Re: family jokes about cutting.. - April 29th 2013, 04:36 PM

Like Jason said, jokes like that come from ignorance. And ignorance comes from misunderstandings. Maybe your parent's aren't educated about the topic and they're nervous about it so they just laugh about it. My parents have also made jokes to try to get me to laugh about it.

Don't let this discourage you from telling your parents, though. I'm sure they would definitely change their mindset once they find out that their child is suffering.


If clarity's in death, then why won't this die?
Years of tearing down our banners, you and I
Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts
Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first


The axe forgets, but the tree remembers
