Question Posted Saturday January 15 2005, 7:28 pm

Hi, I'm 13 years old, and i recently started cutting. Don't think " I'm a physco Freak " or whatever you want to call me. My Friend introduced me into it. She said it really helps. so one day i was really angry, i was crying and all, and i cut all up and down on my arm/wrist. To me, i felt better, but just the next day it hurted. From then on, i have been cutting myself all the time when i am mad. the last time i did was actually last night. I use " Scissors , Razors , Saftey Pin , or any sharp objects round the house " . my mom saw my arm by acident, and i told her i fell on a side walk. well my friends are so worried about me. they think im ganna end up killing myself, because i almost did. i really do hate my life even if i have friends and a boyfriend. i JUST hate it, and i think sometimes i was just a mistake, that i ruin other people lives. well i dont know, if i should continue, and and my friends upset, or not, and stay here. I DONT KNOW?! its just really hard to stop though, cuz im so addicted to it. EHH` . what should i do ? thanks . if you wanna i.m. me on AIM ; BlinkBabex33 .. or you can email me ; BlinkBabex33@comcast.net

Just start cutting your legs, where no one can see. Because if you do it on your arms that means your just doing it for attention. And what the fuck does you 'kinda getting raped' have to do with anything, are you just trying to get more attention? Wawawa go cut yourself more you little bitch.

Omg, your friend INTRODUCED you to it? You don't need friends like that. Any friend who encourages you to try and kill yourself is not worth the time of day. You both need help (not being mean, being serious), before this gets way out of hand. And you really need to tell someone else about the whole rape thing. A counsellor would never tell your parents - their sessions are confidental.
BTW, you should never cut just because you're angry. Take it out on your cushions or something, but not yourself. Being angry is not excuse to try and kill yourself. Anger ends. Depression takes a lot longer than an hour or so to die down. Depression I could understand, but anger...? I am so sorry if I sound judgemental at all in this but...God...I'm shocked. I never thought anyone could be that sick as to 'introduce' their friend into cutting.
Blessed Be,

You should really quit that because if you really do kill yourself think about everyone else around you you'd be hurting. Your friends said they were worried about you that means they care about you. If your mom or dad were yelling at you for doing something when you cut that kinda means they care too because most of the time when parents yell at their kids they're trying to keep them out of trouble. If you cared about everyone around you that cares you would quit cutting asap.

well, dont hate your life- i mean just about every teenager has been through that. and so have i! and ive wanted to die too, although i never cut, i had (have) plenty of friends that did (do) cut. And i always get scared that one of them may actually kill them self. I mean i understnad that it may help and all but in the long run it doesnt.
Think about this...You may not realize it, but it's 100% true.

1. At least 2 people in this world love you so much they would die for you.

2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.

3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.

4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.

5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.

6. You mean the world to someone.

7. If not for you, someone may not be living.

8. You are special and unique.

9. Someone that you don't even know exists, loves you.

10. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.

11. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you most likely turned your back on the world.

12. When you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably won't get it, but if you believe in yourself, probably, sooner or later, you will get it.

13. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.

14. Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know

Well I sure hope that i helped- leave me a post on my page if you have any more questions about anything!

I used to cut. I know how you feel. But what seems to have happened to you, is you've gotten addicted to it. What you should do, Is talk to someone, anyone. Find a good friend that you trust to talk to about it and tell them why you think you cut, and your feelings about everything.

Dont think about killing yourself. Think about the people you love who have impacted your life. Parents, boyfriend, friends. Think about how they would feel if you were gone.

What I want you to do, is try to stop. Instead of cutting, do something else, such as talking to someone or writing it down. Make goals for yourself. Try not to cut for 1 month. See how you do.

Hope it helps.

