worried

[Wakoabs]

Just wanted to express my concern/ feelings

We was in a lesson and my friends behind me was carving words into there arms with a compass (I think thats the right one) not hard but lightly . but one had done it before.
I didn't say and thing cos i'd feel like such a hypocrite cos i cut and just the other day one of them called me an emo child ,joking, becasue they don't know i have self harmed. I just worry for them

But i dunno just wanted to let it out :/:confused:

Sweetheart, not everyone has the ability to help others well. Everyone can attempt to help but some actually do. Are you ready to help? Is that what you plan to do? Can you? Will you be able to cope with their problems as well as your own?

Sometimes, when we try to help, we end up falling into the pit-hole they're in, too. Sometimes it's better to leave them to cope with it on their own. Especially when you have your own pain to deal with. If you do decide to help, empathise but do not take on their pain. Their pain is theirs and yours is yours. When we take on the pain of others, we add it to our own. And that isn't going to help anyone.

The fact is, most kids who cut don't do so forever. Most -do- find their way. Just because you cut doesn't mean you're suicidal, I'm sure you know that. Put yourself first. Because there's no point in helping if you can't. Most people can't deal with their own pain, much less anyone else's.

On another note. It's great of you to care :)
