Three years ago I was one of those people who thought people cut for attention, there were these girls in my class who cut, and showed it off like something to be proud of, one girl who caved ‘mum’ in to her arm, I didn’t understand. Maybe those girls were doing it for attention or maybe their pain was real. But now I’m that girl who cut herself. But not for attention but the truth is I hate the attention. I hid it for a year, and whenever my mum try’s to talk to me about it I shut down, and when she tried to get me help I didn’t go to the appointment because I don’t even know what I want, or why I do it. So now I hide myself away from everyone and get all kinds of anxiety whenever I think about my future. But most of all I try not to cut because it’s doesn’t make be feel better at all.
