The butterfly project is a project that can aid people who self harm to resist the urges. A butterfly is drawn in the place/s where the individual self-harms and they can use the butterfly to represent someone they love. Then, when they feel the need to self harm, they can look at the butterfly and try to resist so that they do not harm the butterfly. If they self harm, All of the butterflies die.

The butterfly project is a project that helps people that self harm find a way to stop. They draw butterflies wherever they self harm and they name it after someone that loves and cares about them so that everytime they think of self harming they can look down at that butterfly and hopefully not self harm. If the butterfly wears off on its own then that means you are getting stronger and the temptations aren't as strong to self harm. But if you do self harm then you have to wash off the butterfly and start over. This is a really good project

It's when you draw a butterfly on the places you have self-harmed or wish to self-harm. The ideia is to not self-harm or else you'll kill the butterfly

The butterfly project is aimed towards self harm. To sum it all up, you basically draw a butterfly on your wrist anytime you feel the need to cut.

The butterfly project is a method of coping with self-harm. To sum it up simply, drawing butterflies allows someone to feel that they are making a mark on themselves, but positively. In addition, it can be used as a preventative measure to prevent futher self-harm. The butterflies can be named, and have a "life". If the person drawing harms themselves before the butterfly naturally fades away, the butterfly dies. People who do not self-harm can still draw butterflies on themselves to show support.

The butterfly project is when you want to cut but instead you draw a butterfly on your wrist or thigh or stomach and name it. If you cut before it fades then you killed it. If you don't cut before it fades then its alive

It is a project made for self-harmers who feel they are ready to stop and need the motivation or support to do so. Basically, you draw a butterfly (a very innocent, beautiful and delicate creature) on your wrist or wherever you cut. You don't want to hurt the poor butterfly do you? cutting on the butterfly means you've killed it. Thus this is a way to mentally keep yourself clean. Non self-harmers can support those who struggle with self-harm by drawing butterflies on themselves too :)

The butterfly project is a project that helps one become clean from self harm. An individual will draw a butterfly in a place, they feel they would self harm. They can choose to name the butterfly or not. If they self harm, it is as if they have destroyed the butterfly.
