tw self harm
I’m sorry for posting this, it’s just I always see pictures on here of girls with flowers drawn around their cuts or pictures of blood in the shape of hearts or people rebloging pictures of scars and saying “I don’t support self harm but for some reason this looks really beautiful” and it really fucking annoys me
self harm is a real problem faced by real people, you may not be meaning to but posts like those mentioned glamorise it and trivialise it and its just not right.
pictures. of. cuts/scars. are. not. cute.
I don’t reblog self harm, but this has a fucking message everyone should hear. Self harm should never be “glorified” or seen as “artistic” in anyway. It’s an actual problem that people deal with and need help with and it shouldn’t be taken lightly.
this this this this
As true as I find this, I have to say: self harm does have its place in art. Not in art that glorifies it, but in art that captures and relay its pain.
