It's not a joke!

You know what I can’t stand? I can’t stand when people make jokes about SI. SI is real there are people in this world that struggle with SI. It’s not a joke, it’s serious. I don’t think its funny when people walk around and make jokes like “I wish my grass was emo so it would cut it self” or talk about people who cut like they are crazy or less of a person just because they struggle with SI. It is just not okay to make comments like oh my gosh I got a C, I’m gun go cut myself or make some kind of sawing motion on your arm just to get a laugh. I don’t think it is something people need to be laughing about. Usually people who cut try to keep it to themselves, so you don’t know if you’re joking about cutting around people who cut. You make the situation worse when you joke about SI and someone who struggles with it hears you. Just because you don’t think your friends struggle with SI doesn’t mean that they don’t. Just because you don’t struggle with SI that does not mean that your friends or family or people around you don’t struggle with SI. Just because I’m not wearing all black and walking around with my head down does not mean I don’t struggle with SI. Just because other people dress in all black and walk around with there head down does not mean that they do struggle with SI. And just because you don’t struggle with SI and I do does not make you any better than me. SI is not something to joke about. I’m sick of hearing people talk about it like its nothing; people cut weather you don’t think anyone you know cuts or not it happens. It is more common than you think, and it’s not as funny as you think. So think before you speak.
