STOP Cutting Poem

Hey I'm Karla I'm in 8th grade too. I cut. I started 4 years ago my mom found out that I cut, I caused so much pain she started to cry like I never saw her before. I caused her pain so much pain, I'm getting help but it doesn't work my problems come back and they haunt me, my parents got divorced 6 years ago. My dad went to jail for a stupid reason. Although I try to live like a normal person I have to face the fact that, I will never be a normal child. Before you tell your parents think about how your going to tell them, tell them all you feel and make your self very clear. This will help trust me I have been through that, though I still cut I try not to but now it has grown it has become my life. Don't end up like me, all you do is live in pain-I have been 6 times to the hospital 4 attempt of suicide don't ever try it trust me you will regret it.

that poem really got to me...I'm in the same situation you are..my parents don't know...they used to, but they think I have stopped, but now I realize I need to tell them...I need help…

Hi I'm Abby and I have kind of the same problem as you. My parents are divorced and my family fights a lot. I can't stand it so I cut all the time it gets worst. I need help I know but I cant bring up the courage to tell my parents. I just feel is would be better they didn't know I started again. I fell like it will save them pain. but in reality I know I'm hurting them more not telling them.
