||every day I have to go through school, its not like I get bullied or anything, but I don’t have a good friend to rely on anymore and everyone just…stares. Like im a fucking alien. I haven’t truly tried kms but…I scratch myself, force blood from not going to my finger, and I just…self harm, ig. Idk what to do. I feel like im being rlly selfish tho since people have a lot more issues then some stupid kids||
#I feel sick

Just because you are a child does not mean your struggles are any less valid. The world often fixates on the idea that only adults are able to have problems, "You are a still a kid, the biggest problem for you is going to school, I have to pay bills and take care of you!" but the reality is everyone has struggles, i too struggled greatly as a child, differently than you, but i still had suffered, i also have used self-harm as a means to cope with it all, or punish myself for daring to claim that i suffered at all. Your struggles are as valid as any other, young age just makes it all the more tragic because we were not meant struggle so hard so young.
There are hotlines that can help you, if you need them, and do not let yourself believe "Oh, what i deal with is nothing, someone else needs it more than me..." because that is simply not true, you deserve to get help just as much as any other, regardless of your age or situation.
I feel like the hotlines track you and I dont rlly want that
But ty
If i cannot convince you to trust in a hotline, then i can only ask you this...if i were a child again and came here to tell someone my troubles, would you think my issues were invalid simply because of my age? Or would you see them and believe that my pain is just as justified as any other?
If you would see my words and weep and call what happened to me an injustice, then at least allow yourself the same compassion and validation.
I’m sorry , I know that can really suck, I hope everything gets better, we are all proud of you for being here, and doing the best you can !
