For me, the first time I cut it was after school, my mom and sister were out and I was home alone, I dont rmeber much except that day I was bullied or something was said that day that just tore me apart from the inside. After I did it i cried for hours. It was the first time I cut but not the first time I SI. I didn't realsie it at the time, not until now which is 3 years later but as a younger kid I used to take pointy object and poke myself, and go really deep. It made me feel better that's all I knew, i didn't know it was bad. Until I saw degrassi and Ellie cutting herself and I finally figured it out and that's when cutting was introduced to me and I tried it and it felt liberating, at the time. Now im covered in scars. Not the worst thing to ever happen to me but will affect me the longest.

I didnt know self harm was bad, i didnt even really know what iit was until I saw degrassi but although it might have been my trigger, it was the thing that led me to get help.
