Katelyn
My name is Katelyn, I am sixteen years old. I have been cutting for almost two years now, and I regret starting because it’s so hard to stop. I am submitting pictures from the past three months and only because I want to show people the effects of what self injury does. It’s never a good thing to start and it’s so much easier to start than it is to stop, and the outcomes are great. I have been caught once in my freshman year of high school around April. Well as it turns out they look at cutting as being ‘suicidal’ when in fact I don’t want to die. With me, cutting started as stress relief, and after about four months it turned into a habit, which now I consider my ‘high’. No, I don’t do drugs or any of that but in a way cutting gives me a high and that’s what’s addicting. Right now, I have not been hosipitalised or anything like that. Just in school counselling. My dad doesn’t know, and I want to tell him but I can’t.
