Things Do Get Better.

Hello Beauties! It's Alyssa! I wanted to talk about self harming. It seems to be a really huge fad with teens lately. For those who don't know, self harming is cutting, burning, starving yourself, etc.. To be honest, I don't think it's the right way to cope with depression. There are other ways. Self harming can kill you if you make the slightest incision in the wrong place. Also, self harming becomes an addiction. It's extremely hard to stop. Sometimes people get so addicted, that they never stop. You don't want that to be you. You want to overcome your issues and live a happy life. In some cases, a self harming addiction, can become even more severe than a drug addiction (Not that drugs are any better). Other ways teens cope with depression is drugs & alcohol abuse. These are also ways of self harm. When taking part in those activities, you're practically killing your body. Cutting, burning, starving, drugs, and alcohol are all unhealthy ways of coping. You should never start any of these things because they become an addiction. Good ways of coping can be talking to a trustworthy friend about it, finding things that make you happy, etc.. A way that I've coped with depression is every time I was sad, I would watch one of Lady Gaga's inspirational interviews, watch a performance, or listen to one of her happy songs. It's always helped. You need to find something like that to cope instead of self harming. If you ever feel like you want to self harm, message us & either Kim or myself will get back to you as soon as possible. Stay strong. Self harming may seem like it's helping, but it's not. It's only making you more depressed. Just so you know, once you become addicted to self harming, you end up wanting to hurt yourself even when nothing has gone wrong. You have a beautiful body & it would be such a shame if you ruined it all because of a problem you're having. There's a healthy way of coping with everything. It would be stupid to form a permanent addiction due to a temporary problem.


*Fun Fact* The inspirational celebrities, Lady Gaga & Demi Lovato, both have self harmed in their past. If these beautiful people can stop, so can you! <3
