    listen mandy, no matter how you do it, i guess it does count as cutting, maybe not to the extreme(where the blood actually appears) but it can get to that. now think about this, do you really want to die, and why? is your life really that crappy? is it?
    if you need to talk message me

    Mandy, I am not experienced but i really want to try to help so i will let you know what i think. I think you should try to stop this befor it gets to the point where you are making yourself blleed. I think cutting is probably a way to let out anger or frustration and maye you can find another way to let those feelings out like hitting a pillow? Or excersizing! I really hope i helped at least a little. Let me know how your doing! Message me anytime!

    mandy, ok, cry cry and cry, it's better than cutting yourself, and not only that, but when you think of dying and what it would be like, just think of the people you will affect. think for a moment. ok, if you can't think of any, then live for the thought of proving everyone who said you wouldn't be anything wrong. let that be your motivation and distraction. and at this point i would care if you killed yourself or not. and if you thinkt that it's only you its not. i've had it too. i'm not saying that i know what to say, or what works or anything. but for me, one day i just thought about what i was really doing and stopped. just then. never have done it since. one thing that might help is finding friends who will actually help you, not leave you when you tellt hem your problem. it might seem hard in the beginning but don't worry. you'll make it through.

    kk, me and you are the same age. now, i started cutting when i was in the 7th grade. i stopped last year, because i realized how mush i was hurting my family and friends. now about trust. that a tough one. some friends that you think can handle it really can't, i know. my friend told practically the whole school, and no one talked to me, it was like they were scared that it was contagious or somthing. but actually, i liked not being liked by them if that makes sense. i really didn't care what they thought. finally, some people started talking to me and they found out that i was actually a normal girl. for trust i can't tell you who to trust that's your decision.

    there's really no right or wrong person to trust. you can't know how the person will react.

    listen don't judge a book by its cover. one time at my old school, i walked into the washroom to find the most popular girl crying in the corner. i asked what was wrong, and i found out that her dad beat her all the time. and that last time he ahd threatened to kill her. i thought she was joking but she wouldn't stop crying. i convinced her to talk to the guidance cousellor and she did. and yah.... i know they might seem perfect, and some of them are, but do you really want to give up everything just to be like them. i'm not saying that being popular isn't good or anything because it is. but there's a line that shouldn't be crossed you know?

    I saw you put earlier that you have never felt so alone.....but look at all these people offering you advice, it shows they care about you.
    What you are doing is self harm, but you really need to stop it . When I started self harming, I didnt think that what I was doing was, because I only did scratches and stuff. But trust me, It soon got alot more serious than that, and now Im wishing Id never started. It became an addiction for me, so please stop before it is too late for you.

    Hi Mandy

    I'm sorry your feeling so crappy...isnt nice at all. As some of the others said, you were self harming, anyhing that causes harm to yourself is self harming. And many cutters (includin myself) started out by scratching, please don't make the mistake of letting it get any worse though because it really does become an addiction and is v hard to stop. I still find it hard to fight the temptation.

    As for the suicidal bit...sounds like you're feelin xtremly low but not entirely suicidal..remember thoughts of suicide and actions are entirely different. But if you do find yourself planning or starting to go through with the actions of suicide then you're defo classed as suicidal and need to talk to someone urgently. Hope that might have helped, and ihope things get better real soon xxxxxxx

    hey listen, just try and stop.
    ps. i know it's really hard.
    not only that but i hate it when your parents and other people say that you can do better and shit. them and their expectations. you shouldn' t let waht they say you are bring you down.

    so true,
    parents have no idea what it's like to feel the way we do. they haven't gone what we went through. so how do they think they have the right to control us. we're our own person.
