Someone posted a blog about why sucessful girls would self injure. And as i was thinking about it i realized that i fit right there and could answer their question completely. So i wrote a comment and i wanted to put it here because i think that it is important. i hope you can relate

ive always been looked at as the sucessfull teenage girl. you know straight A's outgoing. i was involved in all the school functions. i sung the national anthem at sports events and i was the lead in the school play. People looked up to me, they thought i was perfect. because on the outside thats what it seemed like. But down under all my clothes was reality. self injury. and it broke me because i wanted to be that girl and this was a flaw i couldnt take to dinner if you know what i mean. But eventually it consumed me untill someone saw my upper arm. they told and i was broken down. how could i let this image slip away?but infact the cutting was real it still is. and i lost everything because people didnt want to believe that miss perfect had a terrible obession. One that society is not willing to accept full on.
