The butterfly project is where you draw a butterfly on any part of your body, and wait for it to eventually disappear. If you cut yourself before it has gone, then the butterfly dies. If you don't cut and the butterfly disappears, the butterfly lives.

It is a project to help people struggling with self harm to recover. It is actually pretty simple. If you feel like you want to self harm, you draw a butterfly there were you would normally cut. If you keep yourself from self harming until the butterfly fades, it means it's flown away, which gives you a sense of achievement. And every time you want to cut again, you draw on another butterfly. It is a brilliant and beautiful way to recover.

basically, people will draw a butterfly on their wrist to show support for self harm. the basic gist of it is to wait until the drawing washes off to see if you still want to self harm, but anyone can draw a butterfly to show their support.

The butterfly project is the idea that you draw butterflies where ever you cut. You name them. But if you cut you kill the butterflies. It's an anti-self harm project

The butterfly project is to help those who self-harm. Whenever you want to self-harm, you draw a butterfly where you want to hurt yourself. If you self-harm, you have killed all the butterflies you've drawn. It helps to stop the urge, or prevent you from hurting yourself.
