Hey Kyle,

I know how it feels to be young and have your parents divorced. I know you can be upset about it and that you feel a bit hopeless at times. But, know that pain doesn't make it better. Get rid of your blades and resist those urges to cut yourself. If you've got emotions, find an outlet for it. Is there something you enjoy doing? Like maybe a sport or other activity? You can draw, or write, play music. Do anything to calm yourself down and get those emotions out of you. Personally, I either listen to music or I'll go to the local arcade and play DDR until I'm not upset anymore.

Also, if you're really far in as far as cutting goes, I'll give you a method I did to stop myself. Rather than cutting yourself for real, just get a red marker and mark yourself for the sight, but don't break your skin. Keep making less marks until you're not doing it anymore. Then the marks just wash away and for me it felt like my problems washed away with them and now I no longer cut myself. I don't know if it will work, but you can try it if you want to.

I've been in your situation and I can assure you that things will get better. So, keep your chin up. Feel free to PM me if you need someone to talk to.

dude don't cut yourself. I've thought about it and never had the balls to actually take the blade to my skin, but it really can't be good for u. I dunno just stop

If you need attention then you should talk to your mom or dad tell them how your feeling, if you keep on cutting you can kill yourself and your so young and have so much to live for. TALK to your mom or dad

i dont really see my dad anymore he spends time with my older brother and i only see him if i need something and my mom is a truck driver she always away but i dont care im use to being alone they got divoreced when i was a little kid my mother calls me worthless and she says im not like my brother and sister at first i just ignored her but then i started to believe her i really was worthless so i started to punish myself for it i didnt deserve to live i thought about suicide but i didnt do it so i just started cutting i cut with knives a razor blades i cut deep so the feeling i get gos away i want to stop but i cant someone give me some more advice sorry if i waste your time

You are worth it. You're a good person. You can stop punishing yourself. You're young and you really should try to talk to your older brother and your dad. IF they're not any help. Make a doctors appointmnet. Go to a clinic or a hospital. Tell them your situation. You are 13 and deserve a loving family. I am very sorry. You aren't a waste o my time. I feel really sad for you because you shouldn't feel like this. I do care. So, keep us posted.

i dont really like talking to my dad i wouldnt know what to say and my brother he does drugs well he use to thats y my mom kicked him out i not sure if he still does but i dont really like him but my dad likes him more than me my dad gave him a truck and a new cell phone and everything he spoils him i never could talk to either one of them

instead of talking to your parents who obviously put you in the position you are in...
try talking to a trusted adult like a teacher or a school counselor
they'll know what to do and where to send you to get some help...
that's what they're there for (well besides teaching )

Thats a good idea

its summer now but i was thinking of telling one of my teachers but i wouldnt know what to do they would probably just call my mom or something but im sure they would try to help i go to a christian school but im also worried what my freinds would think i only told one of my friends i cut and she kinda just ignores and talks to me normal i like that she talks to me like im normal but she like i said ingores it whenever i bring it up she just quits talking so ive been trying someways to stop and they only help a little

thats why i suggested telling a teacher you trust..
so they wont tell your parents (atleast ask them not to)
and they shouldn't unless it is absolutely necessary...

i know it is summer now
but do you guys have a phone book?..
teachers still work through the summer
my mom is a teacher..
she gets phone calls and has to go to the school all through summer...

and just because you tell a teacher does not mean your friends have to
know..
the teacher you tell should have enough respect not to tell anyone
except for a youth counselor..


i really think you need to go and talk to a counselor i think that would help you tremendously...
i do it, i have been going to my counselor since i was 15...
and she is an extreme help and knows exactly what to say..

my school isnt like a normal school if i told a teacher they probably would either say for me to tell my mom or they would and if i told them they might tell our whole church body i dont think they would since its a personal problem but still i dont want people to know i cut i know i should tell someone but its hard i dont know what they would say or think

well you have to tell someone..
you can't keep it locked inside, that's the worst thing to do...

find someone you really trust...
there has to be someone...

and i know exactly how your school is
i went to a private school, and everyone knew everything..
and you told a teacher one thing by the next hour all the teachers knew.
but i had one teacher i could tell anything to...

are there any clinics around you?...

hun, i'm just trying to help get you to where you don't feel like you have to cut anymore.

hey kyle
if you wanna talk just PM me ok

i must say...it isnt good for ya
you dont wanna die do you?? your only 13 hun
believe me youve got a beautiful life ahead of you

Then go to a hospital, clinic or doctor. Tell them what is going on and find out what you can do.. cutting can be a part of a psychological problem and I would seek medical advice

i might only be 13 but i wish my mother would of had a abortion then my mother wouldnt hav to deal with me when i was a little kid i had to go to the hospital a lot because i would always get sick now whenever im sick or i feel pain i dont tell anyone i dont want anyone to worry our to waste there time my mother always says stuff like i hav no friends and y dont i go outside and play she always says im weird and that im not a normal child i want to die so bad but i stay alive because my mother would just think i took the easy way out and i should work through the pain so i just cut myself i know its horrible but i deserve to bleed i deserve to feel the pain other wise i hav no point of living

i really don't know what to tell you
i've given you advice
i've given you options and you just ignore them or sluff them off

you really need to go talk to someone (not your parents) about this.
before you end up seriously hurting yourself
this is a psychological problem and has been brought on by many years of mental abuse (from what you are saying)...
just please take our advice adn go talk to a counselor or a doctor
this is not healthy...and keeping it all inside is not healthy either.

i hav not been ingnoring yours guys advice its just that..... i dont know what to do anymore everytime i try to tell someone i always get worried and then i dont i just dont know what to do somedays i just get that feeling and its really horrible its the worst thing if ever felt and it only goes away by cutting i did tell one of my friends but the feeling doesnt go away it just gets me scared because i hav to keep cutting and cutting just to get rid of i hav to keep cutting more and deeper i get really scared im sorry if i wasted all your guys time im sorry

you didn't waste our time..
we're here to help..
i know that when you tell your mom she acts like she doesn't care
but NOT EVERYONE IS THAT WAY...
thats why i said find an adult you trust and just start talking to them (it can be about anything... the weather, sports, whatever)...
and as you get more confident talking with them..
let them know that you have a really big secret, that they have to promise not to look down upon you for
and ease into it..
its not goin to be easy..
but where you are now is not easy either
getting out of it is the hard part...and once you are out of your slum things
will get better...
i promise!

You heave yet to waste my time. I really want to help you. I really do feel sorry because you should have parents who are there for you 13 is a challenging age. Do you have any friends who you trust or any friends with parents that you could talk to. I still think you should go to a doctor. You're just a young teen and your life is just starting. IT will get better. I promise. When things are at there worst they CAN only get better. I would still even go to a hospital. Do something!
