I was thinking today about how cutting will effect your life, even months and years after you recover from it. It's best not to even start. I get called "emo" every day and taunted because I used to cut. The teachers always have to watch me closely when I use knifes or scissors, because they were told to make sure I don't cut in class. I still have to go to regular counseling/therapy sessions, because they need to make sure I don't get depressed again. There's a really nice guy I met and we have alot in common, but he says we can't be friends bacause he thinks it's uncool that I used to cut. My friends all abandoned me, and their parents think I'm a bad example. This is what cutting does to you. So PLEASE, think before you decide to hurt yourself. It may seem like a good idea, but it's something that will stick with you forever.
