It's definitley an interesting idea. I'd be worried about people going "wtf is with the butterfly, Em?" but it's a nice idea, I totally would've done that when I used to draw all over my arms anyway.
Her little bit about faith bugged me. I don't mind someone talking about faith, because it does help, me anyway. But I kinda don't love it having to be explicitly Christian... But I'm just overly sensitive I guess.
Ok, so...I'm feeling like crap...and then I realise I've killed a butterfly.
That would cheer me up...
Hmm, yeah, you're right. The more I think about it, the more I realize that this would probably be about as effective as promising someone not to (so.. not at all effective!). Because stopping is hard and the last thing we need when we slip up is more things to feel bad about.
I like the Butterfly. It is easier to explain away than the scars or cuts and it has been one of the most helpful things to me, because naming it after a person who has helped you or whatever means that it is like cutting that person too and that's always what stops me now.
quite a nice idea, although the religious part was a bit freeky...she sounded like she was trying to force you into it...i didn't like it. the overall idea is kinda sweet, but i doubt i'll find my self doing it, drawing a butterfly on my arm and naming it means absolutly nothing to me, well i don't have anyone to name it after, and i hate butterfly's so i guess it wouldn't.
I think it may work for some people but I think I'd end up even more depressed knowing I'd just cut and killed a butterfly, idk, personally i don't think it would motivate me at all.

I think it's rather dumb. In the end this "project" could result in Self injury. If the butterfly "dies" because the person winds up S.I.ing, the person is going to feel guilty and might S.I. again. This is just my perspective.
it really made me laugh that shes drawin on her arm with a sharpie.
ha.
^_^ Same.
I thought she was going to make the sharpie into a butterfly...to be ironic....and I was like...how is that going to look anything like the butterfly at the start of the video.
Silly.
She had scary eyes when she said "you will have killed your butterfly!"
