I started to cut when I was in the 8th grade. I didn’t realize it had a name until I saw it on Oprah one day. Usually I would cut as a way to discipline myself. That was the only thing that would help.


Now I haven’t cut in exactly one month. Whenever I think about cutting I think about all the people that I will be disappointing if I go through with it. Then I just get up and make myself busy. Usually I draw out my pain. It helps most of the time. Something else that has helped me is my friends. They don’t yell in my face and tell me it’s wrong. They just listen to me talk whenever I am trying to prevent myself from cutting.

Cutting causes horrible scars that will NEVER go away. I now wish that I hadn’t cut at all because I can’t wear cut-off tee shirts anymore because of the scars.
