Yeah, that's not funny: Twitter trolls trend #CuttingForBieber

 

Check these out, too...

Yesterday, the renown pranksters at 4chan launched another mission that is anything but funny. In response to the photos of Justin Bieber allegedly smoking marijuana, they trended the topic #cuttingforBieber.

 

The hashtag was originally thought to be a legitimate effort started by true Beliebers who were disappointed by their favorite star’s actions. People started making off-color jokes about others who self harm and, well, let’s just say it got really ugly, really fast. Stars like Miley Cyrus spoke out against it, and eventually, a new trending topic emerged: #SelfHarmIsNotAJoke.

 

And that, babes, is the truth. Self harm is not a joke. It’s not just a way to let off steam when life is driving your crazy. Self harm, whether it comes in the form of scratching, cutting, burning, eating disorders or something totally different, is not a healthy way to deal with your feelings. There is always someone out there who can help you get things under control.

 

If you’re currently committing or considering self harm, or know someone who is, please call the Nine Line at 1-800-999-9999. It’s totally free and confidential, and will not appear on your phone bill. Please reach out—whether you call, talk to GL’s mods or staffers, or to a trusted friend or adult, there is always another path to take and someone who wants to help you down it.

 

With much love,

The Girls at GL

if anyone feels like harming themselves, please remember to think about the people and things you care about, the people that care about you, and that it will get better. self harm is not a joke, and no one should make you feel guilty for doing it. just remember that there are alternatives that help you relieve yourself without cutting. you can hold an icecube to your wrist or submerge your hands in ice, draw on your wrists with red marker or icing, write a poem, listen to music, etc. there are plenty of alternatives, and more than i can offer if you google it. stay safe and please remember that it WILL get better.

I heard it wasn't actually Miley Cyrus who spoke out against it. It was a fan account roleplaying her.

But still, hurting yourself is never the answer. It won't solve anything, and it will just make you more upset about yourself that you'll have ugly scars!

A suggestion of what to do INSTEAD is to exercise! Exercise is great for stress, and it makes you feel better about yourself too.

Cutting yourself is stupid, especially over Bieber. I mean he already did something he shouldn't have and you can't reverse it. Cutting doesn't help anything. It's an unhealthy habit and it will leave ugly scars on your arms. I knew a girl who did it. Her friends took her to the counselor and now she's all better. But she has to wear long sleaves all the time to cover her scars. It's no fun and its not funny.

Love u all,
Jellygirly

Cutting isn't going to reverse what Bieber did. I mean he already smoked marajuanna and he said he won't do it again. Cutting for Bieber is completely pointless.

Really teenagedreamer345?You found it funny?No offense or anything, but its not. I know its your opinion,and we are all entitled to one but we are talking about people physically HARMING themselves which isnt something to joke about.Yeah their making people mad,but their also seriously screwing up lives sending the message that its okay to screw up your life if another person makes the decision to screw up their own.It makes girls(and even guys)that do cut for more devestating reasons look ridiculous.
