The sphynx

Don't be alarmed this frightful looking creature is not out to hurt you. This is the Sphynx cat, Isn't it gorgeous?

Well to begin, i can tell you're thinking Why is it hairless? 

The Sphynx appears to be a hairless cat, but it is not truly hairless. The skin texture resembles that of chamois leather. It may be covered with Wellus hair. Because the Sphynx cats have no pelt to keep them warm they huddle up against other animals and people. They even tend to cuddle up and sleep with their owners under the covers.

Even though these felines look scary, doesn't mean they can't be loved.

Never judge a book by its cover applies to these adorable cats.

Don't you go off thinking that hey i'm going to buy a hairless cat cause they look easier to take care of, WOAHHH! calm down, these cats are high maintenance when it comes to medical and grooming issues. You really have to be careful with these kitties if you're going to own one. For example, they have to be bathed every week, you cant have them out in the sun too long because they will get a sunburn, and you should cover them up when its cold outside.

These cats look easy to care for but no. You have to be very careful with them. 

And on the bright side, they're adorable, why wouldn't you want them

Self-harm and Derpression

A tricky subject that usually isn't tackled but Iv'e spent 2 days reading about this. Being a victim of this life-style I wouldn't need much research to tell you about it. Depression and self-harm can split you away from your friends and family and no one comes out of this feeling proud and amazing. I will admit that it is a struggle that a lot of people go through. Depression is most likely seen in middle class families, men over 35 and women over 40. While self-harm is seen in 23 percent of teenagers and 38 percent of young adults. Self-harm is a very dangerous act committed by teens which is brought on by depression and could possibly lead to suicide later on in their life. The emotional toll that this leaves behind in families and friendships is crucial. Some teens snap out of it and some don’t. Not only is it dangerous but the scars you are left behind with are with you for the rest of your life. In the articles, they say that self-harm and depression can be treated and to be honest, that is a lie. It’s up to you alone to stop. Nothing is worth you tearing up your skin and making yourself bleed. People are there for you and will always be there to help you with anything you have to say, but it’s all up to you to stop.
