  • im trying to promoting for to write love on her arms please help!

  • This is the reason I love Switchfoot. Switchfoot was the only band that got me to not only keep myself from cutting, but throw my scissors away. Immediately."Dare you to move" made me realize I could get up out of my situation, and God would be there for me. God is so present in their songs.I dared myself to move by wearing short sleeves tomorrow to school and writing "love" on my scarred arms.

    I DARE YOU TO MOVE, TOO.

  • Its all this EMO music!

  • I love vids like these, i was a cutter for 7 years and attempted suicide when i was 16. Now im 20, and when i got Love tattooed on my wrist right underneath my cuts. I still slip up sometimes n get out the razor but the Love is always a little reminder that my life as well as myself are worth something.

  • @EccentricEmii just ask for help. it's great that to stop cutting is your new years resolution. don't let yourself down. people will understand the reason why you want to quit more than they will understand the reason for why you do it. send me a message if you need to talk to someone. I know what you're going through.

  • I would love to bring To write love on her arms to my school(:

  • @mewkittyninja just do it, they cant stop you, all of my friends and family did it, it is on november 13th every year

  • what ifi cut and no one knows.. its my new yeas revolution to stop..i hope i succeed.. .. just it hurts so bad and when i hurt.. i have nothing else to turn to but cutting, but now im trying to stop.. i want to do this TWLOHA thing.. but /no one knows i cut ... and they could notive the writing and ask about my scars.. they dont notice them but they will when they seee the word love.. what do i do?

  • @EccentricEmii You write love on your arms to show the world that you're strong enough to show your weakness, and to make yourself stronger. I used to cut. I realized there's people who need me, and that I was selfish for only caring about my pain. There are others who suffer greater pain without even being the cause of it. To write love on your arms is to accept what you've lost, and to feel happiness again. ♥

  • @GreenQueen20217 i have accepted it, its dumb, doesnt help anyone, only hurts you , and other who love you more..but.. i still cant stop, my parents found out and all hell broke loose, .. and im worse than ever.. so my dads gonna call someone and get me hellp .. ireally wish i could stop .. i hate it .. its ruining everything.. but i cant seem too thanks for the help thought ! <3 :)

  • End your pain with a smile and a hug.

    Things will get better soon, promise.

    Just know I love you (:

  • end the pain with suicide.

  • @6PURExHATE6 wtf is ur problem?

  • @6PURExHATE6 You are embarassing.

  • @6PURExHATE6 whats embarrassing is haveing people like you look at somethinglike this and call it embarrassing.

  • this girl i talked to helped me think about my suicide she showed me people do care. and she deffinitly cares . she loves helping people with cutting depression or suicidal issues 412 841 1047 (texting) (:

    I'm the 1 in 12.

    I'm the 2 out of 10.

    But people I love have showed me how to live. And so has TWLOHA.

    Love is the movement. <3

  • nice video!!

  • its more than just teens im 21 and had a slip

  • I love this movement. And i write To Write Love On Her Arms on my arm almost everyday to support it. <3

  • i'm one of the 1 out of 12 who knew music could save your life.

  • i am only 13!

    And i already know the in life, the world doen't ever get better,easier, or anything else that's good.

    I am alive for one person!

    no one will ever be there for you even when they promise!

  • @schreiable Im only 13 to, Know how you feel x.

  • @schreiable Last year, one of my best friends in the whole world felt this way. He kept going off on his own, trying to slowly disappear from school and family and all of us. He said that he was just going to stop going all together one day and he hoped no one would notice. When he tried to give me his mother's keepsake(a cross necklace) I'd had enough. I told him that if he felt this way ever to call me, at any time, day or night.

    A month later at 3 in the morning, my mum and I talked him out.

  • im one of those 1 out of 6 who have planned.... but 2 people have made me reconsider <3

  • write love ppl write it on your arms on ur bracelets on everything spread the word!

  • So I'm having a few ideas for my next video and I've thought of putting some of your stories into a video. If you feel comfortable sharing then send me a private message. I'm not sure how this is going to work yet. It may or may not happen.

  • @harknesswolf 'd do it(:

  • Yeah at school we did it today, I didn't know about it until today. Do they do it every year close to vday?

  • Aaah, I like switchfoot,

    I know a lot of songs of them :D

  • Who sang this song?

    There are more versions, but who sang this version?

