some people might see it as the same as getting a tattoo of your favourite band.
Oh well I would see self harm as a bad thing so wouldn't want to associate it with my favourite band. But I am in recovery. I guess someone who is still cutting might see it that way. Not me personally though. But thanks for explaining, I hadn't thought of it like that.
I got a tattoo connected to my favourite band as a symbol of moving forward and it helped my recovery as I self Harmed a lot less due to not wanting to cut in that area.
I posted about how upsetting and disturbing I found the cutforbieber thing and have already had one friend take the piss out of, not only these people who are cutting but, self harmers in general and practically saying it's the same thing
I just hate the way that self injury has now been introduced to a **** load of young and obviously very impressionable people as a way to manipulate others. Exactly what those who 'really'* self harm need - more bad press and further additions to the attention-seeker stereotype.
*I couldn't think of a better word. I mean those who harm for their own private reasons, as their coping mechanism, rather than all this crap.
Now I'll play your ghost as my ace, whenever I'm led astray.
But I am actually good, can't help it if we're tilted.
I'm in my right place, don't be a downer.
I logged onto facebook after getting out of the cinema, and certain folks from here had 'liked' the self harm pics, which caused me to become immensely triggered and just took my mind back to a place where, for just one night, I was trying to escape from.
Also, if you were any kind of fan, why on earth would you want to make someone feel like that? To feel like you are responsible for someone hurting and abusing their body is terrible. If that's what people are after, then they need a serious reality check. I know all this started off as a hoax, but that's not how it's going to end.

Justin Bieber fans tricked into self harming by internet prank

Justin Bieber fans self-harm in 'protest' against his alleged marijuana smoking.
The Twitter hashtag was started as a joke but was apparently taken seriously by young fans
Justin Bieber fans have been posting pictures of themselves self-harming as a way of pleading with the pop star to stop smoking marijuana.
The hashtags #cutforbieber and #cuttingforbieber started trending on Twitter after internet message board community 4Chan started spreading the meme as a joke, writes Complex.
Young fans of the singer however, soon picked up on the hashtag and started posting pictures in which they are thought to be cutting themselves for real, reports Gossip Cop.
"The origins are fake, but the Tweet trending — and the people supporting it — are disturbingly real," writes Complex.
US gossip website TMZ recently posted pictures obtained from an anonymous source which show Bieber "clutching a smouldering blunt" while at a party in a hotel room in Newport Beach.
After the photos were published, Bieber took to Twitter to speak directly to his fans in a series of emotional tweets.
According to TMZ, Lil Twist, a rapper friend of Justin Bieber's, was with the pop star in his hotel room when the pictures were taken. The photos were allegedly taken the day after a photographer was killed trying to take a picture of Bieber's white Ferrari.
Since the accident, Justin Bieber has called for tougher laws involving paparazzi photographers.
I dislike Bieber and I think the majority of his fans are freakishly over obsessed but this is pretty low so far as online pranks go. Manipulating young teens into self harming by playing on their obsessions is rather cold especially given that someone could have ended up hospitalised or worse.
Peoples opinions on this?
Some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money.
They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with.
Some men just want to watch the world burn.
Then wear the gold hat, if that will move her;
If you can bounce high, bounce for her too,
Till she cry "Lover, gold-hatted, high-bouncing lover,
I must have you!"

I don't think many people really are serious. But instead of being serious they make fun of it. And it really does add to the thinking that cutting is only to get attention and it's weird or a joke. That is the worst thing I think. Except for the few who will take it seriously. That is just so sad. I can't imagine having a mind twisted enough to start this as a joke or otherwise. I wish people would just stop tweeting about it though. It's starting to get pretty triggering.
The one who wishes to lead the orchestra must first turn his back to the crowd.
*Sigh*. People can't be 'tricked' into self harming. Self harming has underlying issues and there's clearly something wrong with these kids if they are actually cutting themselves over this. HOWEVER, it has not been proven that any of the Twitter accounts doing this are actually real. Most are fake accounts.
To be fair, they've got to be fuccking insane to like Justin Bieber in the first place, so I wouldn't put it past them. And I'm not surprised the kid wants to smoke weed if he's got millions of fuccking 12 year olds running after him screaming his name. I'd be taking much harder drugs than that. I hate those little Belieber shiits.
I'm gonna tap him like a maple tree. I'm gonna search him for some syrups. I'm gonna be having sex with him.
There's another thread in News and Debate, but I'll just repost what I posted in there.

Personally i think this is both hilarious and insane.
I shall explain:
Hilarious, because apparently people are stupid enough to believe everything they read on the web, and because they are stupid enough to think that what they do (this by the way is regardless of what it is they are doing) is actually going to change the way a celebrity behaves
Insane, because, and i think we can all agree on this one, it makes mockery of self harm and those that do it for what i guess to summarise you could call "legit" reasons.
People a freaking morons. That is my inflation adjusted 2p's worth
N.b. Side note, personally if JB wants to smoke weed he is perfectly entitled to and i won't judge him. It's only a big deal because he is a celebrity. If this was pre-fame for him, nobody would care.

Some people just need a high-five. To the face. With a chair.
This is actually sick, the internet troll has just gone too far this time. Usually I don't really mind trolling, most of the time it's pretty harmless it just gets people a bit annoyed, but when people are actually harming themselves it's just gone way too far. I get that the fans who are doing it are being, for lack of a better word, stupid. But the troll who started this must have known that most JB fans are young girls, who let's face it are practically in love with the guy and are very impressionable, it's disgusting.
I also hate that people are posting pictures of this on facebook, I was just happily scrolling down my news feed then suddenly blood and cuts everywhere. Not cool.
We need never be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken
