I completely agree with Rapunzel. People fear what they do not understand. I guess it is human nature...a kind of defense mechanism. It seems to be the same with lots of things..like depression, sexual assault, domestic abuse and so forth. I have always been one to feel that they best way to encourage tolerance is to teach. Perhaps is people could be taught they would be more open minded to reach out to those who do self injury..and help.

<font color=blue> You are in this snowglobe. It is encovered in glass and secure. But one day someone comes and shakes the globe and the pieces go flying everywhere. Now they will eventually settle but they won't be the way they were before and they can never be that way again. </font color=blue>
