Hi, I wanted to make this for people who are trying to stop but are struggeling .If you are struggeling to stop you can come here when you get the urge to talk about it and keep your mind off cutting.

Im going to start by telling my story.

I come for a large family and Im also a twin . My twin is a major pain in the arse.We have been forced to share everything down to a bed at one point . Being constantly around her and talking to it has gotten to a point where I can't stand the thought of being around her. When she's sick even if she's faking it my mother and father would jump through hoops for her but theu don't gibe a shit unless I'm close to deaths door. Being ignored by my family got to me and Stress of my friends making mean comments about how I look and eat along with falling behind in subject struggeling to sleep and failing almost all my tests caused me to become confused and upset.I became detatched from my friends that I've known for almost eleven years . On my 15th birthday I began cutting . At the beginning they were only small. As time went on they got bigger and deeper. One night I was alone in the house and I cut a little too deep. It took a while for the blood to stop and I started to get light headed. When my mother came home she commented on how pale I was and complained of how if I did more than just sitting and playing on my phone I wouldn't be as pale. Cutting that night scared me and I didn't do it in almost a month and a half
though it was very hard. Last week I completed my house exams and got my summer holidays. I have gotten bored and I had nothing to keep my mind off my cutting. In the last week I have cut 8 times on my hips where it is easier to hide and tonight before writing this one time very deep on my wrist. The scars and cuts are hard to hide from people during the summer and I really want to stop. Thinking about this and writing it made me realise why I really started in the first place. Up until now I just did because I was frustrated and confused. Talking about it really those help. Why don't you try?

i hate it when people do this it makes me sad. i may only be 14 but i almost cry when i hear young teens like you who are in that part of there life. what u need is to find something/some1 to get your mind of it. and i know how u feel about the bullying in school. no1 knew who bad it was for me untill they found me trying to kill my self and my note. things are bad for alot of people at the mounment in the world. the world is falling apart. the difference is i couldnt cut my self quick and painless for me. i feel sorry for evey1 like us. 1 time i said i was nazi just so they would have something else to bullying me about.

I know Conor ,being bullied makes me feel disconnected and different from other in my class and around school. What makes it worse is the person making the comments is one of my best friend and didn't know she was hurting people until everyone ignored her and one person told her ho.w we felt . She's stopped doing it to others but she still sometimes does it to me. It also feel like she trys to keep my other friends away from me. But I'm out of school for three months now and it feels good to be away from it all

It's really great that you're looking for help want to stop by yourself.
You need to keep yourself occupied, whenever you get the urge get going with something to take your mind off it. You've said writing it all down helped, could you keep a notebook/journal where you just write what you're feeling? Other things that you could try are writing stories/poems, drawing, painting, music, reading, running or exercise, cooking. Anything that you enjoy to do can become a distraction, just spending time with people and not being left on your own can help. VT is here to support you as well so should you feel like you're slipping you always have us to fall back on, just remember that you're not alone.

Over here we finish school at the end of May and don't go back until September . So I get three months off from school. :)

Thanks for the help MyOblivion. I enjoy drawing and painting and they have helped in the past. At this stage I really want to stop. I went through a really bad depression a while back and didnt cut then so I really want to stop now to get on with my life.♥♡
