If your story does have this included, please understand that it is a very serious and important topic that should not be taken lightly. I've read so many stories like this, and whenever there is a scene where the character cuts and it is in major detail, I cringe at it!

For me, I would like people who have experienced it before write about it because they know how it feels, they know what's it like vs. people who have been jumping in a valley with doughnuts coming from the sky. Also, it is so mopey. I shudder thinking about it. Anyways, when creating your story and you want it to involve something with depression or physically injuring themselves, make sure that there is a very good reason that they do so. Why would someone damage their skin because of something so small? Be original about why. I know I sound so.. cruel about it because I know people have different sensitivity levels.. but still. You want your story to be golden. Not some story that it is only known for being a waste of space.

Maybe instead of self-harming or that type of disturbing visuals, you could go up to your bully and smack them dead! I know I will. I just don't like the thought of anyone cutting themselves because their life is horrible enough.

Oh, and, I read stories where they use razors and then get out of the bathroom. Ahem, I thought people lived in your household and you're leaving a razor out in the open that you haven't even washed? Kids? This is only for stories who have someone else living in the household. I know you could just put it in a cupboard.. what about cleaning day hmm?
