Society’s view on self-harm is really unfortunate. Well, not so much its view but its reaction. The worst part is, you can never tell how someone will react. Some are totally comfortable with the subject while others completely bug the fuck out and make the person feel so entirely alienated and really, like a freak.
Cutters are not weird. They’re not diseased. They are not doing it for attention (well, most of them at least). They deserve to be taken seriously and listened to as a person, not a psychopath. All they are are people who don’t understand how to cope with with abstract issues and are looking for a tangible solution to their problems.
It’s not terribly hard to comprehend.
