i started to cut myself whilst i was getting bullied at school and abused by my dad. a TA (teaching assistant) saw my arms in class and told my headteacher. i was called to the office and i had to show them. one of the girls who bullied (still does) saw as well and her and her friend came up to me in the hall and cornered me. they pulled up my sleeves and then told everyone i was attention seeking. i stopped cutting after that but started again a few months ago. i’m 18 days clean right now. i haven’t got any friends, people say that. but they usually do. i don’t. i sit in the library at lunch and break to cry and read books. can’t wait to start school again.
