im a 14 year old and i started cutting about a year ago. to be honest i dont really remember why i started self harming. i think it began with me just wanting to express some emotion without having to explain myself to anyone. it was the one thing in my life that i felt like i could control. now things are going badly at school and i self harm more. i paniced and tried to find a site to get help. but then i read about all these people who were abused or close relatives and friends had died so they started self harming. that just made me fell worse because i had no real right to self harm, i had no real problem. of course i got depressed and cut myself because i was so ashamed of myself and it ended up going round in a loop. i was cutting to let out my hatred of myself, to get rid of my bad blood which made me want to cut even more. my cuts are getting deeper.

i dont really know why i left this comment i just felt like i needed to tell someone who wasnt going to come up to me the next day and ask me why i did it. thank you
