Any time you are doing something to hurt yourself there is a reason.
You have to figure out what the reasoning behind it is and deal with it
I would suggest therapy

Your friend who talked to the counselor seems like a very good friend to have.
It takes a lot of courage to speak out when a friend is doing something that might bring attention from an adult such as a parent or a counselor.
The truth is counseling is probably the only solution to your problem.
Cutting yourself less is an improvement, but not cutting yourself at all is where you want to be.
Keep seeing your counselor and thank your friend for assisting you where others feel that teasing you is going to make things better.
Teens can be cruel, especially when they do not have the necessary tools to help you.
Stay in counseling please.
blessings to you.

Sweetie, I have a son that did the tattoo's just one after another. I kept asking him why did he do this to his self? His answer was self punishment, why ? I asked him, For years he wouldn't tell me then he went to drugs and had to be put in a mental ward. Something happened to him that I did not know about when he was very young. But honey once he got it out in the open his pain stopped. Now he knows it wasn't his fault, and I don't know what is behind you cutting your self, but please find someone to talk to that you feel you can trust to get this out. I know it will make you feel 99% better. Now my son is having tat's done to cover up all the bad ones he had done in the first place, because they were not pretty at all.
Do your self a favor and look at the cut marks on your body your beautiful body that God has given you and think is this how you want to look when you get older? What ever it is cutting your self won't make it better, and the marks will only be a constant reminder, so please stop and ASK GOD to take away your pain and dull that knif that is hurting you. I shall say a prayer for you to give you strength to get through this. Much love to you sweet child for coming to this page to ask for some help. that took courage. Bless you.

Evy, you are not mentally ill. Most every person has mental problems they hide and deny to themselves and others. Most people in this nation are cruelly callous in their attitudes and worse yet in their behavior. Think about it: we still kill each other to solve political problems. War is the ultimate insanity. .We just call it patriotism rather than mental illness. Too bad patriotism is not Improving health care, or providing better education, or ending corruption in government..
But anger at hypocrisy is not very helpful for you right now. What you need is what you have never had: love. Unconditional love. Till someone begins to show you respect and kindness you will continue to suffer. And until you find someone who takes you--not your cutting--seriously, you will not heal.
So, please, do not accept the label these moral midgets put on you. And do not think there is no one who cares about you. There really are people who will love and cherish and treat you like the unique person you know you really are. But, you must find them first. So start looking. Stay away from males as they are rather narrow minded. They want sex, more sex, and free sex. There are no exceptions, believe me.
Find a woman. Any woman who is a mother and has been through the same troubles you are having will want to help you. A woman that has overcome the same agony you suffer and can show you how to do the same.
You can find these caring women by asking questions incessantly. Try the internet. Find a Priest, Rabbi, Pastor who is kind and caring.. Try to find organizations who deal with problems like abuse, poverty, crime victims, rape victims, homeless, and--mental health--to name a few. But try and keep trying till you find that someone. And quitting is not an option. I like and care for you for starters and you just haven't found those others who will do the same. So....get off your little butt and make me happy. And the only way to make me happy is to make you happy first.

If you are still doing it be sure that you are still getting help. It is a miracle what a difference a psychologist can make - and if you can't afford one talk to your school - they can help. It may be (i am not in the medical field) that some school pressures are unconciously encourage you to continue in this behavior - transfer. If you tell your parents why, I am sure they will help to make the arrangements. Just be sure that you are talking to someone! I had one too many friends in similar situations when I grew up and it did not lead to happy endings for anyone involved.
So what if you need to be in a hospital for a bit. What is more important, being a little embarassed (which a big part of can be avoided by transferring) or your happiness and life?
Please take care of yourself.

You really sound like a person who has a real heart of gold, but has a very hard time expressing herself. That comes with confidence in yourself. There is so many beautiful things around to be doing negative things to yourself. If you have one close friend, share time with her/him and really get to the deep side. A real friend will offer, and stick by you, no matter what other kids say. Love is caring, Love is giving of yourself and not being asked. Inside I feel there is a strong person in you, just help her out, you will be surprised. Good Luck and God Bless !!

Take a good look at yourself in the mirror and look at your scares, do you really want a person who you fall in love with to see this on you? Try saying I Love Myself , everytime you feel like cutting yourself and see if you don't feel better and stop cutting yourself. You can go years in thereopy but if you don't want to stop in your heart than thereopy won't do you any good. Just like a dope feen, they go to programs and come right out and do the samething because they haven't made amends with themselves and really don't want nothing out of life, so they use drugs again and again. Just believe in yourself and you can stop cutting yourself at will. You are beautiful, and God does love you.

instead of cutting your self try holding ice cubes they help. also what is the reason to why your cutting yourself has something tramatic happened or are you just doing it for attention. whatever the reason is you need someone to talk to rather then cutting yourself. also these ppl in school there small minded jerks and need a life. always think of the postitive side in life and you'll be able to get though it

Honey nobody should get mad at you for doing this but you do need to get some serious professional help! What you are doing is not very healthy and you need to see someone, talk to someone. Do your parents know what you are doing? Have you spoken to anyone else???

Are you receiving mental health treatment on a regular basis?I hope so . Pray about it and ask God for help. Don't worry about what your friends say. If they were really your friends they wouldn't try to make you feel bad.I will pray for you.
