i cut myself because of my grades.


Question Posted Friday December 7 2007, 9:06 pm

15/f i'm an honors student but my dad is sometimes not understanding of the level of my courses this year, and he pressures me too much and calls me a failure when i get a mere C.
this report card, i'm getting at least 2 Cs and i was very upset because of it. i proceeded to cut myself with my mom's razor blade ...on the inside of my left arm. they're pretty damn deep.
this isn't normal.

what ..can i do?

i'm helpless, weak...

You know,I have seen tones of these "Icutt" posts and never once replied to one.Never had anything to say.
Now I do.
Do you seriously think you have such a horrible life you NEED to cut . -think-
Do you get fed? Do you have shelter?Can you go to school?
There you go,Already have a better life than half of the children in the world.
Yes,Times get hard.Butt,Cutting isn't going to make it any better.Just another problem to deal with.
Talk to a consoleur about it .
Your father wants you to bring up your grades,Not cut.

the way i look at it is, never cause any type of harm or anything to yourself because there isnt a single person who will be worth it in the end.

dispite how harsh your dad is, he just wants whats best for you, and C's are concidered "okay" parents never want it to just be an "okay grade" they want the "best grade" but you know you've tried your best and thats all that matters. Its your dad and i really think dads are supposed to be tough. But you gotta hang in there and be positive. Next grading period try focusing a different way, or spend alittle more time studying in those classes rather than the ones your doing best in. We all have our weaker subjects except for those genious kids lol (:

cheer up girl, enjoy life, do your best, in the end your dad's going to be just as proud i can assure you. (:

and like the other folks have said, try talking to him about it, ask him for help and see what he might be able to tell you. Communication is the most important thing in any relationship with friends or family.

good luck and pleaseeee dont cut yourselff!

parents can be difficult, and if their stubborn ( like your dad seems to be) its hard to get around it. But you have to know that slitting ur wrists is not going to solve anything. I think i know why your doing this because u have to same mind set as me. I feel wen i do sumthing wrong (which in this case, you havent) you try to get out of trouble by distracted them into pittying you. But in saying that your parents will get over this in time.

ok seriously stop cutting. i almost killed myself doing that also it will leave scars. Ok what you need to do is sit down with your parents and tell them whats goin on in school and also tell them to lay off on the pressure because its just making things worse. Good luck! hope this helps! <3
