  • I really don't think you have the right to put pictures on of peoples self harm without their permission.

  • the first video showed? ive watched that. she actually told people to NOT cut themselves and then she proceeded to show her scars and then said that cutting is not a suitable option for anyone. news stories like this make me sick, they just take what they want to see and twist them around

see all

  • It's not just young people

  • They shouldve put a trigger warning!!!

  • I watch those videos to see that im not alone with my problems!! It helps!!

  • @CowieMooCowxo87 Maybe, but they didn't give permission for it to be used in this video.

  • One of my videos is shown in this one, which is actually a video against self injury. What annoyed me is that I also had a self injury song that was on here with over like 25k views, but youtube deleted it! The majority of the comments stated that it actually helped people to not cut. Why keep the videos of people showing their scars and trying to promote self injury, but not the ones trying to show the negatives of it?

  • No

  • Is it only young people ?

  • I agree with these reports because their are some videos that I think are fucking stupid and triggering. I just don't think they should twist it around and show help videos and make them look like they're made to trigger (the first video) or only show the bad side.

  • There shouldve been a trigger warning on this!

  • fuck that shit it is so hard to stop and there is no way that someone can completely get over it i use to cut still think about it everyday Im in a battle with it and im loosing
