HOeny I am so sorry you are treated this way..Unfortuantely the world is filled with superficial..
Your drive to become a doctor is admirable..You keep working towards that goal..Someday you will be helping others who feel just as you do right now..That is when you will donate some of your time to help someone less fortuante..
I do not know where you live,I'm sure you are still in school..Do you have school counelors to talk with? Do your parnets udnerstand how hurt you are bad the name calling? Anyone who says names don't hurt proabably has never been called bad names.. Talk with your parents or take action yourself..You are a smart oung man..Contact plastic surgeons ask them if they could help you..Tell them you do not have the money but you need the help..Ask if they can help a future doctor..Or ask you primary care physician if they know anyone who can help you..Put your story in the newspaper-put it on the internet..Of course before you allow anyone to touch you check their credentials first..

Someday honey you will be the one answering a post just like what you have placed..DOn't give up and keep that faith strong..kd.

Taylor, are you 13? You need to talk with your parents and talk with a coucnelor ASAP..
Your friends are scared for you..Not everyone cuts..I know some do other things to work out their pain but cutting is so physical and it is scarey..
Why are you cutting? What's going on with you? I know you are online? If you want to talk I am here..If not then you still need to talk with someone..k

Taylor-honey you need to let your councelor know what is going on..Going and not laying everything out for the councelor is doing yourself an injustice..I am a grandma and ask that you lay off the bad language and attitude..I want to hear what you have to say but aask that you do it resepctfully..

Just tell me what's going on..Why do you cut? What is hurting you so bad?k

Honey--Talkwith your mom honey..She is there for you..Her heart will ache knowing you are going thoruhg this but sheneeds to know..There are people there who can help you..You are at an age that your hormones are raging and I feel bad for you because I know what that feels like..Bad enough the hormaones are going like crazy but then you have kids picking on you and new school..There is a person on forum who lives in Australia and is a christian man who is strong in faith..he is not a bible thumper but heknows his stuff..he also is a health addict and could guide you in strengthening yourself..Would you want to talk with him? Have you thought ouf doing karate? My grandson does shalin kungfu and ennjoys it very much..It takes stress off the body and prepares the body for battle if needed but focuses more on inner self..It builds confidence..k

I live in the USA and we have same problems here..

yeah i do taekwondo since i was seven and im a double black tip in it. No thankyou, i dont want to talk to that man thank, buts thanks for offering. I really dont no what to do, what would that accomplish if i told my cousler? besides the only thing that feels like its helping, the rest sucks. My teachers are alright i guess, my maths teacher is cool but i dont have the strength to do my work, it takes to much effort to do it and thats pretty bad, but its just too HARD to do anything with it.

Amglad you are in this..talk wiht your instructor..You would be surprized the number or people who would understnad..look at me..i am a grandma and my cutting happened years ago..

talking is theraputic in that it helps to release pent up feelings..this is the purpose of counceling..to talk and open up..cleansing if you will..

i think you would like my aussie.friend..I now call him my brother..His wife must be great as he talks so lovingly of her..They have alot of faith int heir family..With them living there they would understnad the school system..k

Help
I'm seventeen and I've been cutting for seven years - yeah, since I was ten. I've also burned myself and pierced myself. My parents found out and they said they'd get me help, but they haven't, and whenever I bring it up they get mad and pretty much ignore me. I feel so hopeless. I can't stop on my own and there's no school shrink, just the councilor who HATES me for some freaking reason. I can't even go somewhere on my own because my parents keep a SUFFOCATINGLY tight leash on me and I'm always stuck with my little brother and sister while they go out all of the time. I don't know what to do. I feel so hopeless, I don't know how much longer I can take all of this crap and each time I cut it just makes me feel lower and lower but numb at the same time. How do I get help if nobody wants to help me??

My depression
I'm thirteen and I have been diagnosed
as clinically depressed. It's funny because I cut myslef,
but because of tiny things,
I can't break this huge cyle of what I think, and when I cut myself, I go into another world, it's not me,
I feel like people are talking about me behind my back, and these voices in my head
take over me, haunt me, say my name. I can hear kids always saying my name and it scares me. Imagine a wave washing over you, and then you can't break to the surface. That's how I feel, my instead of water, that wave is made of my sorrow.
But really, my question is, should I tell my boyfriend,
because he seems to be the only thing that makes me happy anymore.
