What is the Butterfly Project?

The butterfly challenge is you draw a butterfly on your wrist and for how long it lives you can't self harm because you'd be killing the butterfly.

A project to save you of self-harm. People will draw a butterfly in their wrist, name them and keeping it alive by no self harming.

I am pleased that you wish to learn more about this, you can find information on the butterfly project through this link..http://butterfly-project.tumblr.com/ I hope this helps in some way if you are needing help in any way

It's basically something to help you stop self-harming. You draw a butterfly, anywhere on your body and if you self-harm you kill the butterfly and you can't wash it away, it has to fade away. And when it does you have made it that long without hurting yourself.

The Butterfly Project is a project to help people stop hurting themselves. Each time you feel like hurting yourself you take a marker or a pen and draw a butterfly on the place you wanted to harm instead to harming it. You can't scrub the butterfly and if you hut the place where you draw it before the butterfly is gone, it dies. You can name your butterflies after loved ones so it will be harder to hurt the place.

I absolutely love the idea behind the Butterfly Project. It is aimed to help people who self harm. They draw a butterfly on where they normally hurt themselves and it fades away naturally- if not the butterfly is essentially dead. It works for some but not others like myself but the idea is very amazing and definitely a better alternative.

The Butterfly Project is a way for people who struggle with self-harm to prevent hurting themselves. When you feel like hurting yourself, the goal is to draw a butterfly in the area you wish to harm. You need to name the butterfly, preferably after a loved one or someone who cares about you. Write the name under the butterfly. If you decide to hurt yourself, the butterfly dies. If you don't hurt yourself, the butterfly lives. It helps in reminding you that there are people who care about you and the butterfly is a symbol for that.

1. When you feel like you want to cut, take a marker, pen, or sharpies and draw a butterfly on your arm or hand. 2. Name the butterfly after a loved one, or someone that really wants you to get better. 3. You must let the butterfly fade naturally. NO scrubbing it off. 4. If you cut before the butterfly is gone, you’ve killed it. If you dont cut, it lives. 5. If you have more than one butterfly, cutting kills all of them. 6. Another person may draw them on you. These butterflies are extra special. Take good care of them. 7. Even if you don’t cut, feel free to draw a butterfly anyways, to show your support. If you do this, name it after someone you know that cuts or is suffering right now, and tell them. It could help.

The butterfly project is when you draw a butterfly where you want to cut and they say if you cut it it dies

The Butterfly Project is something that is designed to help those who struggle with self-harm. The idea is that the person draws a butterfly somewhere on themselves and they name it after someone in which they care about and wouldn't want to hurt. It is to try and help the person overcome the urge to self-harm without actually causing any injury to themselves.
