Here it goes so I am offically 17
I have self harmed since I was 13. stuff in my life it was really hard, I stopped for a while but then life got waaay to real and it was like how can everyone eles hurt me ?? and I can't hurt myself ? my boyfriend and I where laying in my bed talking I moved and the selve to my sweater moved down and he saw the cuts he got so mad at me. All I could do was try and explain well he ' explained ' that he cheated on me and lefted my room he came in to me self harming and it scared him. he grabbed my hand and told me I was way better then this but I'm not I look like a normal seventeen year old but I'm not I had a baby at sixteen, I have issuses with eatting I think I look like a whale in everything I eat one meal day I'm down to 160 my shoulders and hips kinda stick out and if I do eat more then one meal I purge and then I know I won't gain weight yes I know this isen't healthy and I know I'm probably going to faint but I do it because the women in my family are all . . . full figured women and my boyfriend always says it wouldn't hurt to loose some extra weight so . . . I have only this to say don't self harm it gets you no where. Don't starve your self you go on a binge sooner or later and plus if you take it too far they'll put you in the hosptial believe me I know I've been there they pump you full of food and make sure you don't purge and your not trusted with anything sharp its not a life I would have personally picked but its my life people walking down the street smile and I smile back but if they knew what I was doing they would judge.

If you or anyone you know is hurting them selfs in anyway please get them help !
