I havent been cutting for very long, maybe 2 weeks. i do it once a day. i dont have any ritual or anything, it's just when i feel angry, depressed, or negative emotion, i turn to cutting. at first, i thought it was for attention, to be different, but now, i dont want anyone to see them, although i do wish some of my closer friends and family members would at least notice. i dont really see whats so wrong with it, but my mother tells me that it means there's something terribly wrong with me, and if anyone ever found out, i'd be put in a mental institution, especially considering im only 13 years old. sorry to have made this so long, it was a good way to vent for me.
