I'm going to start

[Shaymin rox]

I'm going to start cutting now I did t once before but my parents saw (it was on my wrist and I havE all short sleeved shirts now life in 7th grade is just too much for me to deal with people shun me for being gay and all I want is a boy to like me but he said he wants to to die I told him I'm going to start cutting and he may get what he wants god I don't know why I feel so depressed at school most of the time now I just cry on the counselors office

Sorryfor the rant but I just had to get this out but I've decided not to cut deep enough to bleed to death so the boy I like doesn't get what he wants!!!

Think about this for a moment.

Cutting may seem like the right idea. It may seem like you can bleed away the problems and that it's the one thing you can control. Is it?

What about when you can't go for a few moments without wanting to cut? The solution to everything turns into cutting. I remember telling myself this: "I can hide it under my watch. I'll keep it in the same place and no one will ever know. Just this once."

I now have over a thousand scars on my body. It is NOT worth it. I can't even show my boyfriend my arms and legs. I die from heat in the summer because I have to cover up. My main concern of the day isn't how my hair looks but does my kilt cover the cuts before I go to school.

Please don't. Flick an elastic band against your wrist. Draw, write, sing an angry song, talk here. Find a creative and positive outlet for your depression.

*hugs*

Exactly as JoJo said. It's not worth it, just once is never just once.

With the whole school thing, things will get better. They do :)

With the boy thing. There are other boys out there in the world :)
:hug: Cutting isn't worth it at all. You don't want to deal with the scars for the rest of your life. They're embarrassing and people always question them. They're not worth it.
Try singing, drawing, writing. Anything besides cutting.

I wish I had read that when I started. It's harsh but so true. It's a good reminder, even now.

That's how everyone starts. Just one cut, just one. But it's never one. It gets worse, it always does and it's not worth it. The shame of the scars is burden you'll carry forever and if there one person out there who we can stop before they get addicted to cutting then it would bring a smile to the both of us. Stay strong and never give up on happiness. We ALL deserve it. I'm here if you be wana talk <3

Go and look at some of the other threads and posts made in this forum. Look at how many other people's lives it's messed up, how much so many people here rely on it.

I always look back and wonder how my life would be different if i'd never self harmed. I wouldn't have any scars, I probably wouldn't have overdosed which believe me was one of the worst experiences of my life. So many things would have been different and better.

It's not worth it. You just need to look in this forum to realise that. You have a choice now, you might not do later. Think about it.
