Did you know that self harm is no longer a rear occurence among teenagers?
in a study of nearly 6,000 british students 13% of them over their life time 15 and 16 years old have carried out acts of deliberate shelf harm....but... only 50 of the students went to hospital....

I am one of them.... and the only diffrence between me and them is that my secret was found out accidentaly. and i was taken to hospital....... by friends.

i use to think it was something to be ashamed about. But it is not!! i kept it hidden for so long from every one even my big sister and i told her everything and she still does not know and alot of my family doesnt either...

you can get help anywhere. not just professional, friends and family, even just writhing.

ashamed, self harm, its not.
