What is the Butterfly Project?

THE RULES: 1. When you feel like you want to cut, take a marker or pen and draw a butterfly wherever the self-harm occurs. 2. Name the butterfly after a loved one, or someone that really wants you to get better. 3. NO scrubbing the butterfly off. 4. If you cut before the butterfly is gone, it dies. if you don't cut, it lives. 5. Another person may draw them on you. These butterflies are extra special. Take good care of them. 6. Even if you don’t cut, feel free to draw a butterfly anyways, to show your support.

It's where you draw a butterfly on your wrist in order to distract/stop you from self-harming as it symbolizes killing the butterfly.

If I am right, it is about escaping self harm, you paint a butterfly over your scars and let it fade away with days, and try not to cut.

the butterfly project is to help with people who self harm. you draw a butterfly somewhere on your body and name it if you'd like. if you self harm than the butterfly dies but the goal is to keep the butterfly alive till it washes off by itself (dont rub it off)

its to help stop teens cutting. its like a rehab thing but a better version where a cutter draws a butterfly on their wrist

You draw a butterfly on your wrist (or area where you selfharm) and the name of a person you care about underneath. This butterfly symbolises them. If you self harm, you have killed the butterfly, if you don't you've let it live

The Butterfly Project is a self harm recovery project, in which you draw a butterfly on your arm, and try to keep the butterfly alive! You can personalize and name your butterfly if you would like too even. The idea behind it is upon forming an attachment to your butterfly, the more you'll want to keep it alive. Relapse in this sense is killing the butterfly, and this project is trying to help train your mind to take care of yourself (your butterfly) and love yourself again.

You draw butterflies on your body where you normally self harm and if you self harm you are killing those butterflies. The butterflies are also representative of your family, so it reminds you that your sh hurts your family.

It's a thing people do to stop self harming where they draw a butterfly on a part of their body that they want to harm. If the ink of the butterfly fades away without you harming the part of the body it is on, the butterfly metaphorically flies away.
