#DearInstagram #IAmNotAshamed
There is another hashtag going, I think it’s #dontcensormyskin
Keep enjoying life, and keep making memories x
#youcantcensormyskin
Absolutely! It’s so wrong! My story was deleted because I had scars on my hand 🙄 we can’t sensor our bodies for the rest of our lives! 😡
This should be #1 on trending
Just Watching so true
I have literally reported photos and accounts with up-close shots of new/fresh self harm, and instagram has repeated DENIED the reports, and left them up. Wtf? How can they take down your photos, and not the other reported? I completely agree with you, and it really upsets me. It is inspiring to me to see photos of you having a great time. It is disgraceful for instagram to take down these photos, which tell others that they too can have fun times despite a difficult past.
I'm so glad you're speaking out about this in a video. Keep staying true to yourself and advocating for mental health. You are absolutely amazing and inspiring, Marie xxxxx
Literally same! I report posts that are graphic up close purposely taken images of fresh self harm, yet I've had holiday photos removed from my Instagram because my scars are on show. Guess what got removed...my photos. The photos I reported are still there.
No one sees how much courage it takes to wear our scars out😭 thank you sm for this ily💕💕
This is so not fair
Hope you are okay Marie ❤️
Someone had to say it. It's so dumb to censor scars. Also you look so good in the pictures that got deleted ❤❤
This topic has honestly really upset and angered me lately. I've seen photos of a new mother with her baby being deleted because she happened to have self harm scars. She re uploaded and it was blurred. She also posted stretch marks...STRETCH MARKS and that was blurred. Completely sends out the wrong message and adds to shame and stigma. Thanks for speaking out. We need to fight this. #iamnotashamed #youcantcensormyskin
people have scars for many reasons, this is insane.
I think it’s great that you show your scars, it shows is that we can get through it and we shouldn’t be ashamed of your scars❤️ your amazing marie❤️
I love you, proud of you for standing up for what’s right. You go girl 💗💗
this isn’t fair at all❤️❤️i’ve seen and reported so many graphic images of self harm yet nothing has been done???
The fact that IG is trying to delete or sensor anything and everything is ridiculous. Not everyone has had a perfect life, people have scars, they have marks - saying that you are not allowed to show your skin because it is imperfect, is like saying you are not allowed to have a mental illness. You are absolutely beautiful Marie and the strength you have to show your scars, and your survival, so openly should be praised, no sensored. #iamnotashamed #dontsensormyskin
Bloody love this! Scars are forever and we can't spend our entire lives sugar coated. Disgraceful of Instagram to remove the pictures they did. They're triggers everywhere, we have to adapt and learn to get through, or the cycle will never end. SO PROUD OF U FOR ADVOCATING what is a simple right in the mental health community ❤, sending tonnes of love to ya! xx
Thankyou so so much!!! I love you! 💗
marieroseeee You're so welcome! Love u toooooo soooo much!!! 💜
This is so sad, Instagram has taken this too far. People should be able to show their scars without it being an issue. #dontcensormyskin Good on you for reuploading the photos, there is absolutely no issue with them 💕 Marie you’re an inspiration. Xx
i get it, if I saw a picture of fresh cuts I would feel a trigger to do it to myself again and I think triggers are a normal thing as a part of recovery. But scars aren't triggering, seeing other people's scars make me believe that I can do that to, I can heal and live a life beyond self harm. I find it really inspiring to me when people learn to love their scars, this is so so wrong💔x
I remember when it got taken down and I honestly think it's ridiculous. I understand why they do it but these photos are literally fine. I'm glad you're speaking up about this, it's a conversation that needs to happen
Honestly it’s helped me so much to see you having your scars on show, it’s made me so much more comfortable and be alive that I can get through what Ive gone through❤️ instagram got this wrong❤️love you❤️
Honestly Instagram needs to sort there shit out. I’m so done I’ve seen so many of my friends (INCLUDING YOU❤️) have there photos deleted or censored because of having scars it’s disgusting. Instagram is meant to be a place in my opinion for body confidence where you can take photos of yourself when you feel your best. By deleting people’s posts like yours it makes people feel ashamed or embarrassed that a popular social media sight has deemed them offensive. By taking down people’s photos it implies that self harm and your past is something that should be hidden. Therefore, they are encouraging the stigma. Thank you for speaking out👏🏽
thank you for inspiring me to push through hard times and to be more positive, i love you so much xxx
I think you are totally correct! I think that this is adding to the stigma. I think they need more guidelines between self harm and sensitive-content self harm. Like you said. Fresh cuts have no place on Instagram. But healed and taken care of scars in a picture that simply shows someone in a normal situation is simply that. Someone in a happy and normal situation. You said you could edit them out. I think the idea is that if you were to edit it out and have it be a “normal” picture, then it is good. If you edit scars out of a picture and you end up with a picture of a random arm. And only an arm, then the point of the picture is to show those scars. But if you edit scars out of a picture and you end up with something more than a body part, something that has a story and a meaning, then the point of the picture was to tell that story and that meaning, not to show scars. I personally don’t have any pictures with my self harm because I’m too paranoid, but i hope that your campaign works well. And i will definitely try to support it.