  • Switchfoot :D

  • TWLOHA is on the 12th and 13th of Feb 2010 in the UK =) Im definately writing it this year

  • Comment removed

  • is this every year? Then I'm going to do it this year <3

  • <3 twloha.

  • its *world, not wourld

  • its just how ppl are. everyone is differnt

  • @MegaApeman You wont understand until it happens to someone you know. A ton of kids at my school made fun and called cutters crazy and said suicide victims were cowards, until a boy shot himself in the head. He wasn't dark, he never wore black, he never told anyone, he was always smiling. He just did it. Didn't even leave a note.

    Now everyone seems to have shut up about suicide at my school.

  • I'm going to go to school on Wendsday with love written on my arm, and I'll wear a short sleeve shirt even though its winter, and when all the people ask me why I'll say......"TWLOHA!" and smile.

  • pls i cut die into my right arm and pain in my left someone plss help me i cant take anymore pain i lost my friend to suicide and i dont wanna take the pain any more i feel i have no hope i told my girlfriend that if she kills herself ill be there right next to her to die with her but i feel there is no hope. is there? if so pls contact me i think that inside pain hurts more than outside pain and that this group thing would not help me at all but i WANT hope and i need it soon i have suicideplan

  • I'll message you.

  • Great vid and song as well as TWLOHA ...I participated in it this year and there was this one girl who didnt understand it at all and she said "you participated in that shit?" It hurt because I have lost a friend to suicide and considered it myself. I looked at her and simply told her it isnt shit and you wouldnt understand. then walked away

  • this started because of a girl that they helped. They started this becuase of her story.

  • being depressed sucks..='(

  • When are you supposed to do it? please reply to me :D

  • I'm pretty sure it was November 13th but you can really do it whenever you want :D

  • what is the date your supposed to do it?

  • when is this day???

  • plz...sumone help me, i cut love in both my wrists, but no one cn seem 2 help me....am i worth nothing...

  • I'm not really trained to help people with this kind of thing but if you go to the To Write Love on Her Arms site there are numbers to call and ways to get help. You can always message me if you need something.

  • I was doing the same thing.... I understand that people are all like "Why do you do that its stupid and useless and going to do nothing for you" But Call Me anytime and i will Help you With it My # is (207)737-2391 and I am up anytime You need to Talk.... I hate to see Anyone the way i was

  • im not being mean or anything and i luv that you want to help but its probably not the best idea to put ur number on here.....try ur email or something

  • YEah I thought of that after i posted

  • You aren't worthless. I promise. There's hope.

  • When was this love thing meant to happen?? I haven't heard of it before?? Is it once a year or every weekend?

  • It's a once a year thing but you can do it whenever you like. :D

  • @harknesswolf when is it?? The exact date please. I would like to recommend doing it to the student body president.

  • when is the 2010 date

  • The 2010 date is 12th and 13th Feb in the UK

  • I wrote love on my arms friday, it stayed on saturday, I rewrote it sunday in Chinese, and it is still on today. if i ever get a tatoo (which i dont think i will *ouch!*) it will be love in Chinese :) alot of people at my school had love on their arms, even people didnt expect. it was AWESOME!! everyone had fun writing on my arms, they were COVERED by the end of the day! TWLOHA is a great organization and TWLOHA day was amazing and inspirational :) <3

  • i was the only person at my school to write love on my arm, and theres alot of people in my school!!

  • I was the only person at my job to have the words Love is The Movement written on my arm...by the time my shift was over everybody i wrkd with had it on there arms...it felt good

  • my school didnt writelove on their arms they have bad opinions about it...every day i have to hear them alkin about emos and hope to God they dont know about me.

  • Everyone does it at my school =)

  • today i was the only one to write love on my arms, in the beggining of the day everyone was asking me why i had the word love on my arms, i informed them about the organization and they wrote love on their arms. Other people asked them why they had love on their arms. By the end of the day, about 100+ people had love on their arms. So i realized, by one person starting awareness, it can spread.

  • I may never get the permanent marker off of my arms. And I'm ok with that :)

    I love this organization.

  • National 'To Write Love On Her Arms' day is this Friday ;D

    I'm going to be the only one in my school writing 'LOVE' on my arm, but it's such an awesome thing to support.

  • I'm going to be one of the few at my school doing it too. I'm excited for it though. <3

  • @cocoa1211: TWLOHA day is friday. This was posted in May of 2008. EVERYONE WRITE LOVE ON YOUR ARMS FRIDAY!

