Or they'll ask "Why did you draw a heart on your hand?" and then you answer and tell about the cause you're supporting, that's how awareness campaigns work.

I'm sure the intentions of the person/people behind the idea of drawing a love heart on your wrist were honorable, but instead of everybody trying to debate whether or not it is actually effective, why not use amirite as a means to get through to people about mental illnesses. Some posts are so pointless, why not make use of the site for good if we have the opp?

i bet they said the same thing when susan g komen for the cure started "oh a little pink ribbon like people are going to look at that and think oh breast cancer" now there are millions around the world in a bunch of different languages that see that ribbon and think of breast cancer awareness. The point is to raise awareness not cure depression also these things have to start someone atleast he is trying he has over 300,000 people agreeing to draw a heart on there wrist for awareness what have you done lately?

I drew 3 hearts on my wrist so that I could finally start my journey to get the Master Sword and save Hyrule.

Ever stop to think that when a depressed teen sees all the hearts that they may feel like they’re cared for?

No....if I was depressed, and I looked at a love heart on some chicks wrist....I wouldn't feel better.

The thing with those types of things is they're supposed to go like this: "Why is there a heart on your wrist?" "Because many people are depressed and I'm helping to spread awareness." But they eventually turn out like this: "Why is there a heart on your wrist?" "Because other people are doing it and it looks cute."

i hate the whole "raising awareness" thing that everybody wants to do. i mean everyone is already aware of it, what the point in raising awareness? its not doing anything to help. like wearing pink doesnt cure breast cancer and drawing hearts wont cure depression. whats the point?

This reminds me of "write love on her arm day" If you know someone who cuts themselves, then you go and write love on there arm, telling them you love them no matter what.

I honestly think there's nothing wrong in wanting to spread some awareness.

To write love on her arms came to my school and we had an assembly and stuff.

What exactly do you expect them to do? I mean yeah it's kind of a stupid thing but honestly normal teenagers can't really do anything to fix depression, they're just kids. I used to have it and I think it's nice that they at least want to help and understand that everyone's life isn't wonderful and perfect like theirs, even if they can't contribute anything of tangible value; leave that to the scientists. Maybe when they get older they'll actually do something, at the very least to avoid feeling like a hypocrite.

drawing a heart on your wrist wont help anything and no one really cares if they cared they would talk to a person not draw a heart.... and many people get heart tattoos on their wrist what about them??? they probally dont give a sh*t!

My daughter recently turned from bruising herself to cutting. We drew hearts near the cuts to remind her that as long as the hearts stay, she cannot self-harm, That combined with counseling and anti-depressants seem to be helping. People do care.

I think everyone agrees that drawing a heart on your wrist doesn't do much but it does symbolise an idea. I'm an ex-cutter so I understand the unbelievable pain that so many teenagers are going through. The reason I have a heart on my wrist is to remind myself that I'm loved but it's also to show that I love others. The idea, as said earlier, is "Why do you have a heart on your wrist?" "It's to raise awareness about teen depression but I personally have it to show that you can conquer it." But words without action means nothing. People shouldn't draw a heart unless they plan on doing something about it. Otherwise people are generally proving that they don't truly care (the epicenter of depression.) If someones upset about the hearts things just have them ask whoever has one on their wrist. Get them thinking rather than letting them go on ignorantly.

Honestly I have tried cutting, I'm super depressed. If a heart was on my friends wrists, or even complete strangers wrists I would feel so loved. Not many people know about this so not many depressed people see it, but by putting on your wrist and exposing the meaning, the thing that thou can to is encourage them to do it to so that other depressed people can feel loved like me. :) idk its probably stupid or whatever but that's my honest opinion, you have yours, I wouldn't judge the concept to quickly thought. Just saying - S.A.
