There are always reasons not to do something. The reasons are different for eveybody. But sometimes they are the same. Now everybody has posted a lot great reasons we why should not SI so far. I think another great reason is if you have somebody that looks up to you even if that is just one person. THEY MATTER. And sometimes when they see us do this to ourselves it makes them as if they do not matter. Even if we know that is not true. We just have to remember that they are watchingand what we do matters. We all wish we had never started down this violent and vicious path of self-injury, so let's not influence another life or soul to do the same. However you look at it.
