Self Injury Awareness Day is 1st March (I know I'm a bit late in submitting this!)

I produced this to help raise awareness of self injury because it is still a subject that no one talks about and few people understand. Most people aren't attention seekers, they just deal with their pain in a more destructive way then other people. I know many people who self harm so this is a subject very close to me.

The orange bracelet is a Self Injury Awareness Day band, you can buy one from here: [link]

By the time girls reach 16 (in the UK) 1 in 5 will have self injured at some point. Thats shockingly high. So please FAV this to raise awareness and to show your support

I quite liked this quote:

"We are male and female. We are artists, athletes, students, and business owners. We have depression, PTSD, eating disorders, borderline personalities, bipolar disorder, or maybe no formal diagnosis at all. Some of us were abused, some were not. We are straight, bi, and gay. We come from all walks of life and can be any age. We are every single race or religion that you can possibly think of. Our common link is this: We are in pain. We self-injure. And we are not freaks."

UPDATE 2009: Thank you everyone who has faved this and commented. Thank you to the people who have supported SELF INJURY AWARENESS. It really is a cause that still needs to be worked on but we are getting there, slowly.
