that's so sad just stop cutting if you can and do things that make you smile (that is not cutting) and try to shut out other's rude remarks (again if possible for you) and i hope you don''t get to hurt by your cuts you sound so nice if i were a girl i would date you so just keep living

I may not know your pain, but in the end you're a human, so helping you shouldn't be too impossible to do for me.
Listen now, high school is taken very seriously in many places. Teachers and other adults there see everyone as an equal, (because if they don't, they get fired), so they would help you regardless of what you suffer from and who you are attracted to. They expect the students to be mature, too, so if anyone bothers you for any reason, the teachers suspend them and forever keep an eye on them.
If the teachers do nothing, you tell the office on them and you'll get them punished for it.
One way I deal with stress is sleep. Does that work for you? Waking up from a nice nap really improves my mood. :)

Make sure to drink some water and get some rest if you survive. You may feel a little dizzy later if you lost a high amount of blood, but you'll get through it.

ok first of all hello! i'm charlie. i don't know you, but i want to help! you're probably scared, confused, and lost in a sense. i'm sure things will be ok!! you seem so nice and you know what? don't listen to others when they call you names or make fun of you! there are soo many good people that probably want to help you! (myself included)
my best friend is in a bad situation and wants to start cutting. i've helped her through it, and she hasn't started.

just sit here and talk to me, i'm very willing to listen.

Thanks Charlie,you seem like a nice person and all but how do you not listen to people; what they say when you actually beleive them?

Thank you so much. I dont feel as bad anymore. But please dont do tht again first like call er txt me b4 u do somethin stupid like tht again ok ill help u get thru it ok. i promise

When you go to school and someone calls you fat, ugly, etc... you turn around and tell the teacher on them. Bullies may sem strong at times, but all day everyday will the fury of teavhers or law-enforcement be stronger then them. Let's win this, hoowah! :D

i know trying to stop cutting would be very hard, and i know it must seem that things won't get better, but...just...just be...glad maybe. that you're alive. i know death may seem like the best option. but its not. i swear. becuase when you ki.ll yourself, you'er not getting rid of the opportunity for things to get worse, you're getting rid of the opportunity for things to GET BETTER. and i know what im about to say may sound really creepy or something. (but i mean no harm, i just want to be there as help) but if you want i can give you my cell phone number so we can accually talk to eachother and/or text if you also have a cell phone. if you do want my number, tell me on swapnote and i'll gladly reply with it. i just want to be there and help you out. becuase when i was in 7th and 8th grade, i cut alot, so i understand your pain. and highschool isnt that bad in reality, i almost never got bullied this year, despite being bullied alot in middle school. so dont worry. you'll be alright

@pride That isn't creepy at all.
you're just being a good friend...
And i agree high school isn't all it's cracked up to be... It's not that bad and it's easy to meet great new friends! So, horrorheats, stop hurtung yourself, life can get better!

Y-you cut my...
I
I
I'm so sorry I never realized how much I hurt you
I
My only advice is stop
it's not ok
you won't die
just
ignore
that's what im doing
ignoring
you're beautiful, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
I'm so sorry

@lyme
Agreed.
You.
Are.
Beautiful.

I hung myself and still lived i used to cut but stopped you will be fine i belive you will get better god be with you.

I think that bullying is terrible and should never happen but it does. I over came it by gaining their respect. I know everyone says to tell authority and I know I'll get a lot of hates for saying this, but I want to help you. Fight back. Find their vulnerabilities and use it against them. I cut myself too. If anything, I've learned that I can be as tough as I make myself to be, I'm mentally as strong as I choose to be, and physical appearence and lifestyle has nothing to do with how strong you are. The tongue is sharper than a two edged sword and no man can tame it. It is your greatest weapon, use it. Learning to ignore the words of others is near impossible, it's like trying to ignore someone sabbing you in the heart. Learn to use their words against them, just like you would learn to deflect or counter the blade of another person trying to stab you. You've almost finished the fight, and you've already gone through the worst of it. It's all uphill from here on. Even if at first you don't see it. As for friends: it's always easier in battle when you have an ally, but they also tear you down and fail you at times. So the way I see it is you have two options if you want to survive:
1. Adapt to gain strength and allies or
2. Hide yourself from the world to avoid the attacks
Remember failure is never an option. Never surrender to attackers. Don't worry, you'll do just fine.

