Re: Self Harm as Art? What?! -
Yesterday, 10:58 PM
As someone who struggles with self harm and self harming behaviours themselves, I would never refer to it as art.
It sounds like your friend is perhaps struggling with something and is using self harm as way to cope, and is possibly showing people the injuries and self harm and calling it art as a way for asking for help.. you could suggest this website to your friend, talk to them and tell them you are worried about them and offer to speak to a teacher or a school counsellor about it with them.
I know some people when they have stopped self harming see their scars as a journey of where they were, and what they have overcome. and a reminder that they came out the other side.
It sounds like your friend needs help.
