As this is a group for victims, survivors and young adults who are dedicated to sending a message, I want you all to send this message to everyone you know, whether they self-harm/mutilate themselves or not (Because they might know someone else who does).

I recently found out about this: The Butterfly Project

It's a activity that has been created for self-harmer's/mutilator's, for when they feel like they cannot cope with their emotions or life anymore. All you have to do is instead of harming yourself, draw a butterfly (It does not have to be a butterfly, but more or less something creative like stars, patterns, flowers, etc).

The act of it is simple, because once you have created your butterfly (Or creative work), you must leave it on the area of your body that you were about to harm, until it fades away. The point of it is so you can realize that instead of harming yourself, you can keep yourself healthy, and continue with life without leaving both physical and mental scars.

For more information on this and its official rules, please go here; www.recoveryourlife.com/index.…

I also found a few artists here on dA who have taken part, and I know that at some point I will also upload a few images myself for this project to help raise its awareness. And even if you don't self-harm/mutilate yourself, I was hoping that you could help me do this too.

The other artists I found;

Thank you guys so very much for taking part!
