Seriously? You're really going to try and justify getting fast food by using a discount? That's pathetic. If you can't afford to spend a few extra dollars on a meal that isn't going to kill you, then you have bigger problems than I can help you with.

Yes, self harm can take many forms. For example, sometimes people harm themselves by drinking too much, or by engaging in risky behavior. However, self harm is always a choice, and it's always possible to choose not to harm oneself.
