I have been bullied since 3rd grade. People have called me fat and ugly. Even my own little brother, and it hurts. I have been cutting myself for almost 5 years, on my arms, my legs, my stomach, and my hips. People say I only do it for attention and that I'm a slut just because I kissed my boyfriend at school last year. I only kissed him on the forehead, but someone started a rumor that i kissed him on the lips, which I hadn't. It didn't take long for people to start saying that it was a boob-squeezing, eating-each-others-faces kind of kiss. I had been acting completely blocked off from everyone, so my best friend took me into the bathroom and made me tell her what was wrong. I told her that I cut and she went hysterical and made me promise to stop. I promised, but I didn't stop. I wore a jacket every day, so i got really hot. One day, I made the mistake of taking off the jacket and hoping no one would notice. Well, my best friend did notice. She told the counselor, but she wasn't the only one. The counselor had been getting reports all day about me. The counselor called me in and tried to talk to me. I didn't say a word to her. She called my parents and my dad talked to me later that afternoon. Of course, i didn't stop, I just found different places to cut. When they found out, I had only been cutting on my arms. After, I started with my legs, and hips, and stomach. My best friend doesn't know about me still cutting, and I hope she doesn't find out. I have found 5 friends of mine also cut, so we all try to support each other. Hey you bullies out there? Words hurt. Keep that in mind.
