Life had gotten hard
15 year old female
When I was 14 I started self harming, mainly because life had gotten so hard. After 6 months of keeping to myself, I told a friend that things weren't okay. She already knew that something was wrong and she became very supportive. In the following months I told her it was over and I had stopped, but I actually hadn't.
A year on, I have told a group of very close friends, and to my surprise I found out that they had similar experiences. My friends became very supportive and I would recommend anybody who is going through a difficult time no matter how serious or minor, just talk it through with someone and think about how your actions affect the people around you.