Thank you Marie for being someone who is not afraid to stand up for something that deserves attention. You are a beautiful soul. Don’t let this get you down, you are beautiful inside and out. We all love you and we will all support you in whatever you feel you need to do.
For a young woman who still deals with self harm and is on social media, it's hard. I have had my videos from tik tok deleted, pictures from Instagram deleted and I totally agree with you. By deleting or putting a "sensitive content that some might find disturbing" sign on it makes me, and others who have had this happen to them, feel like crap. It makes us feel like we shouldn't wear our arms out. Along with that, I'm kind of mature for my age and have been self harming for years now and it really hurts that such a popular type of media is doing this. I'm with you on this. xo
do they sensor people who have scars for other reasons other than self harm? No, they don’t... need to start practicing what they preach when they say ‘mental health needs to be more understood’🤦🏽♀️
Loved this video, your influence is so powerful💓
My inspiration honestly you’ve helped me a lot , love you💘
I'm sooo with you on this. It took me so many years to go out in public or wear nice things that *happen* to show my scars. I'm finally at peace with them and not paranoid about them being on view. I've found these new guidelines really upsetting in all honesty and it's put me off using Instagram altogether.
thank you for speaking up about this!. I don't think that it's okay what instagram is doing and I fully understand, that you are mad about it. You should be able to enjoy moments in life and capture them without directly being associated with your mental illness. As you already said, you can't get rid of those scars and they are gonna stuck with you until forever and i'm so soo sooo proud of you, for being open about it, for showing your scars and for being stronger than your mental illness. You help a lot of people - including myself- to feel more confident to wear their arms out and to show your self harm scars and to fully accept them. It's nice that some social media sites want to protect us but on the other hand I think it's necessary to break the stigma around mental illness and not to hide it in any way. Because of this behaviour instagram makes it look like we have to be ashamed to have scars and that we aren't as normal as other people around us and that makes me really sad.
Basically long story short any photo that you post from now on will be 'sensored' or 'deleted '. So instagram and other social media wants us to break the stigma around mental health, but when it takes so much just to upload a photo for us. They just end up being deleted and they don't even bother thinking about how much it takes just to upload a photo. Life cannot be censored (don't get me wrong I understand fresh cut and stuff) but how can we show are identify and something huge that we overcomes if it's just 'censured '.
Go on girl... so much respect for you. Love you loads and keep doing what you are doing. It means the absolute world❤️❤️xxx
you’re amazing and so strong! you should be so proud for standing up! love you so much hope you’re doing well❤️❤️
It’s such a slap in the face, we’ve all come so far to overcome self harm and exist without it taking over us, we take photos of ourselves enjoying life and feeling good they’re removed? It’s totally erasing the people who are living breathing proof that there is life after a problem with self harm
I'm not sure how it's possible for you to always upload when I'm doing poorly with my mental health, and it's unbelievable how your videos help me get through and move on from a bad mood. It's like free dbt therapy
i love you so much and it's horrible seeing that this is how the internet treats people with scars. just makes us feel insecure and its honestly not helping anyone. it's understandable to deleted fresh selfharm because that is a serious trigger, but someone can't help having scars! they're there to stick around for a while.. what do they expect us to do?!