  • I thought it started friday?

  • old vid

  • I remember the day when all of the people at my school wrote love on their arms. That was a nice day. Everyone was friends that day.

  • I miss casey calvert! and i <3 TWLOHA

  • there shirt is sexxy on ppl

    i love dis group

  • Who sings this song?

  • love is the movement-reliant k

  • i thought it was switchfoot??

    anyway, this is an awesome cause. there is nothing worth fighting for more than life itself.

  • oh sorry i was talking to sombody about deathbed(a good song) got mixed up thanks for correcting me

  • switchfoot

  • to write <3 on her arms :)

  • i open a group in facebook with the name write love on your arms and put this link on it to this video if you have facebook join and inv your friends lets spread the word :)

  • hey my name is dj and when i found this it was sooooo hard for me i almost cryed because my ex cuts because her life is deppresing and i need help. help me for her to stop cutting

  • Comment removed

  • i gotcha bro you need me im here

  • Wow honestly the people that need the most help arent the ones who are complaining they are the ones in there beedrooms crying because they think no one cares. What you can do instead of posting in comments about how crappy your lives are, is go around you school and look for the kid who doesnt have any friends and talk to them and have lunch with them. It may seem like nothing to you but it could change a life and maybe even save one

  • your school *

  • That's really what this is about. That friendless kid will see everyone with Love written on their arms and know they aren't alone.

  • It takes more then a day. People need to know it's not a one time thin. It's all about your actions on an everyday basis. YOU could make a difference

  • song?

  • Love is the Movement -Switchfoot :D

  • the idea of love was the cause of my suicidal thoughts / plans

  • Okay, so people are writing Love on there arms to tell people about Twloha?

    And are people still writing love on there arms?

    Cause I wanna write love on my arms, because I love Twloha[:

  • yes.. people still do.. but u don't see it much here around toronto..

    TWLOHA Week is september 10-17 and that's when i always write love on my arms..

  • the one underneath me. yeah thats me. i ust got a new account. Sorry if i confused anyone though

  • Im glad that people are being helped. no one can help me though. i mean i have two burn marks on my neck from metal i decided to make glow orange and put on my neck. i also have scars all up and down my wrists. i was in a hospital and got out on my 15th birthday. im 16 now and i still havent recovered but i dont care..i like the way i am. i love my self-mutilation.

    well, if anyone wishes to talk...message me i guess

  • my parents sent me to a hospital a week after my 13th birthday. i almost tried to commit but was afraid what god would do. after a month and one relapse and continuing therapy im now doing well. thank you god and all the friends who really cared.

  • i have a love heart carved into my arm/hand.. i have alot of scars,  But since finding this its helped me alot :)

    To Write Love On Her Arms.

  • Does carving love on your arm count to? O:

  • No hun i don't think so.

  • well no,

    the whole point of TWLOHA

    is to STOP self harm.

    so write it. dont cut it. :]

  • Hmmm.

    Very interesting.

  • i just found i what this is and im soo happy to. insted of cutting write love :D

  • What's this song called?

  • love is the movement by switchfoot i just asked that same question not to long ago

  • the song is

    love is the movment by switchfoot

  • where r you getting these satistics from

  • I'm pretty sure I got them from either the TWLOHA website or a flier about TWLOHA .

  • ok seriously what is the name of the song. also depression adn suicied isnt something just to joke about its serious and alot of people go threw it. its realy easy to make jokes when you dont know how bad it hurts to be in a situation like that it sucks trust me im one that would know you dont understnad until yuove gone threw it.

  • The song is called Love is the movement by Switchfoot.

  • oh haha thank you!

  • soo true..

    suicide survior two times..not something to b happy bout but i've been down that road one too many times..

  • same ive only survived once but im still only 14 i needed help but didnt wnt 2 get it im slowly but hopefuly getting better its nto a good place 2 go alone its scarry &dark&can kill u very easily if ur not careful im only 14 but i sure do know alot more pain than most i know where ur commin from and im still going down it everyday slowly trying to find my way back to the light again. where there is lightthere cannot be darkness and anger and despair live in the shadows so surround urself w/ hope

  • sometimes you can only help yourself...no matter what ur gonna have part of this lifestyle in ur life it just wont have as much controll over you...i mean when i'm upset i still consider it but i'm over needing it anymore like i dont have to but i still give it a thought...i am only 17 but this was my friends account but wat ever...and its true u do have to surround urself with hope and ppl who really care!

