I dont think lying or giving ideas of what lies to say is encouraging people to stop self harming, i feel it is doing the opposite.

I'm actually working on a something CT that will be a section on the main site that contains information for parents and friends. Once I finish it, if the main site isn't ready, it can be posted in a thread on the forums. It's not a "how to tell' but more the answers to questions parents and friends might have. People could show that to their family if they didn't feel they could explain it themselves.

I agree that threads/articles on how to tell the truth would be extremely helpful. I agree about giving ideas for lies.

While I don't like it, and I think it's pretty borderline, I think not allowing people to ask those questions may be going too far.
