Self-Awareness

[Seeker94]

I am going to start a Self-Awareness thing at my school and start it off by asking the principle and all but if they let me I will also give a speech as well. I would like to know some of your stories on why you cut and ect. As a person who is trying to recover from it all I want to help out as much as I can and I know it has to be done little by little. So any advice/info you can give will be helpful. Thanks to all those who help the cause.

This sounds like a great project and hats off to you for wanting to do it! :D

Of course you need a number of personal stories to highlight the fact that there isn't a typical self harmer and that we aren't some weird cult.

(My story is a tad on the long and complex side so maybe not the best to off with. If you want to read it to see if it would suit your purpose I will happily give it to you.)

I think what some people do when doing this type of thing is they get caught up in describing the self harm and the context in which it occurs. If you can get a good bit about the recovery process in there too then that would greatly benefit your project, IMO.
