I get the feeling that you need something for security, as in cutting/self harm, something that indicates that your still alive. I am not going to sugarcoat this, because for people throw a pity party for themselves. Even if your going through something, because we all do, you are the author of your own fate. “But my mom/dad/both don’t care about me. I did that because of what they did to me.†Like I said, it’s up to you with what you do with your life, don’t let other people influence how you walk down your own path. If you do drugs, alcohol, smoke, don’t even think that’s someone else fault. If you were peer pressured, you still have the right to say no. There is know one in charge of your life except for you. So take charge. Instead of sitting around and crying about your life, take action, make a change. Do you really think that doing nothing/self harming/ suicidal acts is going to make it better. It might feel good in the moment, but you will forever regret, whether you want to believe me or not.
