The Butterfly Project
By Alexandra-Leigh Bailey
There’s this thing, called the butterfly project. The point of this is the awareness of Self-harm. Like cutting and burning. So instead of hurting yourself, draw a butterfly!
Rules! 1. When you feel like you want to cut, scratch, punch yourself, burn etc. take a marker, pen, or sharpies and draw a butterfly on your arm or hand.
2. Name the butterfly after a loved one, or someone that really wants you to get better.
3. You must let the butterfly fade naturally. NO scrubbing it off.
4. If you cut before the butterfly is gone, it flies away. If you don't cut, it stays with you.
5. If you have more than one butterfly, cutting makes all of them fly away.
6. Another person may draw them on you. These butterflies are extra special. Take good care of them.
7. Even if you don’t cut, feel free to draw a butterfly anyways, to show your support. If you do this, name it after someone you know that cuts or is suffering right now, and tell them. It could help.
Facts:
It’s pretty explanatory, the rules explain it pretty well. If you are not one to inflict self harm, then show your support for those who do. I Am a cutter, and self harm becomes addicting, as i may not cut anymore, i am an addict. I will always be one. I hope you will show your support, and help spread the awareness!
