It may not even be that,it may just be a bad case of the blues,but what leads me to thinking it's more of depression is the cutting thing.But please don't worry I'm not here to judge you!! I'm not ashamed to admit that I myself had a bad case of depression right around that same time,age 14. It's not uncommon at all. I think that it's pretty hard to adjust to high school from junior high.It's a whole new pace,and you may be meeting a bunch of new people,as well as meeting new teachers,being in a new building,etc.You're really adjusting to a whole new schedule and school life.First things first-cutting yourself is NEVER the answer!! You're not gonna disappoint anyone!You are your own worst enemy.Cliche,I know but true!Everything you said is so familiar feeling to me!! If you'd like to IM me,and talk about this,so it's more personal and not posted on here,IM me on AnGeLbAbY51529! Hope to hear from you soon hun!! :) [ ShOrTnSwEeT42094's advice column | Ask ShOrTnSwEeT42094 A Question ]
