SELF-STUDY…things sound pretty crappy for you right now and in times like that there is literally only one thing you can do to get out with your sanity, or at least part of it, self-study. Read books, meditate, just spend your free time doing something out of the myriad of things that will improve yourself. Look into your future, pick a spot on the horizon, and do what you can do try and make it there.

ya. and gahhhhhhh
i want help.
I don’t want help.
I want to be happy.
I dont want to be happy.

its just so confusing

oh my goodness, how old are you?

my parents were divorced when i was 7. it sucks. my stepdad was a drunk, i was the only girl, i was the odd one out. i got made fun of for acne, they always called me names too, i was chunky, okay i was fat! I am trying to say - I know exactly where you are coming from!!!!! deja vu!

I think that you should definitely talk to a counselor, especially if you are a cutter. You need to stop that now, don’t hurt yourself any longer. I talked to a guidance counselor at school back when I had trouble and she was there just for me to vent, do you have anything like that available? Something that wouldn’t be reported to your parents especially since one in particular seems to be the problem! Counseling could help you tremendously. I have to pay to see a counselor now….that sucks. (lol)

Please don’t hurt yourself anymore. I hope you can find some help….maybe talking with the others here will help you too. :)

I am 14.
my step mom is a wack job.
I get made fun of for acne…
I get called names.
I’m not fat, but I’m chubby, I get made fun of.

I have a lot of friends though.
so I’m guessing u kinda know where im coming from?

OMG, 14! I did so many wrong things at that age because of my home life. It really sucks when the other parent sides with the stupid one - doesn’t it? Get used to that.
But has writting on here helped at all? Sometimes just venting really helps. I agree with what a lot of people suggested to you, if you have lots of friends and access to them then sweetie by all means go! Be home when you have to, but seriously think about the counseling and definitely stop the cutting.

I don’t know if what I have said helps, but you say you don’t want to talk to an adult, I am 37 and you talked back to me. Was that so hard? A counselor is there to help you. I actually thought about becomming one until I realized that I was too mentally screwed up……just kidding. :)

Don’t get yourself dragged through the courts like I did at 14, don’t cut yourself too much, they do scar…….my ankle ones are finally disappearing. Don’t get yourself messed up with drugs and alcohol, it is So Not Worth It! Seriously, the hangovers alone…..OMG! Not to mention the cost…!

All lightheartedness aside, you are too young to not help…does that make sense? I hope that you can find the right person or persons to talk to professionally.

I am curious as to what you decide…….let me know please. Hang in there. :)

Writing on here has kinda helped. People keep telling me to go see a therapist.. tell an adult. See. I talked to you ok, because your not infront of me. and I don’t know you really. So it’s just easier.

My cuts, I have scars. it really sucks. but it sounds retarded. but its like an addiction, its weird. I have thought about doing drugs, but I won’t, because I could never get my hands on them, but I’m so stupid, that if I was handed them, I probably would.

I can’t talk to my parents, or a trusted adult, I just can’t do it for some reason.

Well it sounds like your in a pickle.
I know how hard it is to ask for help. I went through a rough patch last year. And I thought I would never see the light again. My parents aren’t divorce, but I know how its like to feel alone. How it is to be made fun of, and trust me it gets better.
I do hope that you have stopped cutting yourself - because that is not going to get anywhere, trust me on that one!
Maybe you should find an adult to talk to, or even a really good friend who you know you can trust. I mean it can hurt the situation right?!
Hang in there *huge hug*
