ive been on the other end as you. ive never cut myself but one of my closest friends was doin it and i found out. ill tell u wat i told her. cutting yourself not only hurts you but it hurts those close to you, it hurts your friends and family. u need to find out the reason for your depression, and try to solve it. but the MOST important thing, is to talk to someone you trust. everytime you feel like cutting, call someone. talk. its like a patch. its like nicorette gum but seriously. just talk. it helps soo much...
