Answer 1

Caitlyn, I think it would really help if you could talk to someone about it. There are people who can help you find healthier ways to deal with things. Talk to your parents, school counselor, teacher, doctor, or any other adult you trust, and tell them what's going on. You don't have to tell them right away about the cutting if it's hard, but tell them what's going on at school, and that you're having a hard time with it. It would be best if you can tell them about the cutting too, but just telling them there's a problem would be a really great start.

Sweetie, I'm sorry the other kids are picking on you. It's not nice of them, and they shouldn't do it. Try not to pay any attention to them. You're not fat or ugly, and I'm sure your eyebrows are just fine. But whatever they say about you, all of that is stuff that changes as you get older anyhow. The kids who are being mean to you have a bigger problem: they're just not very nice people. What's on the outside changes, and you can change it yourself, too, but you're pretty much stuck with whatever's on the inside, and all those kids who say you're fat or ugly, or lack eye brows, they got the short end of the stick when it comes to empathy, kindness, and maturity. I know it may not seem like it in now, but I promise you that kindness and empathy are a lot more important than eye brows. Unless you're life's goal is to be a stripper or a prostitute, your brains will count for a whole lot more than your physical appearance, and you've certainly got those other kids beat in that regard.

Now, back to the cutting issue... in addition to talking to someone, you've got to find a healthier release. Try writing, or try drawing, painting, or whatever creative activity you like. Try to express what you're feeling some way other than cutting. Also, try to find something to distract yourself, and take your mind off things. Whatever you like to do enough that you can focus on even when you're really upset. It might be watching TV, reading a book, playing computer games, or standing on your head (hey, you never know). Whatever works for you is great, just try to find something you enjoy enough for it to help you take your mind off cutting.

Once you start cutting, it can be really hard to stop. I know, I started cutting about three years ago. But be strong, and let the people who can help help you, and you can get past this. If you ever want to talk, you're welcome to email me at [e-mail].

Answer 2

You should really talk to someone about this. A parent, school nurse, school councellor or at least a favorite teacher.
I used to get bullied at school too because I have red hair and freckles and it is destroying, but as an adult I see that they were just little idiots who today are doing nothing with their lives. Bullies are usually jealous of you and want to try to make themselves feel better about their problems by trying to focus on someone else.
You will find that the other kids in your school like you and the bullies are a minority. You can stand up to them if you feel this is the right thing to do but I know you are not fat and ugly, I know that you have something that they are jealous of. You must be smarter than them I'm guessing and you will get into college while they live in a trailer with five kids.
Its destroying as a child/teenager, I know, I've been through it, but you need to be strong and not believe what they say. I'm sure you have friends on your side.
Please do not listen to what these few idiots say and please do not harm yourself. I know a lot of people love you and don't want you to be hurt, I don't want you to get hurt for one.
Please talk to someone who can help you more.
I have to go eat dinner but e-mail me if you want [e-mail] xx

Answer 3

First tell your parents that you need help. Explain to them that you often cut yourself to feel better. You need rehab for this behavior. It's self destructive and you could potentially kill yourself. I had never heard of a cutter until I watched THE REAL WORLD some years back. There was a girl on that season who was a cutter. She got the help she needed and you should do the same.

Answer 4

You are being bullied at school. Its so hard to report these people I know, because you think that they might find out it was you that reported them, but you have to report them. Do you have a school counsellor? if not go to a member of staff that you trust and tell them all about it. Keep a diary of when they bully you and what they say. Do your parents know? if not tell them and they can go to the school and complain too. You must have really low confidence now due to these terrible people and you are hurting yourself because of them.
Please tell somebody about it and once it is off your chest you will feel so so much better about it.
Look after yourself darling.

Answer 5

First of all, ask yourself, why are you cutting? I've been there, stop cutting!! Things will just get worse. If you dont want anyone to know, stop, and stop caring about what other people think. Worry about what you think about yourself. If you have a close friend tell him/her. Keep a journal. or anytime you feel to cut write it down, cry, or take a walk, do anything to keep yourself busy.

When I was in 6th grade I had the same problem. Eventually I had to see the school counselor which really helps. Look into that, because most schools offer that. Good luck.

Answer 8

please just stop. what you feel when you cut is called a preverse pain. hurts so much it almost feels good?? cutting yourself wont relase the pain and stop thinking about what other people think.I know its next to impossible when your that age but trust me. when your older noone will care and those kids who treat you so badly will only grow up to have no future and no life.if you are getting upset and angry when they bug you,you are only giving them what they want. the want to to flip out and be sad, makes them feel better.try being nice to the kids that bug you,that will really piss them off. seriously. say hi to them everyday. make conversation with them. if they dont like you think of how confused they will be when your sitting next to lil Johnny asking him about his weekend. They will more than likey tell ya off. but them say"alright well it was nice talking with you have a great day". have fun with it. your a kid go out and have fun, be safe and please stop cutting yourself.Treat your enemies like your best friends. they will hate it!!

Answer 9

Please seek psychiatric attention. There are free resources in the government section of your white pages phone book. Look under mental health section. There are free resources, in case you are not in a position to afford professional help. I am a beneficiary of these free resources. They work. I could go on for pages. Just please seek any source of professional help you can. You will thank yourself, and your life will seem less "roller coaster" like.

Answer 10

talk to your parents about it and maybe they can take you to see a psychiatrist...they can help!

Don't feel bad about yourself. You have no reason to, especially in 6th grade! Do not cut yourself. Keep yourself busy so you don't think about it. Read, cook, watch a movie...but keep yourself busy!
