A counterfeit counter-cultural response to the "awareness" of self mutilation, depression, suicide, and despair. You can dress up pity, insincerity, and apathy with tshirts and a magic marker, but to anyone who's been there, and made it through, you are doing them a disservice.
In the book "Sex God" by Rob Bell, the idea that love equals sacrifice is pushed heavily. It's in the context of marriage, but the idea is demonstrated in the Bible through the Cross.
To the Missing World, love is just a weird, or a funny feeling in your pants, but to Christians, to the followers of Christ, love is a sacrifice. If your life does not match up to that, maybe you should rethink how you love others.
Write sacrifice on your arms. And then sacrifice in your life.
