Searching For Forever

This is an email I sent to TeenNick

"Hello,

I know this may not be the way to get in contact with any producers, but it's my best shot. I know people, including myself who have been struggling with depression and self harm. I appreciate the show "Degrassi" because it talks about things that actually happen in a teens life, and they don't sugar coat it. 

There hasn't been any shows really highlighting the dangers and/or struggles of self harm. We had Ellie Nash a while back who had one episode about her cutting, and small references every-so-often, but that's the thing: A problem like self harm doesn't go away in a day or a week. 

I think it'd be great if there could be a character struggling with self harm in the future, hopefully highlighting the struggle. Perhaps the character wants to stop, but can't. Because I know for a fact it's hard to stop.

I know this email may not even be read, but please, please, please take my suggestion into consideration, and forward it to whoever needs to read this. As a self harm recover-er myself I think it would be great if you could inspire people through your show to try and stop what they do.

Thank you,

K

Please Please Please Reblog this. This is an important cause. People need to be aware of Self Harm. It's not something that is solved quickly it takes time. It's just as serious as a pregnancy and more so than sex scandals and rumors. We need to reach out to people so they know that Self Harm isn't something to take lightly. It's not an uncommon thing so the media should inform people more about it. I know that most of us are too old for TeenNick, but it's a way to get our message out there.

This song is truly inspiring to me right now. I'm struggling a lot right now and this song helps get me through a lot.
