TWLOHA Day

To Write Love on Her Arms Day. It annoys me that so many kids participate at my school by wearing their twloha shirts and writing love on their forearms, but very few can explain what twloha is. Is that not the entire point?! To Write Love on Her Arms is an organization to raise awareness and spread love to the world, especially the people who are hurting. So out of the maybe twenty people I asked, only five knew why they had permanent marker on their arms. Ridiculous.
And how many are actually fulfilling the goal of twloha? How many are reaching out to the people suffering from self-infliction and depression and eating disorders? How many are showing love to the people with razor marks on their arms? I mean, we go to a public high school. I know at least a handful of people who cut themselves, and another handful that have eating disorders. We all see it everyday, and many of us don't do anything about it. So when a day like To Write Love on Her Arms day comes around, why pass up the opportunity to possibly save someone's life?
I'm just saying that if you are going to wear the shirts and write on your arms, know what you're talking about or don't do it at all.
