(proposed by a member of Nerdfighteria in a collaborative effort with SPOTM)
I propose that we all try to go to local schools to do a presentation about self injury. We would each discuss what it really is, why people shouldn't joke about it, and how to handle it if you find out that some in doing it, or if you are doing it and want to stop. I know it could be awkward to do, but it could potentially stop people from ever starting to do it, help them stop, and maybe even save a life.
There is already a presentation made, all you would have to do is contact a school, or schools, and arrange to do this presentation at them. You will probably have to talk with a guidance counselor, and the principal of the school(s). Any questions about what to do or say, or about self injury in general, can be emailed to strawbeekitten@gmail.com
