SophieAldric answered Sunday February 10 2008, 2:39 pm: I know how you feel. I began cutting last year and it was kind of a ritual for me. I would come home every day and add 3 or 4 lines to my already sliced arms. The thing about it is...we cut ourselves because we have no where else to turn. It's one of those things where you have to find the strength in yourself to stop and accept imperfections... accept life for what it is. But I know how hard it can be. I stopped for a couple of months and I sliced my upper arm pretty badly yesterday. I guess I did it because I feel like I'm such a disappointment to my family, that everyone is better than me and that I have to stand alone forever. I wanted to hide my body and be part of the wall paper...but there's only so much I could do. Today however, I'm deciding to start all over again. Be a new and better person. And at the end of the day all you have is you...and when we cut ourselves all we're doing is making ourselves weak, ugly and stupid and that's not us. So if you think your fat...then start eating healthier and exercising...if you think your ugly look at yourself in a lighter and brighter way...if you have a broken heart screw that asshole. The most important person is you...so take care of yourself. [ SophieAldric's advice column | Ask SophieAldric A Question ]

You're not ugly..no girl is ugly. As far as a broken heart goes, you could again..talk to somebody you trust...or there are also many websites that you can go on that help teens with depression. Cutting isn't going to get you anywhere...i knows thats probably very hard to understand, but i can guarentee you that if you talk to somebody your life will be MUCH easier. don't hurt yourself. STAY STRONG. life will get better for you!!

XoXoXoXo77 answered Sunday February 10 2008, 3:13 am: okay well its good that you can admit you have a problem. you need to stop cutting yourself though. it will just make you feel worse. you need to take action. try to forget about the boy that broke your heart. i know how broken hearts feel, but they heal. sometimes it just takes time, like a few months or so. try to stop thinking about him. cut him out of your life. hes not important and hes not worth you harming yourself. if you feel like you are fat try to eat healthier and exercise more. if you had a boyfriend in the first place im pretty sure you are not ugly. :) good luck!

Pitsa answered Sunday February 10 2008, 1:33 am: ok...the good thing is that you are admitting your problem..I had a sister that used to cut herself so my advice does not come with no experience...First i need you to realize that NO BOY deserves you disrespecting yourself,because in the longrun that is what you are doing. And honestly,there is no real reason out there for you to ever do something like that....I had a friend that recently killed himself...you have no idea how much your own actions can hurt the people around you that actually care and love you.And if you cant respect yourself then...who will???I am just being realistic...but i am not perfect,people walking by are not perfect either...EVERYBODY has their flaws...but you dont see me or anybody else solving our differences like that.Keep yourself away from that crap.you dont need it.If you are unhappy with your body,go on a diet,work out,join an activity.NO ONE IS UGLY.You are yourself.Just like i am myself.Now...another thing you can do is talk to an adult so you can get real help before this gets too far...maybe like that you'll have someone to talk to and you wont be bottling up your emotions,which will ultimately lead to something stupid...PLEASE stop...
