Lastnight I was browsing through some pics when I came across a pic where a girl (who calls herself suuuuuuper_bitch) basically said that everyone who self harms has alot in life to be thankful for and to stop whining. She got many likes on her comments and pic and anyone that disagreed was shunned and disliked.
Let me tell you something 'super bitch'.
You have NO right at all to assume anything about anyone's life. Unless you have been in their shoes, you cannot tell them how to express their depression or anger. How DARE you sit there and list the things that they should be thankful for, when you don't know if they even have that. You said that having a phone/ipod is enough to be thankful for. Um, last time I checked, alot of people have phones but are still struggling financially, maybe going through relationship problems, being beaten at home, hell maybe even homeless!
Self harm is unhealthy in the eyes of society, I get that. But for you and your pathetic followers to say that self-harmers should "suck it up and deal with it" is heartless and unkind. Don't get me wrong, I agree with you that a lot of them that do it are for very wrong reasons and maybe just for attention, but not ALL of them. Depression and anger at it's finest can be damaging to a persons mind and cause them to do a plethora of unhealthy things to others and to themselves. For you to judge their situations is just beyond heartless. I mean really. How heartless can you be? We are supposed to love each other and build each other up. I don't care what race you are, what religion you are, or what political party you stand for. If you are feeling so low in life that you want to harm yourself, then I will fully be there for you and help you the best that I can. No matter how small that person's problem may be to you, it can be huge to them. So don't sit there and say that they need to "deal with it like real people would".
And to all of you that think self harm or suicide makes a person a coward, then you need to be put in the situation. To be able to inflict pain purposely on yourself takes alot of guts that most people don't have. And to kill yourself? That's not cowardly at all. You might argue that the fact that they are running from their problems is cowardly. And on some cases I might agree. Like a criminal or a killer that kills himself to avoid jail. But I'm talking about bully victims. Rape victims. Torture victims. Abuse victims. Depression victims. If you're being pushed and pushed and put down to the point that you need to end your own life... than I will not say you are a coward. I will not put you down any further. I will lift you up. And if you do kill yourself, then that's a sign to us as human beings that we aren't loving each other the way we should.
Come on people. It isn't science. Why are we hating the weaker ones? Yes, there are some of us who have been through tough shit and survived without a scratch, but then again there are those that don't. Not all of us are strong. Not all of us can handle it.
So, let's stop judging one another. We all have different lives. If you don't agree with what someone is doing, then help them. Give then support. Don't put them down and label them. You're just adding to the reason they are doing what they are doing.
Just be human.
Love, Nana.
