Hey

[Broken.Down]

Hello,

This is my first post here, so lets do whatever you do to new people over and out the way with, i'd post in the introductions thread but i have been browsing around before i registered and feel like a member already.

I don't know what im hoping to achieve from this post, probably some advice.

Life sucks for me right now, up until last thursday i was coping with the pressure by cutting. And then i got news that i have to resit two exams because i only got an A and a B. i thought they were good, but my science teacher says i need an A*. Because the school needs to look good.

So is that all i am. A number? Worthless to society? Because i sure feel like it.

Cutting is like a drug. Good at first, buth then every time you do it after that, it has a weaker effect and leaves you feeling worse and worse.

Thats why if you dont self harm, and are reading this. I warn you, don't ever. EVER. do it! Its awful.

Well i probably look like a right fool now. Anyways awesome forum, i hope to keep using it.

Thanks

Welcome, and thanks for sharing. Cutting is a very bad habit, and it can often feel that you cannot stop. But you can, and must. There are other ways to express yourself, with your words. Please tell someone you're doing this, and get to a really goos therapist. therapy is like oxygen, it's an unbelievable experience (my dad is a shrink, and anyone who has the priviledge to work with him must be very lucky!).

You know, this probably doesn;t need to be said, but any teacher who actually makes you retest for the benefit of the school, and tells you this as the reason, is a real jackass. Why gove them the satisfaction of actually being frustrated or violated? Laugh at them. And ace the test.

tell a trusted adult about your cutting. Get to someone who can really help. You seem too good to lose.

Broken.Down: are you talking about A-levels? A and B are already really good.
I suppose that because you don't have to resit the third one that you got an A* on it. Don't worry about it! I totally agree with IAMSAM that "any teacher who actually makes you retest for the benefit of the school, and tells you this as the reason, is a real jackass".
Hope that helped.
