I have always been different from other girls. Im young, Im in 8th grade, I used to cut myself, Ive been diagnosed with depression.. I still am on my pills. None of the other girls are on pills, no one went through what I did. I didnt have anyone to talk to either, my best friends didnt understand, I signed up for this website and I realized its okay. A lot of people my age go through what I did. I couldnt understand why i was such a freak.. But im not alone. & I dont self harm anymore, im over everything, even though im still on the pills, I don't feel as weird as i did before i went to this website, i really love it. and its helped me a lot. I still feel different from other people, but everyone is different in there own way.

    I think sharing on this site will help you to realise that the world is made of (different people) but underneath we are all the same.
    I have worked with children who self harmed through abuse and many other reasons, young girls who were on hunger strikes etc.
    We found it was always a cry for help, self harming doesn't help your problem it just masks it..... kinda makes the other pain in your life seem less painfull.
    The best cure for any ( ANY ) problem is to share it with others.
    I'm not trying to give you a miracle cure all I'm saying is there are hundreds of people in your life who care a great deal what happens to you.
    The only reason they don't help is they don't know you want them to.
    Your life has a purpose and a meaning, you may not have found it yet but you will.
    I hope you have a happy and wonderful life.
    Take care cos I care.
