Basically in fifth grade I got really anxious and I sort of wanted to start to cut. But I was to nervous so I scratched myself on my arms. I would go to school and people would ask about them and I would say it was my dog. Everyone always believed me I mean I was in fifth grade. I still have the scars on my arms and hands.

I know it seems dumb but reaching out for support now would probably be the best option although you are scratching yourself it is still a form of self harm but the biggest thing is that scratching can very quickly turn to other forms of sh as you want more relief etc but i can tell you now its not worth it.
You make think now that if you just cut you will feel better because that's what it is on the surface level but in the long run it will not be like that as sh is a cycle and a very bad one in that as well as that is becomes a addiction for so many so even though it may sound like i'm overreacting i would say reach out for support now before things get out of hand.Your still so young and with the right support you can go back to your childhood without things like this to think
Stay safe 💛
