What is the Butterfly Project?

The Butterfly Project is an activity for people who practice self harm to do as an alternative. You have to draw a butterfly on your wrist, arm, or hand, using a marker, pen, Sharpies, etcetera. You can name the butterfly, if you want after someone who gives you positivity. The butterfly can also be named after a loved one. One of the rules is that you have to let the butterfly fade. You can't scrub at it or itch it to make it go away. If you self harm while the butterfly is on your arm/wrist/hand, then you have killed it. If it fades after a period of no self harm, it has lived a life. You can look at the butterfly whenever you feel the urge to self harm. :)

The butterfly project is for when you want to cut/self harm and you draw a butterfly on your arm or hand (and don't scrub it off, it has to fade naturally). Name the butterfly after a loved one/friend and when you want to cut you will see the butterfly and not want to cut.

This is project mainly designed for self-harmers. The self-harmer will have someone they care about draw a butterfly on their wrist and name it after someone they love. If they burn, cut etc. to the butterfly, it dies, like killing who ever's name it was. It helps them resist the urge to self-harm in a healthy way.

They Butterfly Project is a wonderful way to keep from self harming. You draw a butterfly on yourself and name it after someone important to you. The idea is if you self harm the butterfly dies, and no one wants to hurt someone they care about.

It's basically where people who self-harm draw a little butterfly on them self, and name it after someone they love. They can't wash it off, and if they cut the butterfly dies. People who are supporting can also draw butterflies and name them after people they are supporting.

The butterfly project is made for people who are into self-harm. When you fell like you gonna cut, please stop and draw a butterfly on a place of supposed cut. Than name a buttefly after someone who is important to you. Or someone close can draw it. Don't wash off or scrub off it. If you cut it, the buttefly lives, if don't - well done, it's alive! And if you wanna support this project but you don't cut, you can draw it anyways. Good luck!

The Butterfly Project is a project for people who self harm for don't realpse. There's 6 rules, and it's about drawing butterflies on your skin instead of cutting yourself.

the butterfly project is to bring attention to self-harm. Sadly i cannot go into more depth but it is located all over the internet. i do know that you draw a butterfly on your wrist in order to bring attention to self-harm and to those battling alongside it.

The Butterfly Project is a way to help people who are struggling with self harm stop. Its something I used to give up the never-ending loop that self harm was for me. I had my best friend draw multiple butterflies on my arm where I was self harming and promised not to cut again. The concept to the Butterfly Project is to draw something beautiful on your self harm spots; the butterfly, and keep it alive. To keep it alive you cannot cut again. If it was drawn by somebody you care about its an extra special butterfly. If you cut again the butterfly dies and you have to start over again with a new butterfly.
