Answer 1

Yeah Sure It Is Okay To Cut Yourself (Y) x *Rolls Eyes*

Buh Just Remember Your Parents Love You And Dont Want You Killing Yourself Aii? (L) x

Answer 2

Poor baby, your parents are divorced and your mom is on drugs. Poor, poor you, it's totally okay to slit yourself and try to get people to feel sorry for you because you're in a situation that millions of other people have lived through just fine. Oh, I feel really sorry for you because you mutilate yourself instead of actually doing something about your problems.

Answer 3

if u really wanna punish yourself u could just stab urself in the eye with those scissors. Then GO OUTSIDE AND STAND INFRONT OF A BUS

Answer 4

Doing yourself harm is never the answer.  You are mad, frustrated, confused, and scared aren't you.  These emotions are completely normal for what you are going through.  But don't cause yourself to suffer any further for what is beyond your control and not your fault.  You are not your parents.  Focus on what you can do with your life.  You can get good grades in school and fulfill your dreams for your life!  Oftentimes we are dealt situations in life for which we have no control but it doesn't have to destroy us.  We must face each and every situation.  And remember, courage is not the absence of fear but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.  And we are not defined by what others say about us but by our actions/the choices we make in our life.

Answer 5

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO definitely NOT okay. There are other ways of dealing with your anger and frustration over your parents than cutting yourself. You don't need to punish yourself

Answer 6

You cut yourself so you can feel physical pain and not the emotional pain. Although I am in recovery, I use to use drugs to cover the emotional pain of being brought up in a divorced home that was alcoholic with emotional abuse and sexual abuse. It is not normal to cut yourself like it is not normal do do cocaine. I was going through some of my worse pain at 13. I drank and used heavily. This followed me through the next 20yrs. of my life. The help I needed at 13, I finally got at age 33. You need to get help for yourself now. When you get the help you need and work on your stuff you will no longer have to cut yourself. It gets worse and worse not better! The consequences of not getting help now can be devastating! What do you want out of your life healing, or devastation? Go to an adult that you know you can trust that will guide you into help. Go to your guidance counselor. Go to your pastor. Keep looking until you get the help you need! I will pray for you!

Answer 8

im 14 nd have been cutting for bout a year now. stop asap. it gets harder nd harder the longer u wait to stop...

Answer 9

wow hun...that must be a tough situation :(...but trust me on this...harming yourself, although it relieves tension at the time, it will only make things worse for you in the long run...

i know you may not want to hear this, but try to find something to vent your anger that won't hurt you, like scream in a pillow for example...or a hobby, something you enjoy doing that will help to take your mind off things...

it would be a good idea to consider speaking to a counsillor...if you can't face speaking to someone face to face, try an organization like samaritans, you speak to them by email and they're very nice and won't judge you...

i know it's tough being in this kind of family situation...my family have had a lot of c**p between them...and i've been stuck in the middle of it all. at times i wanted to harm myself or even kill myself...but hun trust me because i know, this is NOT the answer...

you can choose to let it upset you...or you can do positive things to distract your attention away from it all...it's up to you to make that decision

i hope things get a bit better for you...

take care

Answer 10

NO, it's NOT okay. having divorced parents and a mum who's a drug addict isn't an excuse for you to cut yourself. get some help please, with a counsellor or something. what happened between your parents isn't your fault;why do you want to punish youself??? please get some help!  

Answer 11

the real problem with cutting is that it doesn't solve your problems.  it offers temporary relief, but the issues are still there.  try talking to a therapist, a guidance counselor at your school, or any other adult that you trust.  your parents are causing you lots of stress, and you need to find a better way to deal with it.

Answer 12

It's not okay and I'm certainly sure that you know it isn't either.

If you really do have family problems,as you say you do,you should get help.

No offense or anything,but you really don't have a legitimate reason to cut yourself.You said your reason was to punish yourself... punish yourself for what?Your parents getting a divorce and your mum being a drug addict?Sweetheart,those were their choices. They preferred to get divorced,perhaps,to lead happier lives. They don't want their child to live in an unhappy environment. Also,about your mum,if you are very concerned and it makes you mad,unhappy to see her,and leads you to cut yourself,you should get her some help with her addiction.

Answer 13

no, it's not okay. go see a therapist or something.

Answer 14

no its deff not okay to cut yourself.

i think you should talk to someone about your problems so they can help you.

Answer 15

oh yeah its just normal

edit: this is heavy sarcasm.

Answer 16

yah just keep cutting urself its totally OK

...ur just a lil kid only turning 13

and ur FKN CRAZY!

Answer 17

You are not Crazy at all, you cut yourself to let your body cry. Your young you don't know how to deal with what your going through, so too you cutting is your way of venting! And its something you can control for once. But Trust me there are other ways to get rid of pain. I used to cut myself cause i felt empty and had alot of things going in my life as well! But i stopped cause after a while cuttings' not goin to be enough your going to want something else to get rid of your hurt.  So if you can stop now do it, try talking too a friend. And take it one step at a time .By no means am i saying its going to be easy but just try to get help or stop soon!!! You might not feel like your life is worth anything too but it is sweety. I know i dont know you but ill talk too you if you want! i'll give you my AIM screen name!

P.S

I know that most of you think its stupid and know there are other ways! But Please remember that this is a child notice the "i am about to turn 13" part...She just doesn't know what too do!

Answer 18

NNOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

Answer 19

TRY A SHRINK QUICK! Other options can include medication , padded room, straight jacket...Sorry to sound so heartless but read what you wrote and think  about it logically

Answer 20

Well its not good to cut, i mean i do it to. I mean you should really try to stop because its not good for you at all. I don't want you to end up like me or worse. So, its not okay, you eather have to talk to friends about it or someone else.

Answer 21

Please. Try being raised in the ghetto being half black, the black people hate you and the white people want nothing to do with you. My black father was abusive and we were very poor, my mom barely got out alive and we moved through 5 states to live in a trailer barely making it. My mom is bipolar, my 16 old half sister has a child and is in 9th grade, my brother has moved away and all he does is get high and get kicked out of school, my step brother is currently in prison.

And you know what? I attend IB, I have a GPA of 3.8 and I make all A's and B's, and I'm currenly in all AP classes in 11th grade, I'm going to graduate with honors and go to a good college.

Don't complain. You have no right. I know where I've been and I know what I've been through and I don't need to "punish" myself.

Trying livng in my shoes.

Cutting yourself is not ok, making excuses to get pity is not ok.

I've been through a lot more **** and I am working it out and it makes me so mad when all of my siblings and people like you sit around and say how hard it is, how hard life is, well change it.

Cutting yourself is not the answer.

*Open up your eyes and realize that your problems are nothing compared to others and it is possible to live a good life no matter what you've been through, you live in America, oppurtunity is everywhere. I realize my problems cannot compare to others, I feel myself lucky to be who I am and went through what I've been though, I've learnt a lot about life and I appreciate all that has been given to me, I've been given life, even better I live in America, things could not have been better for me. At least we don't live in a third world country selling ourselves just to survive, get a life, and do me a favor, don't complain, just get through it and come out on top.
