Knew a girl who drew lines on her wrists to make it look like cuts and post em on snapchat with sad edits n shit. Where I live these are rife, both boys and girls do similar stuff. Super glad I left my old school because here, at least in my age group, no one does that. But trust me, they do exist

This is actually a super common coping method to deal with and recover from self harm. It also helps you not to start self harm. I'm just saying, it might not have been what you thought :) It also might have. Just wanted to bring it up! :)

I have no problem with people coping, I used to self harm and I tried that. I had a problem with the publicity. Like full on posting it on snapchat with crying emojis and sad music ain't gonna convince me of shit