  • i know and thats the thing that scares me the most is that if i do live through this that im still gonna wanna do it and im still not sure that i have the will power to stop myself. its not that i realy need it its more like i want it. i want that one pain that I! control. you know the one pain that i can say i brought apon myself instead of someone else or something else causing it...its an expression of my lonelyness [sp?] and emptyness [sp?]

  • yea.....

    i scare myself somtimes...i came soo close the other day....i kno how u feel with the controled pan!!it sucks but i kno that if i can do it at rock bottom then u can to!

  • aww thanks its nice to know that i have people out there who understand and that can help i will forever be thankful 8)

  • i am always here if u need anything...we dont know each other but..it feels like we do..just like kindergarden!lol...and ur always welcome to send me a message or wat ever.

  • haha and im always here if you need to talk like yuo said even though we dont know each other i think it would be a privaledge to get to know you 8)

  • not a privlage..just....idk...its like i was meant to tlk to u!lol....but yeaa..i would love to tlk to u!^_^

  • haha and why wouldnt it be a privaledge lol i think it is. to be able to talk to someone who knows pretty much exactly what im going through....its just neat ive never been able to do that before so i do feel privlaged in many ways 8)

  • ok..i guess it is..lol!...i am always here!...want my email too?u can always get a hold of me there too! ^_^

  • haha and sure but just send it to me in a message i dont think you want everyone who watches this video to start randomly emailing yuo lmao that wouldnt be good 8)

  • ahhha yeaa that would b super creepi lmao!!ahhah!ok i'll send it!

  • coolcool 8)

  • Dumbutt3000.. That was seriously out of line. You don't understand anything about suicide. You obviously don't want to show your pain, and that's fine but whenever you do want help, whenever you need someone to talk to.. There's going to be a very limited option. No one will want to talk to such a heartless person like you.

  • wat the hell is u problem? why the fuck do u thing that someone should kill themselves because of the music they listen to? u dont understand how bad it hurts to lose a friend because of suicide like i do. starting fucking thinking before u type. so until u know wat if feels like for one of ur closest friends to kill themselves and everyday thinking its ur fault and just wantin to end ur life, like i feel, dont say shit like that and if u do end up having that happen u wont be sayin that

  • i'm sorry..and i KNO how u feel..and it was all MY fault......my friends killed himself..and there isnt a day that goes by i dont consider trying to kill myself again....

  • its one of the worst feelings in the world....theres not a day when im alone or if im with friends that i/we dont think or talk bout it

  • i'm sorry.......its like everyday u wake up with guilt that wont go away..

  • how can this help?

    makes me cry nothing else i feel that there is no hope im going to hospital again and again until the day i kill myself i have ever known it and i thought that god may help me and he did but im not i cannot help myself.

  • This basically just let's people know they aren't alone. It just shows that we all go through similar stuff and struggle with the same things. No one is alone.

  • even after conteplating suicide, i find myself still lost and lonely

    months after getting through the plague of deppresion and anxiety

    i find myself looking for something

    i still have no clue what im searching for but i am constantly searching

    and it still hurts not knowing what i am here for or what im supposed to stand for

  • its like you took words right from my mouth.

  • yeah

    i hate it

    i just want to find her......

  • you just want to find who?

  • Her

    the one who needs me

    the one that will love me

  • I know what u mean, and i'm always hearing people say "Don't even think about it, the feeling will go away." But it never does, you have to go through it to know how people like me, or you...hell us feel. Nobody evn tries to understand nowadays, and so many people just act like their depressed, but there really not and that pisses me off. But i can't lecture anybody on sucide because i've attempted it.

    and love, in the end, it doesn't really help. It hurts more than help.

    Cause love nvr last...

  • love is a mistake worth making.

    i lost the only person in my life who could make me happy.

    he wouldnt even have to try..

    he just did it.

    and ever since then...

    i barely remember what happiness is.

    love is a mistake.

    but its worth making.

  • I'm sorry, and i understand compleatly.....

    Love is a mistake worth making?

    That may be, but is the pain worth it?

  • thank you so much for listening to me.

    and for feeling sorry. it is not your fault though,

    and i can tell you... the pain is not worth it. but everything else is.

    thats the best way i can put it.

  • thats the thing ive never gained anything but hurt from love, or wanting to be loved...... im close to giving up