This is not fair xx you should be proud to show your scars and seeing you being comfortable with them has helped me a lot 💕 you are beautiful and no one should be ashamed about it xxx
You’re amazing Marie, this is such an important message. Lots of love 💗
Thank you so much for putting light to this. ❤️
Very powerful message delivered by a wonderful powerful woman ❤️ love you Marie
I love you gal. I'm so proud of you for keep going although you face a lot of hard things. as a person who struggles with self harm too, I relate to your videos so much! you are so pretty and strong and I'm really mad about that matter too! I'm so glad finally a person gives importance to this problem while nobody else did! I love you so much ❤️ sending all my love and strength to you xoxo
Wish I was brave enough to be apart of it lol keep doing what ur doing because ur an amazingly positive influence on so many people x
This makes me so mad! Instagram you should be ashamed of yourself for adding to the stigma of mental health.
I’m so sorry this has happened to you ❤️
I couldn't agree more, I've stopped uploading photos of myself to instagram because I hate the process of not only picking a photo where I feel like I look okay, but where my arms and legs look acceptable. I will not allow instagram to make me feel like I need to hide again. We have had to hide that part of us for so long we had to learn not to be ashamed of ourselves who does @instagram think they are
Just started the video and you look beautiful, I hope you’re doing well 💘
Proud of you for standing up! It’s people like this that are still keeping the stigma around mental health alive and it’s not right. Thank u for being u. Lysm xxx
Ooh, I am so sorry that this happened to you. Things have been deleted from my Instagram, too, that I had posted to empower myself. And having them deleted felt so shitty. Instagram's censoring policy can be so discriminatory. Your scars are a part of your body and of your past. You don't have to hide them. Or your illness or your past. It took me so long to share my story and feelings. It's so brave to do that. These kinds of reactions can make it so much harder. It's really not ok.
Cannot believe they chose to delete those photos! They were the most innocent nice photos that obviously weren’t uploaded with the purpose of triggering anyone! I’m glad you made this video ❤️
It’s awful that they have done that but you are so positive and supportive. You’ve come so far please don’t let this get in the way I love you lots . Keep doing great on UA-cam and in yourself xx
Honestly have so much respect for you Marie!! Love u so much 💗💗
Love you! Thanks for standing up for us!
You are so right Marie, man the stigma is so real. I love your hash tag
Marie, it doesn't matter what anyone says, you're beautiful. Our past doesn't define us. People who upload fresh cuts are the ones who deserve to be deleted. These photos show you are strong and beautifully so. You deserve to live your life without being judged for something you don't advocate. It's the opposite; you encourage recovery.
Stay strong, my beautiful Marie.
i was at a party in January and I was wearing a really nice top but it had short sleeves, I took a picture with my friend Sophie and you could see my scars in it, I was so ashamed that I photoshopped the scars off of my arm. After seeing your posts about embracing the scars and loving them I decided to post the raw picture with my scars because it was a moment where I was genuinely happy, and Instagram took it down. It hurts so bad and made me feel like something was wrong with me for harming myself, it was horrible
Thank you so much for inspiring me to keep fighting through the dark days. Love you sm 💗💗💗
Preach! I am so glad you made this video to highlight the unfairness of this issue! Your photos are beautiful and I hope you don’t stop re-uploading them because you have every right to! It’s crazy, I’ve seen a lot worse on instagram that hasn’t been censored at all, so why should the app do it to photos where the self harm is fully healed and barely visible in these photos. Seeing people like you be so confident wearing their scars out, is something that really gives me inspiration, confidence and hope that I too will able to wear my scars out one day. Instagram -this needs to stop! Again thank you for spreading out on this Marie, keep uploading those photos because you are beautiful!💜
You go girl ! Stand up for what you believe in 💓💓💓
Just about to start watching, love you❤️
You're so strong Marie, love you xx
don't let them get you down gorgeous! You're amazing I love you💞

Couldn't agree with you more Marie xx❤️Thank you for putting this out there, I hope instagram listens x
Can’t believe instagram did this! Your photos definitely weren’t triggering, really inspiring to see someone not ashamed of their scars 💕
#IAmNotAshamed so proud of you, we should not be shamed for our bodies ❤️
YOURE SUCH AN ACTIVIST I LOVE IT, I STAND BY YOU 100000% DONT LET THEM SCRUTINISE YOU, YOU KEEP GOING!!!!💗💗💗💗
I love this so much 💕👏🏼 You’re amazing ! Stuff instagram they are obv uneducated on SH
you’ve gots this baby cakes. stay strong.
