Becca,
I'm 13/f and am in 8th grade. I'm addicted to cutting myself and everyday my friends ask to look at my wrist. I say no but then they pull it and start looking at it. They don't understand how I feel. I don't like anyone knowing. I have another friend who does the same thing but she understands me completley. But my other friends start slapping me and asking me y i do it. I don't want to tell them and I really don't know y I do. I know part of it is b/c of a previous relationship. I don't know what to tell my friends if i should tell them to leave me alone and ignore them all the time or what. I've tried to stop b4 but I just can't!!! I tell my friends that its a way of hurting myself b/c i believe that im not good enough for anybody b/c of my previous relationship! I don't know what to do! PlZ help!
