I feel like i lost of all of them and i dont know how to get them back. I'm a very shy girl in school so that makes it even harder for me to reach out to people. So I'm really sad. I cut myself with a knife on my wrists. I just can't take my life anymore and I feel like no one cares about me anymore. I cut myself a couple days ago and I'm afraid it might happen again. Is cutting myself bad?

 I know how you feel I have been there but cutting is not a good thing at all cause it starts off small a cut here or there but soon it's not enough so you have to do more eventually it becomes life threatening so please keep away from the knife talk to your family about what is going on if you can't do that then you need to make a tripto a church and ask god for help you can do that from home too but being at the church is nice because there are people that are willing to help you will be there. If you have any questions about anything feel free to ask me or message me

dear ???,
I am 11 to and trust me i am going through the same thing. Its hard, verry verry hard. I sugjest that when you feel depressed just take a deep breath and calm down, It also helps to talk to friends and family about why you are feeling this way.

Hi.how are you today?i know what its like to be alone all of a sudden when you had friends and they turn their backs on you.its not easy.i even wanted to do stupid things and hang out with the wrong crowed.i was shy too.you must know there is nothing wrong with you,you are perfect the way you are,but to make yourself feel better you need to work on you confidence.maybe do something that you are good at.it doesnt matter how stupid that is.stop cutting yourself as that can cause a whole lot more problems and cause people to be on your case.speak to your mom about the problems you are experiencing.if she doesnt listen you keep talking and finding people you can trust until someone listens to you and helps you in the right and safe way.you have a beautiful spirit and anyone would be lucky to be your friend.those exfriends dont deserve you.remember you have a long beautiful life ahead,dont mess it up just because of some stupid friends.if you ever get a chance to be alone with one of the ex-friends,ask her what went wrong,dont be agressive with the question.just be nice,but remember you dont need them to be happy you just need yourself,your family and a smile.remember dont cut yourself,if you get the edge just use ice cubes to relieve the pressure instead of cutting.there is a lot of people who truelly care for you and love you.you are awsome and you will get better friends soom.

Im going to send you a few links to help but you must speak to an adult ok sweetpea!

reader, anonymous, writes (3 April 2008): Awww...you poor thing. Please, please don't cut yourself - it'll only make things worse. Why do you want to add more pain to what you're already suffering?
I know how hard it can be to just go up and talk to people when you're so self-conscious - a few years ago I was painfully shy too - but if you don't try to make friends then you'll never get them. You need friends - they make things better when you're down, they're there to help and support you, and in turn you can help them out - which is actually a great feeling!
Do people know thatyou are depressed? Your parents - do they know?
If it gets really really bad try to tell someone who you trust, i.e. parents or a close relative. They'd be devastated to hear that you don't feel like anyone cares. You will have people who care - I'm sure of it.
Life will get better for you so enjoy it hunny.
Please don't hurt yourself any more. x x x

 Cutting yourself hurts, pain is bad.
Tell your parents, you sound shy, so maybe you don't get along? It doesn't matter at this point, masicism (hurting onesself delibrately) is serious. You should go to consueling. I am about your age, as I turned 12 last feb. I know a lot of shy girls, and it sounds like you need more attention.
As for your friends, maybe they aren't that good a friends? I'm from england so I don't know how big your shcools are, so maybe there aren't enough people your age to choose? I have 128 people in my year, but I still feel lonely, as I stick out from everyone else.
I know this sounds whacky but have you thought about talking to your teacher? If you just started high then probs you don't know her. There's always another shcool - I think, maybe if it gets bad, you can just leave. Start a new shcool, and come in smiling, tell everyone how annoying everyone was at your old shcool. (Worked for me! ;)!) I was depresed when I was younger, I cried every day, because this girl bullied me, made others hate me. Then I moved to this shcool, I got moved up. I was better than her, my netball team beat her! I've moved shcools again, but I like to keep in touch with her, rubbing it in.
I think you should speak out, as ignorance is not an option anymore.
Heli,
PS. PM anytime, I thought I was the youngest on here!
