Alot of teens and even older people do this to show support to the organization "To Write Love On Her Arms" (TWLOHA). TWLOHA is a non profit organization that exists to help people who struggle with, depression, Self Injury(ex. Cutting, Burning, anything that consists of hurting oneself on purpose) Addiction (Ex, Alcohol, drugs, etc) And suicide. TWLOHA is meant to encourage, inform, inspire and also to invest directly in treatment. The name is meant as an idea that we can write "love" overtop of our scars (both physical and emotional).

I quote from their vision

"You need to know that rescue is possible, that freedom is possible, that God is still in the business of redemption. We're seeing it happen. We're seeing lives change as people get the help they need. People sitting across from a counselor for the first time. People stepping into treatment. In desperate moments, people calling a suicide hotline. We know that the first step to recovery is the hardest to take. We want to say here that it's worth it, that your life is worth fighting for, that it's possible to change. "

Teens write "love" on their arms as a reminder that hope and love are real and possible. This is an amazing organization, I suggest you find more information at twloha.com
