So the last post I made ^ I didn't write. A famous youtuber made a video, and I've seen comments on how his videos like those were saving people from self harm. So I decided to post a Mytake taking his words and making them my own. It was some negative things that come out of cutting, and I thought that maybe it could wake teens who self harm up. Showing them that cutting can not only hurt yourself but other people. But apparently I had NO idea what I was talking about. Let me show you one of the comments from the last post.

The title wasn't "Stop cutting" I never once said "get over it" I obviously knew that people weren't going to read this and automatically go "Wow, Im going to stop cutting right now!" And throw out all their razors. It was just supposed to show people the affects on you it could have in the future. So maybe the next time they decide to pick up a razor they'll think of one of the reasons and decide to put it down. It was supposed to put some sense into people's heads. It's not telling people to "get over it"

Then I got comments from teens who are telling me that the whole list is wrong. Okay well here's when I'm going to start being a little mean. Why do you have to be so clueless? How come you are defending self harm as if it's a good thing?

"You have no idea, nobody knows why I'm going through"

Actually, a lot of us do. Every teen gets depressed, we all get lonely. So if the reason you're cutting is because of stress, feeling alone, feeling depressed, family issues and you go "You have no idea" then yes, we do have an idea. Even if we don't know, and we try to ask you the reason why you're cutting, you refuse to tell us. You say nobody listens, and nobody cares. But we all care, it could be a family member, a friend, a teacher, or even a complete stranger. We are all listening. You just reject our help.

If you're going to say "nobody cares" then refuse to accept help from anyone, then stop fucking crying for it. You can't tell everyone how depressed you are then say "I don't want to hear it" when we actually want to give you advice. Do you want help, or do you not?

And please, just please don't post your cuts on social media. Because again you get mad when someone comments trying to get you help.

When people say you should get help, it doesn't mean we think you're crazy, it means WE CARE. You keep saying people don't care but open your eyes, look around you. We all fucking care, we are all fucking cocerned. That's why I posted my last take. Because I care. I wasn't "judging" people who cut, as some of you thought. It doesn't matter that I don't actually know you or that I "have no idea what you're going through" I can still be concerned, I can still try to help you. Even if I could save you from ONE cut, that's all I wanted. Not to be called a "bully" because I was apparently judging people who cut.

And for the ones who said I had no right to post what I did because I had no experience with self harm:

And I want to share:

THANK YOU. ADVICE, THATS ALL IT WAS. I wasn't forcing you to stop cutting! I wasn't telling you how to run your life. It was fucking advice, meaning you don't have to take it.

There's the help that you refuse to take. If you dont want it, then stop saying nobody is willing to listen. You're the one is refusing to talk to anyone about it.

Millions of people feel alone, and in that none of us really are
