Question Posted Tuesday August 16 2005, 10:29 pm

Im 13/ female, and i have been cutting for about 4 years now. I had been doing better, with everything and finally getting over the things that had happened, I stopped seeing my dad which helped alot. At the beginning of this year, my mom sent me and my sister back to live at my dads house. I started getting hit again, and the school called my house a ton of times asking about the bruises. i made up excuses that people eventually just stopped believing and everyone figured the truth. Lately things have been getting really bad again and i've overdosed two times in the past month, and have had to get my stomach pumped. I have been cutting so much more and i hate what it does to my friends when they find out but im at the point where i just cant stop, and i really dont want to its the only thing that helps. i dont know what to do, can anyone help me ?

thanks

Well first of all sweetie, I don't mean to sound like a bitch or any thing, because I can understand that cutting you may make you think that it helps solve your problems, and it brings new pain.. But it really is something that you shouldn't do... You could kill your self from hitting a wrong vain or something... You know, and death is not the answer to any of your problems. Maybe you should see a conuceler... And tell them how you have been feeling. And if your parents are abusing you, you should really tell someone, so that you can be put in a better home or something. If this is what's depressing you, then why don't you tell some one that can help. There are certain people out in the world that are made specifically just for thist kind of stuff!! You know, so please.. Tell someone, and try to stop cutting.. It's very DANGEROUS!!! ok.

Well, I know you have heard this before but it is the truth and you NEED to listen. Go get help. If you can't stop then you need someone to help you stop. Go talk to your mom, and also to your teachers at school. If you can't make yourself stop then the only thing you can do is go to someone that can. You really need to be counseled because even after you stop cutting you are still going to be emotionally and physically damaged from everything that has happened to you in the past. So I seriously suggest you get help from a trusted adult. What you are doing IS NOT a healthy way to handle the pain you are going through in life. So PLEASE get help. If you don't want your friends worrying about you all the time, then come to them and let them support you. Get out of that house and stop living with your dad. What he is doing to you is not right! I was hit when I was younger by my dad, but luckily it wasn't on a daily basis. I know for a fact that if I was still around him today and he treated me like that, that I would be having problems too. So you need to get out of the bad situation that you're in and get help immediately. The longer you wait for help, the better chance you will have from hurting yourself so bad that something really bad will happen. So please take my advice. Don't wait for people to come to you and try to decipher what is going on with you. YOU need to come to them. I wish you the best of luck and I pray that you listen to what I'm saying. You are only 13 and you have a whole lot of life to live ahead. If you need anything just message my inbox back and I will be happy to help.

First of all, I'm sorry this is happening to you at such a young age. This can be a lot to deal with. You need to talk to someone who will listen and do something about the situation. This is enough to put him in jail. And talk to your dad about living permantly with your mom. Good luck! Hope I helped!

omg really you need to try and stop it may feel like it takes away the pain but really it is only making you worse please tell your mother if you live with her or whoever your gardian is but do not cut or overdose any more it is the worst thing for you to do. go to the school counsiling and get some help they are always open. and if your father is hurting you do not make yourself worse by hurting yourself what you need to do is call the police or some kind of authority that can help you with your problems but please whatever you do do not hurt yourself anymore then you already are. because if you dont stop not it could get much worse or even fatal. i really really hope my advice helped you out but you need to tell someone gather up some courage and help yourself.

I was watching this one show on TLC and it was a show when this one girl was getting a tatoo to cover up her scars from cutting. She told the show that she regretted it so much and wished she had never done it.

First off, I'm sorry you're going through this right now. I know it doesn't seem like anyone cares, but they do. Instead of lying when someone asks about the bruises, you need to tell them the truth. Being in an abusive relationship can leave life-long scars. It's better to get yourself out of the situation now. Call your mom and tell her what's going on. If she refuses to listen, talk to another family member, a teacher, or your school counselor. Keep telling people until someone listens to you.

I know it's hard right now but self injury and suicide are not the answer. When you get the urge to harm yourself, please talk to someone or call 1-800-273-TALK. It's toll-free and the counselors are available 24/7. They can help you work through the issues at hand and offer help and counseling.

If you need someone to talk to, drop me a note in my inbox or email me. My personal email address is on my column.
