If you maybe try to stick with the same thread you'll be able to keep track of the responses and focus on replying to it and taking in people's questions and suggestions.

I still think the world would be better off without me Some people, when they hit rock bottom, they dont have that person in their lives to pick them back up The mirror can lie, it doesnt show you whats on the inside. I dont think im fixed, people think that your like a car in a body shop, you go in, they fix you and your out, you work like your brand new, it doesnt work like that at all Sometimes i dont understand my self. Im not strong enough and im tired of pretending i am.
It is irrelevant if I, or any others think that cutting over a guy is 'stupid'. The fact that you are thinking about cutting at all indicates that you are not doing so well at the moment and need some help. People who call you those things you described are clearly uneducated and narrow minded with respect to mental health. The way your dad reacted wasn't the most helpful but I'm sure he was only doing what he naturally feels and thinks will help. Are you getting support from your school now that they know about the self harm?
It seems like you've been through a lot in the fifteen years you've been around which I can relate to but you must try to use these things to make you stronger, to widen your vision and to grow your knowledge of the world and its workings.
I hope that you find this site helpful in supporting you.

IF your looking for a distraction then yeah head over to the big distraction list on RYL, they hae lots and lots. However, I feel like your posting this cause you want people to understand how you feel, which alot of us do. But we can't give you all the help you need. I really would advise trying to talk to someone, gp, psychologist, teacher, anyone.
Whatever is making anyone turn to S.H. is a big thing and needs to be discussed to help you out. But by the sounds of it, the big distraction list is the place for you. Especially drawing and exercise of some sort

Hey, you've posted this several times now. It might be wise to stick to the one place so you can track people's responses. As for the cutting, I completely agree with what Sooty says. It's not for somebody else to judge your reasons behind why you're so distressed right now. Is there any way you can try to distract yourself from harming yourself? Is there anyone who knows about this who you can talk to without them judging? The school should be able to provide you with this support if they know. Is there any way you could talk to your teacher again who called your dad and see what is available?
Do not be dismayed by the brokenness of the world. All things can be mended. Not with time, as they say, but with intention. So go. Love intentionally, extravagantly, unconditionally. The broken world awaits in darkness for the light that is you.
well i thort i found away for me to stop cutting but for that to atually work he'd have to stop ignoring me and for that to happen someone would have to talk to him and let him no that by ignoring me its only making things worse.
sooooo i need something else that will work.
incase you havent seen my other forums i am 15 years old doing my GCSE's in school. i have alomost been killed by my dad when i was 2-3, i have been anarexic and belimic, i am dyslexic. I cut because of a boy and because of that people call me pathetic and stupid ect
my dad kiked me out and was shouting at me because one of my teachers told him i was cutting. please help
i thort he cared about me, i guess i was wrong, if he cared about me he wouldnt be ignoring me, he would notice that im unhappy, im cutting, i need him, i miss him, i love him and he's killing me

Hi honey,
I noticed you've been making a few threads; it might help to keep it all in one thread so people don't give you the same advice twice, and can give you consistent support. You might also find this this helpful.
I'm sorry to hear thing have been so difficult for you recently. Have you managed to speak to your dad since he fount out?
It doesn't matter where you come from; it matters where you go.
No-one gets remembered for the things they didn't do.
We won't all be here this time next year,
so while you can take a picture of us.
We're definitely going to hell,
but we'll have all the best stories to tell.

we should never base our plans for getting better on someone else or their actions. we can't control what other people do, only what we do. getting better means taking responsibility for yourself and learning that you can rely on yourself to get through the difficult times. if you end up needing someone else to get you through the urges, you're never going to learn that you can do it on your own and won't be able to continue staying well when things change. you are strong enough to do this, and having support definitely helps, but you can't base your recovery on someone else doing something specific....
what feelings usually lead you to harm? if you know what the feelings are that trigger you it can be easier to figure out what will help without hurting you.
this is my magical medicine cabinet. Left to right they contain: courage, hope, calmness, and strength.
The magical part: They NEVER run out, so borrow some any time you want.

How come honey?
I noticed your other thread - as I said, it might help to keep it together, say in this thread, so that we don't get confused. It's a shame that he isn't returning your love, love is a strange thing, and we often don't understand it. If this boy doesn't love you back, he isn't worth your time, and it's best to just move on without him, because you'll find someone else.
