To Write Love On Her Arms Day!! Nov. 13

Unread postby rockedbritt » 12 Nov 2008 18:47

I don't know how many of you have heard, but tomorrow is the national To Write Love On Her Arms day. To spread the word of love and hope world wide, simply write "Love" on your arm be creative and make sure to give a good answer to anyone who asks "Hey, why did you write love on you arm?"

More info...
On November 13 write LOVE on your arm in big letters. Be creative spread the word. This is for all the survivors and all the innocent. All of the people who are hurting and who think that suicide is the only way they can turn. Also, don't forget to donate so all of the kids in need can get the help that they deserve.

As someone who suffers from depression and has struggled with suicidal thoughts, i think this is an absolutely wonderful idea. I would do it once a month if it meant raising awareness on the dangers and how severe this disease really is. Depression and suicide have an impact on everyones life, whether it's through having depression, or knowing someone who suffers from the disease or knowing someone who has committed suicide. It's such a simple thing to do. If you can dress up for spirit week at your school, i think you can take the time to write LOVE on your arm. Its time to stand up and get the word out. Maybe someday there will be a cure for this, instead of just a treatment that could potentially make it worse. It takes just thirty seconds to write four letters. I challenge you to stand up and speak out!
I think some people are confused about what this is. All you have to do is literally write LOVE on your arm to show support. Maybe even donate money or time at your local suicide hotline. When someone asks... 'Why is that on your arm?' You can spread the word about depression and suicide. For some reason in our society, depression and suicide are still taboo topics that a lot of people want to keep quiet. But i think that everyone needs to start talking about it. Help is out there, and by keeping quiet we're only hurting the people who need the help. So speak up, and speak out

http://www.TWLOHA.com
Check out the Site. and see the story that started it all.

If you said, “wtf is this” Refer to Article 1.
If you said, “what do I do?” Refer to Article 2.
If you said, “wth, it’s to write love on HER arms, im a guy” Refer to Article 3.
If you said, “where is this” Refer to Article 4.
If you said, “isn’t this suppose to be near valentines day?” Refer to Article 5.
Or, go to http://www.TWLOHA.com or read the top :P

A1: This is a variation of what the actual organization TWLOHA does, the purpose is to raise awareness for depressed teenagers. To know what you can do to support this cause, refer to A2.
A2: Simple, write love on your arms, hopefully someone will say, “hey, why did you write love on your arms?” You say, “I am a part of a movement in where I am the self-promotion of this organization, it is to show that I care about those who are having a rough time.” Maybe someone who is going through something will see you with this, and you may just brighten their day
A3: The organization and this event are a little bit different, the title comes from the story listed on the website, feel free to check it out if you want to know the story!
A4: Any part of the world you can write love on your arm in :D
A5: Yes, it normally is if it is run by the organization TWLOHA, however, this is not.

Thank you for sharing this. I should be able to get away with having "LOVE" written across the back of my hand at work tomorrow (I usually wear long sleeves at work.)

*pulls marker out from desk drawer* DONE!

This is great! I hope I can get my point across accurately when someone asks me! I do know about TWLOHA and absolutely love the organization and their mission, but I don't think I've ever had to explain it before... I'll let you know how it goes.


Hey, it's gonna be okay. Hey, we're gonna laugh at this one day.

Thanks for posting this. I didn't know about it either.
I had to write LOVE on the back of my hands as well (long sleeves/work).
And I'll change into my TWLOHA shirt after work.
I'm a huge supporter!

I did write "LoVe" on my hand today and surprisingly, only one person asked me about it. *shrug* It felt good to do it anyways. :)

I'm getting a tattoo of TWLOHA, I just haven't figured out a design yet.

Amazing cause, of course. I know that I myself went through depression, and that I know a number of people that have too.

I'd write it on my hand, but I'm only spending an hour and 50 minutes at college today, and that's all I'll be outside of the house for. xD;
