TWLOHA

A few years there was a girl who was terribly depressed. She carved f*** up on her arm. This was due to depression she felt because of the life around her. She found an outlet with cutting, one outlet that led down to a sad future. One day a group of friends took marker and wrote love ontop of the scares. That is how the group To Write Love On Her Arms started.

This organization, started by teens, works to fight depression and the side effects such as suicide. Most teens have no where to go when dealing with depression, atleast that is how they feel. twloha gives teens someone to talk to because of the way they reach out. The group organizes events and shows such as concerts where teens can go and congregate with those fighting the same problems as they.They began selling shirts with a logo Twloha to help pay for treatment of the girl who felt had nothing left. They now work to raise funds to help all those who are in need. They have blogs for people to talk to and as stated before they reach out at different events. They are taking the steps to help others in need

Depression is getting worse and worse everyday and it is mostly teens who are being effected. The biggest problem is that they feel they have no where to turn too. This organization gives those teens that person to talk to.

  1. Depression is becoming worse and worse everyday. I believe that teens today have the toughest time trying to cope with todays pressure's. With this organization i believe it will give teens all over our country a better understanding of how to deal with their depression. Not many teens today have a person to talk too, and by promoting this organization i believe that it will give teens the help they need to be treated

  2. I think that TWLOHA is a great source to help others that suffer depression. It lets people talk to each other and trade knowledge and help. Cutting is a problem, and TRLOHA is a great way to help people get over it and get help with their problems. Most of these people, teens, are depressed and feel alone; TWLOHA helps people feel like they have someone, a friend. It helps treat depression and get help for those suffering from depression, changing the lives of many people.
    I feel that TWLOHA is a good thing doing a good job, it can really help people. It should be something that is more known about and told to people seeking help with depression. This is, I feel, something that will be around for a while and only get better. Perhaps it can, one day, be a major help for treating depression for many people.

  3. I've heard of the organization of To Write Love on Her Arms, and I think that it sends out a great message of hope. I think that TWLOHA tells all of the victims of depression that help can be reached, and that they are never alone. This organization is important for people who find that they don't have the full support of their family and friends to reach their full potential of health. TWLOHA is important because it tells a true story of a victim who found help, and it proves that recovery is possible.
