Please get help. You need medications and talk therapy. There are groups you can attend with others like you you can give one another feedback and help. You may even from lasting friendships.

Gee. I thought people who cut themselves like to do it? After my first cut I couldn't wait for the next one. Now that I'm on drugs it kind of screws up my motivation to cut although I like thinking about it a lot some days.
The weird thing is that when you separate the mind from the body during abuse in order to stop feeling the pain, it tends to get difficult to reconnect the two without pain. Stabbing myself was a way to acknowledge the pain and I got a lot of stress relief from it so I felt real good for a day until the depression hit again. Even then, the pain helped to distract me from the stress for a few weeks so even that I enjoyed. I just wish I had stabbed a lot deeper cause then I'd probably have had even more stress released and might have felt good for a week or whatever.
Whoever pisses you off, start shouting at them if you want to stop cutting. Give them hell cause why should you have to put up with their abuse? Don't worry about upsetting them, be worried about upsetting yourself. Dish some out so they know what its like to be under fire all the time. Of course, don't do anything you'll regret later. Just stop taking anger from people. Deal with it when it comes up and you probably will be okay. Decide ahead of time what you would say if this and that happened. Then you'll be ready to respond instead of doing nothing and letting the anger build up.

Being a young person is hard in this day and age. You must not get along with your parents or do not know how to communicate with them. I see you getting angry because you are not given a chance to express yourself. Or the answer you get is always no so this creates alot of vent up anger and you relieve this anger by cutting yourself (therefore, attracting attention you crave). If I may suggest, the next time ask your parents- please help me understand why your answer is no? We don't always get what we want or need. BUT if you can understand why the answer is no, even if you disagree, it will go along way in helping you to stop cutting yourself. instead of arguing, stay calm and ask questions. Chances are your parents will become more responsive. Sweetie, you need to talk to someone to help you with anger control.
Example: When I was a little girl my dad would not let me cut my very long hair, not even bangs. It got tangled, hot in the summer, it was heavy and gave me headaches and kids made fun of me because I was heavy with this long hair. So I screamed and threw fits by screaming and banging my head against the floor. After 2 times of my mother throwing a pot of cold water on me I decided to ask 1. how old do I have to be before I can get it cut. 2. I asked my mom if she would teach me how to fix it so I would not get teased at school. I knew the answer was always going to be no. I found a way to understand how to deal with it. After my dad realized what I was going through at school he atleast allowed me to have bangs.
My heart goes out to you and I hope you are doing better.

The only answer is to get some help honey. If its the only way to release for you that is a problem. When I am stressing I usually go into my closet and scream as loud as I can into a pillow.

You could get help for that, and I don't want to sound like some weird person...but find a place where you can relax [happy place] you really should'nt be doing that its unhealthy and its not the best way to vent. Take rubberbands and place them on your wrist and everytime you get mad, snap a rubber band, it'll help you vent.

this happens to most of the people. this is because of short tempered nature. you can decrease your anger by doing meditation daily. or practice yoga. or concentrate your mind in something which you like the most when u r in anger

you should try to find something that takes your mind off of the negative things in your life. like something you love to do. ex. drawing, singing,acting,reading, play an instrument,etc.

Yes, you need help. You sound young. If you trust your parents, talk to them. Otherwise maybe talk to a school counselor or principal. They can help you get the help you need.
