Dear 13 year old me,
stop cutting yourself, I know you started a year ago and that seems a long time, but get some help now, otherwise you'll still be doing it at 20.
In a year or so's time someone is going to do something bad to you, speak out! Don't keep it bottled up.
Give up on fitting in- normal is boring remember. And don't listen to anything anyone say's about your figure, you are voluptous not podgy and if you go on to lose masses of weight guy's will tell you that they found you really hot with curves but now you've lost them.
Your family are gonna rely on you a lot over the next few years, but you can cope, you are a strong person. Just don't hide the stress, please don't get obsessed with exercise. If you do you will not get your 4 A's at a level and you will not get into cambridge.
Stop fighting with your sister, in time she'll become a good friend of yours.
Love my 20-year old self.
