I found Niki's article "My Experience with Self-Harm"extremely motivating because it is not just telling her story, but it's also motivating others with the same situations to speak out and ask for help. Niki is trying to encourage others by saying "We need help. We need a voice and I am trying to spread the word". Niki's article is reaching out to people with self-harm intentions by saying you are not alone, there is help. You can talk to your parents, friends, and even a therapist. Niki, thank you for sharing your story your self- harm story and for encouraging others to speak out and ask for help.
