I actually have cut, somewhere, havent the foggyiest why.
is "The Luckiest Girl in the World" about the ballerina?

[Luves Everything x]

A couple of John Green's books use it, but it's not really essential to the story line.

As far as just self-harm, I have...

Willow, by... err... let me go get the book.

Julia Hoban. That's ALL about a girl's story of self-harm, her method of coping when she got in a car crash with her parents in the car and she survived, they didn't.

I also have Suicide Notes by Michael Thomas Ford, telling about a teenager's stay in a psychiatric ward after a suicide attempt by cutting.

Lol, if there's a fiction book about someone with psychiatric problems, I have it. I buy them right of the bat when I see them XD

EDIT: Jo beat me to Willow :P

It's about a skater. :)

EDIT: I really want to read Willow and Suicide Notes. I have them on hold at the library.

Willow was great, a really sweet story, it was what I needed at the time. A story like that I could relate to, that ends on a happy, optimistic note. I read it when I was supposed to be working in school last year. :whoops:

I haven't actually read Suicide Notes. I have shelves of books I haven't read, just because I don't really have the time to read book after book in my schedule. It sounds like a good read though :P

EDIT: Lady Injury is out. I haven't read it yet, no, but definitely check into it because the gal who wrote it is brilliant. It's actual excerpts from her journal.

cut (which was already mentioned) and one about suicide more than self harm is crash into me by albert borris i found both books very good
