OK, firstly self harm is very serious and it is not a joke, there are many types of self harm for example; cutting, burning, drug abuse,punching/hitting, head banging. ect. There are so many different types of self harm but they all do the same thing, they all allow you to relax and forget about what's going on in your life. Well that's what you think but it doesn't trust me I would know.
When I was younger I use to self harm, because I hated myself as I use to get bullied all the time, but even though I knew what I was doing was wrong. I didn't care because it was the only thing in my life at that point that I could control. But it didn't last long, after a while I lost control, and I would abuse myself constantly over any and every little thing. Instead of me controlling it, it controlled me, and I regret that I let it everyday of my life.
Listen, I'm not making this up, everything I write is always true, I don't write for attention, I write because I know what its like. I have been bullied, I have been abused, I have been what your going through so please understand. I'm writing this because I care.
So please don't self harm because it will take over your life.
