Talk to somebody about this - a doc, a psych, school counselor... you shouldn't have to feel this way.

That being said - 12 is a crazy, crazy time, and I really think it can only get better. You can get through it! But it'd be a good idea to work your emotions out, figure out just why your cutting, and hopefully make things better. No shame in meds, either :)

Yes, you should really stop. I have a question.... How does making you see blood make you feel happy? Think about it. Hurting yourself makes you feel happy? You should talk to a school counselor or a responsible adult. If you feel alone and you think no one cares remember God loves you...

STOP CUTTING right now, and start running or lifting weights (or some other difficult sport). Athletic activity will give you the pain and subsequent endorphin rush that you are getting from cutting, but in a much healthier way. It'll also relieve your stress and help you to lose weight and feel better about yourself! :-) Best of luck to you.

You need to tell your parents or another adult relative you trust. This is not normal and can be life threatening. Please stop cutting and seek help. My niece used to cut and almost died. Get counseling. I pray you at least take the 1st step and tell an adult. Best of luck to you.

By cutting, you're learning to avoid the problems and feelings. It's going to be difficult to change this coping mechanism. You can do it and you'll feel better when you have conquered it.
