They say I shouldn't and try to take my razor away sometimes. Once my friend Beka hit me on the knee real hard. I thought it was pretty funny. I just shrugged it off, I know they care about me, but they don't understand that it helps sometimes.

female, age 16, began to SI at 8

The only person I told that actually mattered to me was one of my teachers, who I grew very close to and to this day, still visit, though I haven't been in any of her classes for over a year.

When I told her, I was quite hesitant, and she essentially just told me to spit it out. I just said to her "I cut myself." She was utterly bewildered and didn't know if she believed me or not. She asked to see, so I showed her my scars/wounds. She voiced to me that she couldn't understand why I would do that to myself, then she asked if I could explain it. So I did my best to do so. She has never judged me for it.
