wow... this is moving. im a young carer too. dad got an odd illness. i started self harming through alot of things.but his illness was one of those on top.i would have been around 12 aswell.i have young carers to thank now. but i still get the times where i cut out of fear for his health and the like. its really hard and not on just the carer and the person whos ill but even our friends and such. its hard to say i cant do things because of dad.

My mother is an alcoholic i also used to self harm but my boyfriend stopped me I can't tell anyone and where I live I can't get help.

Your not alone mano, there are many young carers out there as myself, there is a young carers project going in lancashire based in ormskirk welcoming people in this situation. its for people like us to get time to meet people like us, discuss our feelings and have fun

I know how u feel bab. My dad has schizohrenia- n my life changed the day he got ill. Hes the child in the family not me. i can neva tlk 2 my m8ts about whats going on expecally wen they moan about having to make a drink for their mum, they just dont understand do they. u know that self harm isnt the real answer it takes the pain away for a while but does it really change anything?? Nope cuz parents r still ill u sound like an amazin girl how do you cope?? carin makes u an amazin Wb Love Kiwi
