I've heard so many people tell those who suffer depression to just 'cheer up.' I wonder if they can really believe that it's that simple.

My Silver Writes In Red
She looks into the mirror a frown upon her face
Her parents didn't notice; their worries? Not a trace.
She walked into her bedroom and laid down on the floor.

It has caused many deaths and should NOT be joked about. I myself am a self harmer in the process of quieting. It's hard after so many cuts, it becomes an addiction. Those of you who say it's 'gay' or 'stupid' or 'fucked up', YOU ALL CAN GO FUCK YOURSELVES!!! I'm tired of the constant abuse to self harmers like myself. The constant name calling and other bullshit that we go through just pushes us further to the point of suicide. I even have thought of committing suicide... twice... So please leave us
just the average girl with a lot of things i hide... but ill tell all on here coz no one knows who i am on a secret account... from England oh and i have a passion for horses and riding
I DONT ALWAYS SAY THANKS FOR THE FAVES BUT PLEASE KNOW I'M VERY GRATEFUL!
i felt so awkward because my thursday tutor doesnt know i self harm... and he said to the class
'but no one wears long sleeves in summer... well maybe those emo freaks who slit their arms open for attention do but no normal person does'
