From a book I'm reading now from 1998, 1,400 out of every 100,000 people in the US have done some sort of self-injury, but the numbers are growing.
Sometimes people do it as a way to try and block out their emotional pain. Some think that they "deserve" it so it's a way of punishing themselves. It may be to feel somewhat in control. The blood may comfort them...they may feel as if it's the only thing there for them. A high amount of people with eating disorders also self-injure. Sorry for writing a lot...I just felt as if I had to try and explain. *shrugs*

Guy: Her locker's down the hall, I've counted 17 from mine.
Girl: Does he see me? Does he even know that I'm close by?
Guy: We're in the hallway, always at half past nine.
Girl: Would he ever get to know me? Would he take the time?
[glow=brown]...Back in school they never taught us what we needed to know like how to deal with despair or someone breaking your heart...[/glow]

people who self injure don't necessarily have a low self opinion of themselves or have low self esteem .. i know that has nothing to do with why i've done it .. it's a release, it has nothing to do with how i feel about myself .. it's not a healthy way of dealing with your feelings but it's a way that works .. i'd rather take my frustrations and pain out on myself rather then out on someone else .. at least that's how i look at it.

Someone drove into the back of us while we were stopped at a mini roundabout on the way back from seeing the White Stripes. I think my friend's making me go to the hospital tomorrow, but I'll be ok in spite of ...
Did you go? Hope you're OK

I finished all my exams yesterday

I love how someone actually compared cutting one's wrist to a bad diet. Obviously that makes sense. Fucking retard.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

And he can't understand how everyone goes on breathing when true love ends, his mother whispers quietly... heaven's not a place that you go when you die, it's that moment in life when you actually feel alive
