Don't worry about the douchebag above, he's just pissed cause he had recently read information about micropenis disorder and now knows why no girls like him. Yeh buddy, your life rules so much that you actually waste your time going online for the sole purpose of trying to hurt somebody's feelings. (talk about ripping on someone else in order to forget about how much you really hate yourself)

anyway, I had this problem a few years back while I was going through some legal problems and so on. It's a very serious thing and you need to get to a psychiatrist. It's also not nearly as rare as you might think. For me it was just a method of getting rid of my rage without hurting someone else and going to jail. It was the only thing that would calm me down. I got through my legal problems and now my life is great and I only have some scars to remind me. I'm sure you'll be fine but most importantly you need to understand what is making you do this, so you can fix it before you go too far. Best of luck to you.

This is to panzer.. What the hell is your problem..? Do you know what you're doing..? You could, or may have worsened her problem.. If you're looking for cheap thrills, please search elsewhere.. People come here to seek help and to help; not to torment the needy.. If you have come to your senses, please remove your posts and apologise..

Unwrittenverse, I understand your problem. I also cut myself.. It may be hard to tell your parents about this, but it's what's best for you. Maybe you might want to tell your best friend first. Then either ask him/her to tell your parents (with you beside her, of course), or write a note to your parents telling them about this.. It's a lot easier when you don't have to tell them yourself.. I believe you can do it.. Keep us updated..
All the best..

~
regards.

listen babe I am 14 and I started cutting when I was 12... It sucks sooo bad I know...But this year I found my angel...He is my best friend and I love him to death...He is there when I feel the urge and talks me out of it and make me feel wanted...My problem was that I felt the world was closing in around me and I couldn't breath...Know that I know someone cares so much about me that they are willing to listen to me cry and scream just so I don't hurt myself which makes me feel so much better...You just have to find that one person that will listen no matter what and that will always be there for you...Ever since I started talking to my angel I have been cut free for almost 3 weeks...Also try snapping rubber bands on your wrist it gives the same great feeling but with out the scars and blood...Please feel free to pm me anytime and I will try and help even though I don't know you.

Im Only 12
Hey there Hun unwrittenverse' you go find someone you can trust now to talk to, and when you find that person then you may get the help you need' so listen now sweetie there is some kind of help out there, in the meantime if you feel the urge to cut then try the ice cube solution its temp but may help you, put the icecubes in the palm of your hands and squeeze tight until they melt this often helps the urge' to leave you.
talk with someone Good Luck dont be alone with this?

I felt the same way when I was younger. If you feel like you can't tell anybody then don't (I think society is often the problem, they always label people and put them in a box -.-), but try to talk to a doctor about it..that's what they're there for. If a disorder etc stays untreatened it'll often get worse. Mine got worse, because I was always in denial about it and didn't wanted to be treated. I don't wish that on anybody!
Like Poetry_Writter said one thing that helped me was wearing a rubber band around my wrist..

I'm eighteen now. I started when I was thirteen. It's the worst feeling in the world. I finally told my mom this year, right after I turned 18. She got me the help I needed. She loves me and I know it, and I don't think I'd be here without the help I got. You should definitely seek help to stop. It'll be hard, but you'll feel so much better after.
