Go find someone to talk to, right away. A school counselor, or better yet, your parents. Don't hurt yourself any more!
Try to stop worrying about things that might or might not happen. Narrow your focus; concentrate on getting someone to talk to now, and feeling better. Let people who care about you help you get through this.

Have you talked to someone you trust about this? I ask because maybe this trusted person has something to offer in terms of how to stop cutting. Self mutilation is a symptom of some other issue you have not worked through yet. There is no problem that great that killing yourself is the answer for. Your life IS valuable! If you are strong enough to cause injury to yourself, you are strong enough to seek a better solution. I hope you feel better soon! Take care of yourself!

At 14, if everything has seemed lousy so far, it must be hard to imagine that life can be pretty good in your future.
But for this to happen, first you must take care of yourself. If you are not valuable to yourself, who should consider you valuable?
No that's not just phycho mumbo jumbo. In fact, just the opposite: Most people will say that this cutting that you're doing is a cry for help, an effort to attract attention to yourself. I think it's just childish silliness. People are not going to say, "Oh how much she needs me," but rather, " How immature."
If you considered yourself valuable in your own right, you would not need their attention, approval, etc., but rather you would seek to become more valuable in your own eyes (as well as in the eyes of others) by finding ways to be useful, and helpful, and a source of cheer and blessing to those around you as you have opportunity.
In this way, you will find that everyone is a lot like you, desiring love and attention, but not having a good way to find it.
So do this: take good care of yourself, physically, mentally, spiritually, socially. In doing so, you will become the kind of person everybody will want to have as a friend.
Then life gets good for you.

Don't do it, it makes u feel good when u cut, but as asoon as that affect passes, u want something deeper, like overdossing, Besides overdosing is not the answer, i suggest u see a school counseler or talk to an adult u can trust! But Don't do it, you'll regret it trust me! N remember, only u can change your destiny.

Just realize that there is hope. There has to be something good to focus on in your life. And always keep in mind that someone always has it worse than you do. But, in the meantime, it sounds to me like you need to get counseling. You're too young and you have your whole life ahead of you. I don't know how serious the situations are that you're stressing, but try and get some help, ok?

why u cutting at 14, what happend in your life that is so bad, add more details and I will let you know, if not. Dont cut, start drinking or something a little safer. I know this isn't the best advice, but drinking is better than cutting.

Rename yourself a survivor....Why cut?....Why overdose?....Perhaps you are bi-polar or need medical help so you can deal with your problems....I hated myself & my family at 14...it was a difficult time for me.....Start educating yourself about WHY you feel so self-destructive...Create a Journal & someday get it published to help others with cutting, etc. Perhap you could become a Counselor with the proper educational background. I feel SORRY for you & wish I could help you more....G-d bless!

your too young to have that many problemsn think about other people around the world have it alot worse than you. You have to realize that everyone has problems and you have to overcome them to sculpt into the person your going to be. Be strong and stop cutting that wont sove anything. Good luck and i wish you the best

and what exactly is the huge problem with your life at 14???
what you didn't get the cell phone you wanted???
or is there some equally worthless trivial desire that has yet to be fulfilled???
