Question Posted Monday July 25 2005, 5:48 pm

okay well this guy i really like is going out with the prettiest girl in my grade. He isn't a hottie or anything, but I've liked him since 6th grade, and I'm in 8th. The night she asked him out (at a school dance) I was going to work up enough nerve to ask him. I feel like, if I asked before her, he would have said yes; only because we are so close. I was up practically everynight i saw or even talked to him, thinking about him. I started cutting myself i liked him so much. I cut myself only to make myself stop thinking about him. But eventually it just got worse. I want to stop cutting myself, and start taking it like a normal person

cutting doesnt solve anything "trust me" so thats just making it worse try dealing with it through like when you get mad blare your radio and clear your mind or running or jogging theres lots of things but cutting isnt one about the guy talk to him and become friends with him like better than yall are and that way when he breaks up with her or vise versa you will be there and maybe you could tell him then that youv liked him and so on hope i helped luv talktome224

No guy is worth you ruining your body over. Please stop cutting yourself, because thsi obviously does not solve your problem. In fact, it si probably making it worse. Try writing in a journal or talking to a close friend that you trust. Maybe that will make you feel better. Plus, look at it this way-you are only in eighth grade. Chances are that girl will run off with someone else when you get to High School. So when she breaks his heart, get yours girl!!

Mkay you DEFINITLY need to stop cutting. Thats horrible and it becomes a horrible habit. No guy is ever worth cutting. You need to tell him how you feel especially since yall are close and he'll probably understand and i'm not sayin that he'll break up with his gf now to go out with you but his relationship isnt gonna last forever so i'm sure you'll have a chance. HOpe I helped =]

You need to stop cutting yourself. If you feel you can't do it alone then tell a close friend have have them try and help you. A guy/girl is no reason to start cutting yourself just to make yourself. Get some help so you can stop. Then when you have that out of your system, then talk to him and see where that can go from there. Good luck and hope this advice helps.

You need to get some help to stop cutting. I'm a former cutter, and trust me, help actually helps. Talk to your parents.
And I know your situation, I started cutting over a guy too. But there were other things in my life going wrong too.
Just talk to your parents or school couselor.

If you need any more advice or info on cutting IM me on AIM: fatalxhaerts

Girl dont be like this you dont need to cut yourself because of some guy, he's not worth it. Cutting yourself will bring you down even worst it hurts you more than anything. I've been in a similiar situation and I'm not going to tell you I know how you feel because I no one can feel the same. Just because that girl he's going out with is the prettiest in your grade doesn't mean anything. I bet she might be good looking, but she might not have the brains or a great personality. Dont give up on this guy if you like him so much. Dont think about the what ifs. Tell him how you feel about him and even if he's in a relationship he should know other people care about him and think about him. Let him know dont keep it in. Hope this helps!!

Teen_Guru answered Monday July 25 2005, 6:29 pm:
Unfortunately such situation is not unheard of; people get so upset on something miserable and they do something drastic. Fist start talking a Good friend you TRUST, open up to him/her, tell them how you feel about This boy, how your handling. You might be surprise how much it will help opening up to others. I know that it’s not easy to open up to other people, but by keeping it side of yourself as you’ve probably realize, will make you go insane (believe me I know what it like to keep feeling like that inside of yourself). If you keep cutting tell you parents (or someone who trust that is an adult) they will be able to locate some professional help that you might need.

I hope this helped. May you conjure your dilemma and find a way to handle future feelings. Please let me know if this help.

cutting is bad, i used to do it too, you are really gonna regret it when your older. so im glad that you wanna stop.
dont dwell on the past, how are you gonna ever see the future?
if you really like him, wouldnt you want him to be happy? no matter what?
try other ways to get him off your mind, go with a few chick friends to the mall or someplace n find guys, and try to meet new people.
even a few website like myspace is a great way for anyone to meet friends/people close to you..
keep your options open. and your mind clear. there might be a great guy with a crush on you, but you dont realize it cause your too worried about this one guy.
when you are upset dont cut yourself, go for a run, or beat up a pillow/teddy bear..or a stress ball, or write poetry or draw. there are much better solutions.

sorry if that seemed a little harsh or snooty. heh, didnt mean to be.
hope you stop cutting soon, and i hope things get better too. =)

This type of thing takes awhile to heal. But what you should do is hang out with some other guys, meet new ones. "There are plenty of fish in the sea." Don't be afraid to find some new boys to like. There are a lot out there that would probably be willing to get to know you. So take advantage of that. This will help you get over the other guy you like. I hope I helped, and good luck.

There's a great article on self-injury found at the site below. It also offers resources for families and friends of cutters, tips on getting help, and treatment options. Please take a minute to look at this site then show it to your parents or another trusted adult.

[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

I would try talking to the guy and telling him your feelings. While it may not get you a date, it will at least let him know you're interested. There's really no way to quit thinking of someone other than giving it time. Removing items that will remind you of him from your surroundings will help. Keep a journal to write your feelings down. It's not healthy to keep your feelings bottled up and writing it down will help get them out.

I hope this helps you. Good luck. I wish you the best.

LETSGO answered Monday July 25 2005, 6:08 pm:
sweetheart, you have NO reason to cut yourself. dont cut yourself because of a boy. its not worth it at all. even if hes GGRREEAATT!! you should always like yourself before liking another person. okay, besides that just talk to him!! im sure if you guys are close enough he will understand.. i mean just take some time. im sure him and his girlfriend will break up soon enough. if shes the "prettiest girl in the grade" then she will end up going out with some other guy soon enough. dont worry hun! you'll get him.
