Question
QUESTION: hello
I dont know if this is the right category to put this in but i wanted to give it a
try If you know a better spot for this question please tell me if you havent
guessed all ready im a self abuser i cut myself at first it was an accident but
when i found out how much it helped i do it more frequently i  havent cut in
a while but the urge is still there im no quite sure what to do about it i want
to give in its getting harder to fight back

ANSWER: abusing yourself is not at all going to help. You should stop and seek professional help by talking to someone you know and trust. No one should ever be abused, especially if the abuser is yourself.

may want to stop (like i do) but they can't its not that simple do you ahve any
other advice o should i just go curl up and die somewhere

ANSWER: you're not alone when it comes to self abuse. Many people cut their wrists, I know because I knew a girl who once did that. You're not the only one. There are others like you, they sought out help and they recovered. You can too. Don't throw your life away because you think people around you will ostracize you, because they won't.

QUESTION: realy one of my best friends was faund with scars on her her parents shipped her away so fast we didnt have time to say goodbye now my parent wont send me away hell half the time i dont exsist to him all our money goes for food  and i did it again last night  i wish i hadnt but i did and it felt so right so good

Answer
You've gotta stop cutting yourself, one day you'll end up killing yourself. What would your parents think if you killed yourself? What about your friends? How would they feel?

If you can't get support from your parents, talk to your friends. If they truly are people you can call "friends", they'll help you get through this.
