I Cut Myself
I hate my life and I have a lot of problems. My dad left me when I was 3 years old and he lives in Tenneessee with his girlfriend and my half brother. I only get to see them once a year on Christmas. My half sister lives about 45 mins away from me and I only get to see her about every other weekend and on some holidays. My mom lives about 30 mins away from where I live with her boyfriend. They are getting on my nerves because she wants me to move in with them and I don't want to be away from my friends or switch schools again. I live with my grandparents. I have gone through a lot these past 2 or 3 years. I moved away from all my friends in the 3rd grade (Im in 7th grade now), but my best friend changed to the same school as me. Then She moved About 2 and 1/2 hours away in the 4th grade and I didn't even know untill about 2 or 3 days after she left and I hardly ever get to see her. Also school is really stressing me out. A few days ago I cut myself and im thinking about doing it angain. I snap rubberbands on my rist and I get bruses and scars from it. I am thinking about going goth but im probably not. I just have a really bad life. I was wondering if anyone could give my any advice on how I can try to make it better. It's ok if you can't i know it's probably hard to give advice like this. Please and thanks.

Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
I understand where your comming from! but please for your own health and mental state dont start cutting yourself. you will regret it when you get older. the scares never heal or go away. its an additction you dont want to get into. try writting poems to express your self, talk to your best friend about it. make a box and keep it near you when you are in those state of minds when you want to cut, have thing syou like to do in it...coloring books and crayons, anything to get your mind off it...just to wind down. the rubber band is a good idea as well.

Don't cut yourself again, please- if you hit an vein by accident, it is likly you would die. Next time you get an urge to cut, harm something else, like cut an orange or punch a pillow. Love yourself and think of all the other people that love you- your family, no matter how often you see them, your friends, ditto....no matter how bad you may think your life is there are so many people that care about you- even one who has posted an answer to this question! If you did accidently kill yourself think of how they would feel. It would be best to tell your grandparents or parents next time you see them but if you really can't, speak to your school counsellor or e-mail the Self Harm Alliance on support@selfharmalliance.org. It could save your life. Also, try to have no worries or think of anything negitive for a bit- it can make you really happy when you are acting positive.
Good Luck,

look. dont hurt yourself. what does that do? does it make your life better? NO! so stop. you may have some bad things in your life but whenever you get depressed think of your grandparents! they obviously love you, to have taken you in. and if your mum keeps pushing you to move in with her just tell her straight that you are happy where you are. and about your best friend... 3 years ago my best friend left... really far away as in a 6 hour flight... and i didn't know. a week later she still hadn't come to school and i was worried (her mum had just died) i tried calling her but no luck. she called me and told me her dad was an ass and she is living with her godparents. 2 weeks ago she moved back, she lives with me now and we are the bestest of friends. so dont worry. if you are really that close then you will keep in contact and be together one day. if not then there ARE plenty of people out there. you will always have people in your life you just need to try to be their friends. good luck. keep me updated and if you need to talk e-mail me at angiemills88@hotmail.com

Get perspective. Your life isn't as bad as you make it out to be.
You have family. You should cherish the fact that you're capable of seeing them. Even if it isn't quite as often as you'd like.
You're also very young. You have yet to experience so many things and the fact that you're reacting this way to your life means that you may be quite a bit more sensitive than others to very trivial things.
The only thing I can tell you to do is to see an adult. Your school counselor, a teacher, a friend's parent. Whomever you feel the most comfortable with.
One of the most effective solutions to depression is verbalizing the way you feel with someone else; having someone you know and trust give you advice.

think about it. this will proble be hard to understand for you, but it rele DOES NOT help to cut yourself. if you keep doing it, you will lose friends, get talked about [people will say its because you want attention], and no guys will want to date a depressed girl. so please get out of this before it starts. i have a friend that started cutting in the 7th grade and now we`re in 9th grade and she still does it. its like a habbit once you start. so please end it before it starts. i dont know if my friend will ever stop cutting herself. its really sad, but her life could be a lot more happy and cheerful, if she just stopped cutting, but after that long of doing it... its not that easy. so please dont start to cut. i did it once and im glad i stopped. its not fun. hope i helped.
