i'm 15 and i started to cut when i was 14, i stopped for a little while and started up again recently. my friend told our favorite teacher from last year to talk to me since he was worried about me (he knew i cut) so he had me go to her room after school yesterday and she wouldn't let me leave until i told her. it took a while to show her the scars, she was upset at first but offered her advice, after she gave me a huge hug and told me she loved me. i feel so relieved to have an adult that knows

[recoveredcutter]

@xcolorguardgirlx telling a adult, teacher, friend, parent, etc about cutting its'nt easy. glad that you have a teacher that you can talk to and is understanding

@SolDeTiempo This is kind of late, but it's better than never. It's really sad that she does/did that. If you need to talk at all Pm me :) as someone who is also trying to stop I might be able to be helpful.

My best friend used to make fun of 'emo' people all the time not knowing that I was one of 'those people', everyone made fun in fact. So I got you there too

I have to say, that male self harm picture made me feel a lot better about myself whenever I try to talk to someone I constantly get told "it's more of a girls thing" so I defiantly don't feel as alone as what I did 3 minuets ago. I tried to quit by doing drugs to get a release and it didn't work at all but im drug free for 7 months now but im more isolated than ever all my friends still smoke pot and they all have gf's so im always a third wheel or a tag along I hate it but i'll get there :)

[SolDeTiempo]

I Self harm. But I Don't have anybody to talk to. I'm trying to stop, But then my friend started attention seeking and it really upsets me. she pretends she self harms but trys to make us believe it. and I cant help it. it's really upsetting. The more i try and quit i realise how she keeps pretending she self harm's (Completely unaware that i actually self harm) And It hurts my feelings.... I feel so alone. in a never ending circle. I did stop self harming for 12 days! :) but then started again

great video. for some reason it took me awhile to realize i did/do self harm. i hate seeing my old scars and wondering if anyone will see or say something about them. hope everyone is doing alright.

[LivingThisHell]

I hate looks at my scars and cuts... i got addicted when i was like 10, cause that's when i first realised i had depression, and it progessively got worse, which is why i resorted to cutting. Im 15 now, and people knew i cut myself last year, but i convinced them i got better, when in fact i got worse. I literally just cut "Help Me" into my left arm, and "BROKEN" into my right, and i already regret doing it.

@emo674 I am proud of you. I have been clean for about three months now. Just know it gets easier and remember God loves you.