❤️❤️❤️
this is so so unfair and it hurts to know that instagram do this, we should not be made to feel ashamed of our bodies and our scars, we should be able to have confidence and enjoy our life’s without worrying what others think. i’ve just recently started showing my arms and legs where i have scars after hiding them all for over a year :( i hope your okay and i’m proud of you for speaking out about this
This is so true!!! I love u Marie💘💘
yay! love new videos💘
You go girl! supporting you 100%
Okay I’m a minute in and I’m so sorry that is so wrong, we all support you x
such an important message!❤️
Marie you’re an amazing human being ❤️
It’s appalling that Instagram are censoring content that is completely NOT inappropriate. Self harm scars shouldn’t be seen as “sensitive content” - they aren’t something to be ashamed of. I have seen so many more graphic things in the anorexia recovery community and they are never reported or deleted. This video is so important and brave of you to make. So much love 💖Xx
This is absolutely disgusting, you looked amazing in them pics. Do people really expect you to cover your scars I think you should wear whatever you’re comfortable and confident in 😡 sending you love Marie xx
Well fucking done! This video absolute broke me but at the same time I could not feel more proud of you speaking out! You are incredible
Your channel inspires my channel everyday girl💜
They’re not that bad. You look awesome and beautiful in both photos im glad you’re not ashamed back yourself
I think that showing your scars that's fine. Instagram only wants to show how fabulous things are, but life isn't that way. Just seeing perfect lives can make people feel bad because that isn't their life.
i saw that & was like "girl she is gonna be maddd"
😂😂😂
Your so brave hun, I completely understand, it is not fair
I am well up for this. Posts have been deleted from my account too and it's really annoying me as I'm trying to show different events of my life to those who know me and weren't a part of that event. I'm joining this hashtag! Ur amazing xx
This is rediculous, so wrong! It’s made me so sad. People choosing to show their scars is their choice and it’s amazing that people do that to show they aren’t ashamed - like you! But when the photos get taken down, it’s just teaching people that they have to hide their scars and that it’s a bad thing to show but it’s not. It shows that people got through a very tough time. The people that don’t like to have pictures of self harm on line should just be happy that that person is looking happy now and is still alive. Sending you lots of love Marie, and to anyone else who needs it. 💖💖 #iamnotashamed
Oh sweetheart I am so sorry this has happened on Instagram. It is totally unacceptable. Keep your head held high. Xxxxxxx
you should 110% put this up as an igtv video as well!!
I have no idea how to do that 😂😂😫
marieroseeee I just sent you a DM! my user is olivia.brennann
clicked so fast, love you xx
I think you should be very proud of yourself.
I have lots of scars on my arms & legs too, and i am far away from this Self-confidence....
You encourage me!
Haven’t even watched the video yet and already liked ❤️
You've addressed all the important points, great video
So proud ❤️ I hope I can someday participate in #IAmNotAshamed I’m not really prepared now, but someday :) thanks for helping so many people and we’re all so proud to see you standing up for your beliefs and for what is right 💖
enough is enough instagram. Let people be proud of where they've come and how far they are now. Don't put someone down when things are looking up - self harm doesn't mean you have to hide your arms for the rest of your life. When i'm walking in the street I don't carry around a censored sign am I?
I have scars on my face from self harm and I’m sorry to hear this. I used to pick when I was stressed. I would feel awful if someone deleted a photo of my face because I literally have a chunk of my nose missing:(
Your amazing be strong 🖕🏼to insta, if anything your pictures with your scars out not that they are the main focus on your pictures because you are literally stunning but noticing them and how comfortable you are in your own skin gives me hope and courage that one day I’ll be comfortable in my own skin just like you are and not feel the need to hide them anymore. You do you ♥️#notashamed #beproudofyourbattle x
Well said Marie!
I don’t know if anyone else has seen this too, but the instagram page for DollsKill frequently upload men and women with self harm scars and they are also put as ‘sensitive content’ it’s just so wrong we shouldn’t have to hide our bodies!!
So Instagram let's people post photos of themselves almost naked in a bikini and doesn't care but takes down fully clothed people which happen to have scars! So ridiculous 😡😡😡😡
Thanks Marie for uploading this video it needed to be said because Instagram idle fucking taking the pis right now love you
❤️❤️❤️
#IAmNotAshamed
You are such an inspiration
I fully agree with you, no one should be ashamed of their scars we are told to love ourselves and not be ashamed but how can we when Instagram deletes posts with healed scars, I don’t understand it either
