The way she feels
has anyone seen the video by Between The Trees called the way she feels.{if you havent seen it look it up on youtube or whatever you have} I really like the song and the video is good. but I really dont think thats the way a parent would act if they found out that they're kid was Self-Injureing. What do you think?
I'll be honest, that is the most touching song and video about SI I have ever seen. I think most parents choose anger as their first reaction because they are afraid to show the honesty of emotion that the father showed in the video. If more parents were willing to help their children through tough times like that father, I think that we would have a lot less self injurers.

yeah...I think your right. I really do love that video. When My parents found out my dad seemed like he was more worried about the scars and people finding out{same with my mom} Then they just keeped talking about it and sorta making fun of me for it. Which of corse didnt help
true most parents don't act like that, but judging off the fact that the band is christian, i think they may have been subtly putting that in there and saying thats how God reacts... sorry just my 2 cents- *goes away reminding people she's not trying to start a debate*

I didnt know they where a christian band. I just knew they where on tour of To Write Love On Her Arms. Yeah I think you have a point there.

My sister did something similar. she kept calling me 'emo' and stuff which made me feel really panicky and horrible. But In think that was her way of trying to stop me from doing it, so it was nice to know that she cared, even if she didn't express it inan obvious way ^^
I could be your everything, you could be my all.
But whenever you take a stand, instantly I fall.

This assertive passivity will never make us happy.
I love that song, and the video is pretty cool too. But yeah, you gotta remember it is just a video, and I doubt many parents would react that way in real life. Pity really...
For those doubts that swirl all around us
For those lives that tear at the seams
We know… we’re not what we’ve seen
For this dance we’ll move with each other
There ain’t no other step than one foot
Right in front of the other
It's a good video but like other people have said, I dont think many parent react how the dad did.
When my dad first found out he just laughed at me and got angry, then the second time after I had been diagnosed he seemed to care a lot after realising it wasn't just some attention seeking phase I was going through and now he's a bit better, I think he thinks I've stopped but he wandered into ny room one day and started going on about ways to help myself not cut (like rubber bands and snapping them on your wrist etc) which was nice.
My mum got quite angry though. If more parents reacted well I think a lot more people would either not SI or find it a bit easier to stop with their parents' support. Mind you it must be so hard as a parent to find out your child does that to themselves.
I've heard the song and seen the video. In my experience my parents were not nearly that understanding, nor did they care that much..they where just concerned about how it made them look. However, having said that, I love the video and the song, it's brilliant work by the artist.

i love between the trees and the way she feels. a time for yohe is great to, its about renee yohe, the influence of to write love on her arms. when i heard between the trees were supporting kids in glass houses i bought tickets and painted a big banner saying to write love on your arms and held it up through most of their set. to my delight they spotted it and the lead singer spoke to me after. he's a really nice guy.
My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me. So won't you kill me so I die happy.
Hmmm isn't the "He" they mention in the song god? I think it's ok but don't share this point of view so it doesn't really move me personally.
