Why do you want to cut in the first place?

But please, give the razor aside. You know it isnt good for you, try talking instead of cutting, both helps.
Just talking is healthier and wont leave scars.

What do you think?

Well you shouldn’t use something you just found in the street o.O You could get a nasty infection.

And I do a lot of things to feel better, draw, read write, and other stuff. They’re all more productive.

I wouldn’t recommend becoming reliant on self harm as a coping method, it’s no fun at all.

Think about exactly what is making you depressed (and be specific and honest about it). If you can, write it down. Then think about what would help resolve the problems you’re having.

Temporary pain relief does not justify permanent scarring.

hey, think about what would happen in result of this… it will hurt, itll make you look bad and trust me as a girl going to highschool myself… you just dont want to be labeled…its going to be ok, there are always worse p roblems out there and plus something you found in the street could give you aids or something… yeah…you probably dont want that

Dont cut yourself its not worth it. I use to do this to make me feel better and now i dont because it is really bad for your skin and when people find out they tell on you and you end up in lots of trouble you never wanted to be in. Why do you want to cut yourself??? If you talk to someone about how you feel it might help. You can talk to me if you need to i am a high school girl with all ears for listening ang helping. Dont hurt yourself if you do you could die and thats not good..

Like lifeless said, talking helps just as much as cutting, just doesn’t leave the scars. Sure, talking may take a little bit longer to help than cutting would, but talking it all out would be a lot better for you than cutting.

Thanks bookworm16.

And lolaiszackschick, it is ‘good’ that you cleaned but that is not so important right now.
I hope the razos is somehwere else but in your hands, use your fingers to write now.
We are here to listen, try this first.

Cutting wont help you over a longer period. Talking does.

Ok, just talk things through with us, but whatever you do, don’t cut!

Hm, maybe you should try to talk mostly to us when you have problems, too with friends but mostly with us.

People dont always want to hear about bad things, they want to laugh and joke to, it is hard for them too if you talk too much about your sad feelings - even if it is ok to do so.

It is ok if you want to talk with people about it, but search for a therapist maybe?
Or well. Come here whenever you want to, here are always people to listen to you.

We all here are here just for you to get to know more about you. Tell us what is going on, what makes you sad.

And this with your friends, we’ll sort that out. But firstly vent a little and talk off whats on your chest.

Look, I know how you feel with the whole cutting idea, and I’m telling you now, please don’t do it. I’m prepared to sit here for the whole night talking to you, if it will stop you cutting. How does that sound?

Hey, better than no time, right?

Maybe we can make you feel better until it is 4?
What made you so depressed that you consider to cut again?

I agree with lifeless, it’s better than no time :) Heck, a lot can be acheived in one and a half hours.

Ok, rather than lumping together everything you’re feeling at the minute, how about tackling things one by one? Lumping them together always makes them seem bigger and scarier, but if you split them up, you can begin to see ways around some of the problems. Which one do you want to look at first?

So, I know its hard when the parents fight so much. But the only thing you can do in such a case is not to let it get you too much. It is their life, unfortunately it involvs you but… if they cant get along with each other its their problem.
But a divorce is a good thing maybe, I didnt believe it too first. But if they cant get along with each other its better if they part.

But it is natural that it affects you, as their child too, and it hurts you bad, right? Are they caring towards you?

Ah, yea this is really a bad situation. But do you prefer one of them? Or make it like this - go to this person you brother who hits you DOESNT go?

Go with who you’d prefer to be with. And if you’d like to be with both of them, I’m sure it could be arranged so you stay with both of them at some point or other.

Unfortunately you cannot change their minds, and yes it affects you, but they are trying to do the best by both them and you. It would be better for everybody to live in a household where there is no fighting. Surely you see this?

Hm… so do you like staying at your fathers house?

But doesn’t your brother live with your mum?

Why dont you want to stay with your father?

Ok, so you know what would be better for you and you realise that your mum and dad divorcing could be for the best … for everybody?

yea i guess

Hey, if you’re not sure about something it’s ok. We can try and help.

Hey, if your mother is more like a family, do you think you could tell her that your brother hits you? Do you think she would understand and help you?

hm… and your father doesnt care either?

Anyhow, so you prefer to stay with your mother even if you get beaten.
Do you have other siblings too? Or just this abusive brother?

Have you ever told anybody else about your brother hitting you?

Ah ok… understand.

Just, when you go to life with your mother and after a time he starts abusing you more than usual, you have to do something. But yea, until then we’ll see what happens.

And about your best/boy(?)friend, why do you think he doesnt love you anymore?

for how long already?

Maybe he had just a bad time?

Have you tried talking to him and asking him what’s up?

Bye, if you ever need to talk, you know where to find us :)

Ok, bye, I hope you’ll have a good time!

And yea, come back whenever you want, we two will be here to reply ;)

You shouldn’t cut, please do not do it.
