i have SIing since i was 8yrs old and now i am 14. Satistics show 1 in 10 teenage SI in one way or another in there time between 13-19 also the people most at risk to SI are women between the ages of 14-19. so what i dont understand is why this isn't a matter that is talked about at school at all and i have never once been eduacted on the matter and yet people wonder why it is so comman.
Teachers see my scars and never think to mention on it but it a teacher over hears that you have ever consumed drug or alcohol illgeally or smoked under age they have to inform your parent. Whats the difference? they complain about SI but they dont do any thing to prevent SI at such a young age. sorry for the rant. |

Hi X, welcome. Yeah, I hear you. I'm really sorry to hear that you have been struggling. Are you in therapy?

i see posts here by people who have stopped SI'ing, but i can't say their names,, i hope you keep posting til they see you, and maybe they can help you find a way out... you're right , that the really serious things are hidden, never noticed, or not talked about,,, that's for behind closed doors... hope you find help soon~ Best Wishes ,,, Gus

i think they dont talk about it cos they dont know how to handle it
its a difficult thing to stop - do you want to stop? there are some stickies at the top of the forum that may help you if you want to stop I guess for me - first i had to work out why i did it - the reason behind the reason ..... If you ahve a school counsellor maybe you could talk to them or ahealth education teacher and ask them if it can be brought up take care and stay safe P7