Hello dear. I don't think youre a "psycho freak" or anything like that, because I went through the same exact thing. Although my mom did find out about my cutting and sent me to therapy. I honestly do not regret anything I did. After I stopped cutting I realized that if I didn't cut, then everything would've probably built up and I might've killed myself. So, in my opinion, cutting saved my life.
Cutting isn't the easiest thing to quit. Although it's best if you do quit, for obvious reasons. You said you were addicted. I was too. I quit during the summer, and I still get urges.
I know you don't want to hear this, but I think you need to talk to someone. Whether it be your parent, or a good friend, or you could even go to therapy and get help by yourself.
If you don't want to talk to someone like that, you can always IM me, and I'll listen. Or you don't have to. My screenname is persephone485.

Good Luck hun <33

What ever you do dont kill yourself. If you want to talk to a school conceler try to figure out if they will tell your parents or not. If they do find a friend who is reliable and talk to her about it. I think you should stop cutting yourself take away all your sharp objects and when ever you feel like cuting just scream into a pillow or kick a soccer ball or something. And dont worry things will get better. I know it seems helpless now but they will. Your have a family, friends and a boyfriend and they all love you so much. So think if you killed your self or continued cutting your just not hurting yourself you hurting them too. If you ever need anything at all you can talk to me on my advice site. And hang in there! <3 American Girl

Hey I know where you coming from i was on the cutting thing before... Its not good at all I learned after i stopped or atleast stopped for the most part... No one knows about my cutting myself but ya know i guess there about 2! I wish I had never started... I've went from doing it when im mad to barely doing it at all...Anyways seeing a counciler will help... Actually legally without ur permission I believe your school counciler cant tell you parents unless she/he thinks you have an ammidet suicide risk... And I wouldnt consider that rape but its more like molestation... But about that just try to never let it happen again... I know that sucky advice about that but you dont want to start something that big with ur cutting problem bc ya it will get very stressful and then ull end up cuttn more. just try not to go over to that friends house for a little while...

lildiamyn_69 answered Saturday January 15 2005, 8:18 pm:
Well, I can partly relate. When I almost had a nervous breakdown, I scratched my arms to focus on that pain instead of the emotions I was trying to get through. Then it kinda became a habit. Just for a little, while, because I knew I couldn't keep doing it. So I cried. Cried all my heart out and threw things and fought people whenever I got the urge just so I wouldn't do it. It helped me, but I really hope it will work for you.
Also, you shouldn't hate your life. I used to hate it, but when one of my close friends died(he killed himself) I started realizing how precious life is, and you cant avoid the downs of it. But I love just being able to wake up in the morning and being able to just live! You have got to get that same additude. Find God if you haven't already. Trust me if everything else doesn't work, he will. I hope I helped. You have got to let me know how you're progressing. Yahoo: lildiamyn_69 Keep in touch!

Babigurl answered Saturday January 15 2005, 8:01 pm:
well-- I know the situation you're in. actually I sort of know first hand. when it first starts. you think of it as nothing and just feel like it helps. and honestly I think it does, but then it becomes like an addiction. you need to do it to feel good or satisfied. it becomes a regular thing . but at that point you need help. whether it's just from a friend a parent or professional help. I was lucky I got help and support from friends. I'm not saying that I've completely stopped. I still get occasional urges.. & I know at first my friends hated me doing it. they even deserted me. but they started to understand and even accept it. or at least deal with it. and now they just love and support me. & this whole lying to your mom and making excuses.. she knows the truth. she's denying it to herself . but just don't tell a teacher or counselor if you don't want your parents to know. they will tell them. they have to. so I don't know. just don't kill yourself what ever you do. you weren't a mistake you were a blessing and god put you on earth for a reason. and I know it wasn't to cut up your body and kill itself. I'm going to tell you something my friend told me "hurting yourself is never the answer. it may help at the time. but in the long run your hurting yourself in so many more ways then you know. and every time your cutting yourself. its not just your arm your cutting. your cutting so many other people. and your not cutting their arm. your cutting their heart. your cuts will heal and you will have scars. but hearts are so much more fragile and do not heal as easily" I hope I helped IM me if you ever need to. just know it may help for your parents to know. they could get you some one to talk to. just to let everything out. or if your like me. they will make your life a living hell. I guess it just depends
