Words and actions can be something so beautiful, but they can also be the demons that some people have to deal with. Everyone has been criticised and put down for being the way they are, either intentionally or unintentionally, but not everyone takes it the same way. People say that there is no reason to get all worked up about what others say and that it should simply be ignored, which for some can be easy, but for others it may be nearly impossible. Some people are more sensitive to words, and if some people would understand and accept that it would prevent quite a few problems.

There are theories as to why self-harm “helps”. 19-year-old Mia, who suffered from self-harm since the age of 13, claimed,“Slitting my arms was the only thing that seemed to work.

When a bulimic person is done eating the purging disorder often kicks in. They find their way to a toilet or trashcan and force themselves to throw up. At first they have to stick a finger down their throat, but over time their stomach learns to reject whatever food is put into it and automatically vomits after eating.

Another side effect of words and actions is death. For some homicide can be very tempting. To them, getting revenge is what will make them feel better. They feel as though killing the people who abused them will give them the peace of mind they desire. However, most of the time, it leads to either jail time or
