bruising, is it the same as self injury?

Happy belated birthday!

Well we had to do a book report so I just picked that one and it was good. Its about a girl who feels invisible.

I think sometime next week I can go. This is my last week of school. I don't want to go to my Gr.8 grad.

You have a Grade 8 grad?! Wow my sons went to Catholic school and they didn't even get a Grade 9 grad! As the school district didn't want to put SO much pressure on the students to buy expensive dresses etc.! I just realized that you are in Grad 8 and that SUCKED for me too!! Grade 9 WILL be better I promise!!! LOL

I had a Grade 8 grad!! Not a day to remember that's for sure!! Not that it was bad but yeah lmao But the after party was fun lol We went to a church where they handed out awards and our diplomas and stuff. And then after all the parents left and we went to a hall for lunch and a dance. We didn't have a Grade 9 one though, never heard of that! Here we just have a Grade 8 grad and then Prom in grade 12.

But yes, High school is way better then Elementary school! lol And you will make friends there I promise you!! But don't stress too much about your grad. It will be done and over with before you know it. And then school will be done and then you can be with your friends again, you just have to get by this week and its already almost over. Yay!! :)

Yeah I don't think I'm going to go. Do you have to though? because I really don't want to, there's like no point anyway. Like I'll go for the diploma part and that's it. I don't even know if my mom is going to be there or not. I wish school was already over.

I didn't know you guys started highschool in grade 9! My son didn't go to their little ceremony thing, you can show up for the diploma and then just sneak out! What are they going to do put it on your report card!!!? LOL If you don't want to go, don't! Just know honey that High School is usually FAR better - as there are different kids and everyone has finally matured etc. If your friendly enough they are friendly back, and things have changed a LOT since I was in highschool, I didn't hear of anyone being picked on when we were in highschool, and I know now that teachers and principles watch VERY closely for these things now! And there might be clicks etc. But if you are comfortable in yourself, you can be friends with different people - I did! I couldn't care less what click people were in! So just be you and relax about it!

Really!? That's so weird! What's it like where you live then!? Because where I live Catholic schools you go from Kindergarten all the way to Grade 8. Then you start High school in Grade 9 and go till Grade 12. If you in Public school, the you go from Kindergarten to Grade 5, and then have Junior High from Grade 6 to Grade 8, and then have High school from Grade 9 to Grade 12. So your elementary schools go till Grade 9 then!? That's so weird!!

And yeah, Grade 8 grad is nothing compared to Prom, well where I live it isn't anyway. So who cares really? If your uncomfortable then don't go. I wish I could have enjoyed mine, and I wish I didn't go to mine lol Mother nature had plans to ruin it for me. Not a good day!! lol Two more days and your done!! :)

I might just do that then.

Really. That sucked for you. I still haven't had my period yet. Well I don't think so but I'm not really sure.

And my mom won't really tell me how long I can go away for.

findingithardtobreathe: thats ok, i have not had my period yet at all either (im 19). and from what i hear, u r lucky to not have it :). i hear it sucks lol

Guest: i had the same problem for a little while, then today, i was able to log in. weird i know. did your friends mom say anything when she saw the cuts? how bad were they when she saw them and where were they? what i would do is make up a story to explain them, i do that if im caught off guard. also, sometimes it is better to just tell the truth and things go better in the long run. hope everything goes well.

The guest is me I still can't log in. And ya I am happy I don't have my period but I'm not really sure if I did get it before or not.

And I cut on my wrists. They weren't to deep and some were healing. I tried to wear long sleeve shirts to hide them but she kept wondering why I did that in the summer because its so hot and then she saw them and I got really scared. How else can you hide them? She talked to me and called my mom and I just told them I won't do it again but its so hard not to. What do I do?

Well, I can say i have cut on my wrist as well, my thigh, ankle, and stomach. I was not caught with any until i got baker acted recently and spent 16 days. I covered the cuts and scars on my wrist with lots of hair ties and bracelets. What also got me caught was wearing a jacket all the time(even in summer) and the fact that my hair was to short to put in a ponytail, so im not aloud to have more than 4 on at a time now.... I am monitored more closely now, been put on new meds, and have to go to a idiotic psychiatrist adn therapist. it is absolutly no fun!!!! I must tell you that anyone can baker act you if they see the cuts and then u will b in a psych unit for a mandatory 72 hours and u dont want that. If u can, keep from cutting as long as you can. I know it is hard as i am struggling with is as well. u can do it tho. And should you relapse and cut again, dont get upset or b hard on urself, it will b ok. I have gone back to it as well, but I try my hardest all the time. Do u have a supposr system? anyone to talk to or anything like ur parents or friends? anyone to talk to after you have cut to confide in? O BTW, I am very glad your cuts were not deep. if there is anything i can do to help u, i am here to talk and do all i can.

What is baker acted? I'm back home now and I don't want to be. And my mom doesn't understand why I cut and her boyfriend thinks there's something wrong with me. I hate it here. I really don't want to be here. Do you know where bambi27 is?

Baker acted is when someone is put in the hospital/psych facility for a mandatory 72hrs (3 days) and can be longer if the doctors think you are still a danger to yourself. anyone can baker act you ie. parents, friends, cops, ect. you def dont want to be baker acted. My parents dont understand y i cut either, and even when i try explaining it to them they dont get it. ur moms boyfriend doesnt sound at all like he is helping the situation either. is there anywhere else you can go to escape them? How bad is your cutting?... i do not know where bambi27 is, but try sending a PM.

Why do you cut or why did you? I don't do it all the time like sometimes I just get drunk so I don't have to think about things or a few times I took some pills. It just sucks. I'm not happy at all and I have no one.

I cut for different reasons. sometimes it is to control something as well as control pain (i have a lot of medical issues and pain), sometimes it is b cuz i am punishing myself for things that happened, sometimes it is to make me look on the outside how i feel on the inside. sometimes i do it to feel something and to feel alive, and other times i have no clue y i do it. i ised to do it at least once a day, but im doing it less now. the worst part is that I am not aware that i have cut tho until after it is done, then once i realise what i did i feel guilty and worthless. I have tried ODing many times, the 1st time i got caught i dies 2x and then once i was stablized they baker acted me and put me in a psych ward. just this past june i got baker acted for cutting over 100 times in one night and thinking about slitting my throat. i am glad i got the help tho, because i feel better now, i am happier, and i have a support system under me who are there to help me. people can not help or be there if they are not aware. how old are you? i just turned 19. what meds are you on and what are they for? i am now on a mood stabalizer and 2 antidepressants. how many people knoe that u cut?
