"ask someone with experience who knows and has the facts especially before you publish an artice as the concerned"
"There needs to be so much more help for people who self harm"
"What a ridiculous definition!!! How many s/i's did u talk to before you came up with that little gem!"
"Self Harm is not a suicide attempt. Saying that is the best way to make alot of people mad."

"Please rephrase and redefine as this is clearly wrong. Did you consult anyone who identifies as a Self Harmer or Self Injurerer prior to deciding on this definition?"
"I have self harmed for years - never in an attempt to kill myself EVER. Nor is it a 'cry for help' why dont you try talking to people instead of making things up off the top of your head. You cant just decide my reasons for doing what i do! Mine are varie"

"i have been reserching self harm and everythink i have come across so far says the oposit to this definition the nhs has"
"Self harm is not an attempt at suicide."
