I started S.I. in 6th grade I am now in 7th. It all started with a new girl who I thought was trying to steel my x-best friend.I am partly still friends with my x-best friend but we did not become x because of the new girl who is now my best friend. Also because of things with my dad, my x-best friend was trying to control a science project project we were doing together and I felt like no one understood me wich I still feel like no one does. So yeah thats basicaly it. I am not happy at all that I do this. Surprisingly I am not even that scared of letting people see my scars except for my family. I’m not looking for attention i’m just not scared because I do it out of a cry for help.Maybe even some day when i’m over it or something someone will ask me what happen and I can tell them about my journey and warn them never to turn to it cause it will over take their lives.
Hey you are very young and have soooo much of your life left to live!! Middle school is rough, real rough, and many times it feels like no one understands you so you feel very alone..I went through that same thing in middle school, i would cry almost every night. I kept it all bottled inside but i didnt start SI until my sophmore year in highschool because by then my feelings were just to big to handle. If you have someone that you trust completly i really think you should talk to them because if you let this problem go it will only get worse. People do care but they sometimes dont know how to help you unless you ask for the help first. Im praying for you:) Hang in there:))
Thx of for the support and I am praying for you too.
Im also in middle school. Im in the eighth grade. I hope that it wont be hot outside when I graduate because I’ll need to cover up the scars. I think you know how I feel though. I feel for you and hope that you are able to be stronger than I am.