(gawd dam.mit my internet died for a moment so i couldn't post this other comment. fruk)

well, you ARE beautiful and absolutly faboulus no matter WHAT other people say! and if i could, i would beat the sh.it out of the people that said ANYTHING negative to you EVER. because HOW DARE THEY. you are one of the nicest people i know, even though i haven't even known you that long! you just have that "vibe" or "radiation" that just is very friendly and you do not deserve the pain you're going through at ALL

Oh. Well, I'm a bit too tired to make out a whole long inspirational speech, but, I'll be here for you, and, if I could, I'd come and visit you. You shouldn't have to deal with a bit of that bs, but, please. All of your friends that know you would be crushed if you never signed on again, never commented or posted anouther picture. So, please, stop believing so you can start believeing. Stop believeing those dam.ned as.ses labeling you. Stop believing those voices no one else can hear, as hard as that may seem, they are not real. And start believing in yourself. Believe high school will be a clean slate, and importantly, remember you have us, your friends that know your story and care for you, and that you can make new friends that will care for you without needing to pity you. Now. Stop that dam.n bleeding and don't you f.ucking dare die. I'll k.ill you so help me. V_V Um, well, that sorta ended up long and hopefully inspirational. Uhm.. Good night, then.. * _ * '

i meant * You know all your friends would be crushed if [etc.]

Hortor Hearts, awww... No problem at all to help a fellow human out. :3 I'm so super glad I could cheer you up.
Squueee!

*Horror... oops for the typo above.

Also, may I make some art for you? I feel creative today. I'll draw your character doing something happy to give you some for cheer... but you have to promise me that when I finish it, you'll still be alive to see it, kay?

Hey. I dont know you.. but sweetheart. I will tell you this. It's okay. And things will get better. I started cutting around the same age as you. I'm 19 now. In college. I grew up without a dad. An abusive step father as well. Along with untreated borderline mpd, borderline schizophrenia, and full blown manic depression. I was made fun of all the time in school. Mainly for being short, thin, and 'gothy'. I couldnt put on weight. I had no friends. And to top it all off, I knew I wasn't straight since I was eleven.. I didnt know the word for it until my senior year of high school. My first two years of high school- I was rap.ed by the only two 'friends' I had. I told the only female friend I had. She spread it around. Started rumors. Made me look like a wh.ore even though I hadn't ever WILLINGLY had se.x at the time... Someone saw my cuts and spread sh!t about that too.. I was beaten up by guys AND girls daily. No one EVER did anything about it... Believe me. I understand your struggles. Mine are STILL afftecting me... And in the last few years I've attempted su!c!de seven times. It wasnt until recently that I convinced myself that I need to kerp going... For my family.. For the few friends I have... And even for this girl I know, whose also on colors, that I really like.. She has similar problems too.. But if I can do it... I know you can too. Cutting isn't bad.. It's release. You just need to be careful. If you ever feel suicidal, I'll give you my number. You can call or text me. ANYTIME. I'll even trade fcs with you if it helps... Just know- you arent alone. Okay? -Sami

sad....I nearly cried just reading it,...this is actually depressing.

My friend also tries to attempt s.uicid3...and I have alot of goth, g.ay and l.esbian friends..and I dont want them to get hurt

you should find professional help. while looking for support from the community isn't a bad idea. you need to find a counsler that can really help you with your emotions. i've been bullied before and the first thing you need to realize is that your stronger than you give youself credit for. be better then they are and show them that thier words mean nothing. you owe it to yourself to be heathy again. i think you can emerge victorious in your struggle. the night is always darkest before the dawn. hold on to life and things will get better. :)

you've had it rough, i cqnt describe how sorry i am for you, i wish i could help, but all i can do is say this; no matter how bad, no matter how horriblem life seems, its only an illusion, we task outselves with so little that we forget that the bright side is there, we circumvent the dispair inwards, but Self-Desctruction is never the answer, it only makes it worse, you need to forget what has HAPPENED, and focus on what can HAPPEN, the past is the past,,dont let it control you, i know what thats like, it makes the future horrible and bleak, i learned that by staying positive, smiling even if your sad, and my art, kept me from doing anything dangerous, it kept me alive, i think that all you need, is a replacement for your cutting, you need another outlet of emotions, because cutting isnt the answer, i hope that helps, i hope your life gets better.
