It's true.
Most people don't understand it.
I was like that, i couldn't comprehend why anyone would do that.
I didn't understand HOW they could just cut themselves open, "It must hurt so much, how can they do that?" is what i thought.
Then i went through some tough times. My family lost 4 people, with in 3 months. Then my father, who had never been compleatly in my life, was accused of doing things to my brother. My brother was in and out of a mental hospital for months, and still is. My grades were slipping, i was getting detention on a regulare basis. Everything was just going down the drain. I didn't know where to turn, all my old friends didn't talk to me, so i fell in with new people, and these people were no where near good for me.
I had so many cuts i couldn't wear anything but long sleeves.
So i started cutting on my sides and thigh. I couldn't walk at one point it was so bad.
I realize it was stupid, i knew it then, but i couldn't stop. I was addicted.
It is no joke people.
