i understand, you know when i self harm, i look at my arms and see that they don't look big enough and that makes me cut myself harder and more times. Its confusing because all the time i think why am i doing this?

Sometimes talking to an adult doesn't work out, i know. The person i told when behind my back to tell various people

i don't think your weird, however you have to understand that self harming is not the best way forward and you should try and look at this persons scars with less jealousy and concentrate on getting better, i say this but i know how hard it is.

i have also cut myself in class and i know that when you feel that impulse you feel you have to do it.

Obviously you ffel like you can't talk to adults, but i wonder have you tried wearing an elastic band or squeezing ice. alternativly have a bath or go for a run, for me, this sometimes helps.

i really hope you manage to sort this out, its harder if you don't have any support. Do try and find someone to talk to, but i know you've tried and it didn't work out.

i hope you've found this a bit helpful and good luck

Whenever I got the feeling to cut in class, I just started doodling or threw myelf into the work we had been given. It took my mind off wanting to cut and it helped in the school work, maybe it would work for you?

I don't think you are weird for wanting your scars bigger than somebody elses, I saw my friends and she had very bold ones so I started to copy her. Eventually I realised this wasnt the way forward and tried to cut down on the amount of cutting I did, I know it probably sounds a bit silly but it really helped me to stop.

I really hope this helps
