Justine
My name is Justine, I’m seventeen years old and have been cutting on and off since I was twelve. I post these pictures not to gloat about what I do to myself (besides the injuries aren’t as bad as some others here), but to show those who may think that cutting is the ‘in thing’ or the ‘right thing to do’ that it isn’t what they may really think. This is not something I can totally give up now. I can go as far as a couple months without and injury, but than it takes it’s hold again. I hate feeling dependent on cutting to help me feel better, but the devil side of me always says ‘well nothing else works, so obviously this is right’. Well no, it’s not right. I can’t wear shorts, or shorter skirts, I have to be careful not to let others see the ones on my arms. No, cutting isn’t something you want to delve into.
