    I love it!  And I totally agree: more people need to be educated about self harm.  At my school, we cover sex, drugs, alcohol and eating disorders but we've never even touched upon self harm.  I think that people are scared to talk about it: there's a sort of taboo surrounding self harm and we should absolutely get more people to realise that it's more common and genuine than one might think.  :)

    Thanks :)
    yeaah i really want more people to become aware of how many people are self-harming. 

    Everyone who needs help deserves it, and just because they don't ask for help, doesnt mean they dont want it.

    People judge self-harmers because self-harm is something they cant understand... i want that to change! :)

Is the text size too large or too small?
You can change your text settings through your browser options:

In Internet Explorer, go to View > Text size and select your desired text size setting (eg, larger, smaller).

In Firefox, go to View > Text size and increase/decrease using Ctrl and + or -

If you have a scroll wheel on your mouse, you can hold down Ctrl and scroll back or forth to increase or decrease the font size in both IE and Firefox.

Changing your computer screen settings
