AboutMonique Expertise If you're feeling like hurting yourself in any way or having thoughts of committing suicide, send one here. I can understand and feel the pain that some people may not understand since I have gone through most of these scenarios. I have had thoughts of killing myself and I have cut myself. If you think nobody understands, I can. Ages are not necessary but they would help out. Remember, someone out there cares.
Experience I have been there before with feelings of depression and suicide and hurting myself a while back. I've gotten myself and many friends through it so will try my best to help you out.
Organizations I do some volunteer work such as participating in walks and volunteering at a local library. I also play an instrument in the school band.
Education/Credentials I am currently going into highschool in enrichment classes. (14 years of age)

Question I have friends, close friends even. My family loves me, and I have all I need to live. So what's the problem, right? I cut myself for months until people found out. My mother found out, my friends were suspicious. My mom hid my razors from me, and I promised I wouldn't do it again. But then a week ago, I did it again. My best friend and mom found out and they were furious. I felt so bad, I still do, and I just want to kill myself, I was being so stupid. I have tried to commit suicide before, but I just thought maybe there was a reason to live. But not anymore. I just don't know anymore.
Answer Hey Lena,
Do you have a passion in life? If you do, aim for that and strive high for it. If you don't, try involving yourself in many activities to find that one thing that you can't get enough of. I understand how people would be mad at you, having gone through it myself. Try to clear your mind of hurting yourself. If you can't find a reason to live now, rather than cutting, look for one. There are plenty of opportunities waiting for you so think positively and everything will work out. If you have any other questions or I by accident missed one of yours, feel free to send another question.
