I used to make a huge deal out of it while I was in school. I didn't give a shit who knew my personal business, they could judge all they wanted. It's AWARENESS day to me, not sit in the corner day. And no one is going to be aware of self-harm if no one puts it out there and talks about it.

True. If my parent's ever find out then I'd probably do something more, but idk.

I wore an orange ribbon, and in every lesson I wrote "Self Harm Awareness Day" on a few pieces of paper and put them in random places around the room while no one was looking. Hopefully someone saw it in the lesson after or something. As long as no one knows it was me, I'm happy.

I couldn't do anything without drawing attention and I feel guilty for it :/ All I did was like Nat's status on facebook ¬¬

I feel like I should have done something meaningful for today, but I didn't. =/ My school is incredibly un-accepting of self-injurers.

I think that's the best thing you could have done on this day. Well done :)
