Depressed Young Girls,
What is with all the cutting and gloom? Most of you are only like 14 or 15...how is life THAT horrible that you mutilate yourself?
I am far from a bouncy, happy girl...I haven't had a happy life or a good childhood. I was molested as a child, raped as a teen, moved around all my life, picked on and teased, abandoned by my father, disregarded and most times despised by my mother, and everyone I love either dies or leaves me, but I don't cut myself up and then complain about how ugly I am. I'm already funny looking and fat...why would I add to my misery by slicing up my skin and then getting irritated when someone notices or regret it when I can't wear certain clothes because the scars would show?
How does that make any sense to you? Don't you see that only adds to your displeasure with yourself?
When did this become such a trend? Why do this to yourself? You're just babies! You haven't even begun to live yet...and yes...I DON'T know what you have been through...and NO...I am not belittling your life, your troubles, or your struggles...I just want you to open your eyes. I want you to see that everything isn't so terminal. I want you to realize that almost everybody's childhood sucks. I want you to know that you are not alone. I want you to see...that really...your life hasn't even begun to get as complicated as it can get...or as easy as it might become...so stop. Stop hurting yourself. You are beautiful. Someone DOES love you, even if it's not the person you want or need it to be.
Nothing will ever change until you help yourself. The answers aren't in love or someone else...they are all inside of you. Only you can set yourself free...why can't you understand that?
I'm not saying this to ridicule or preach...I am trying to understand you. I am saying this because I care...to let you know someone cares.
Let it go...whatever it is.
Is it really worth ruining the rest of your life over? Do you really want IT to win like that?
Just open your eyes.
Breathe.
Let it go.
Before it's too late.
Save yourself...before there's nothing left of you worth saving.
