I was once a cutter.I felt no one truly understood me and no one cared enough to try and understand. I started at thirteen my freshman year of high school. Life had taken a turn for the worst. my brother did drugs. there were police knocking, lawyer costs meant a small Christmas and birthday, to top it off my mom had lost her job. My stable world started crashing around me one piece at a time.It was almost like a permanent form of artistic interpretation to me. It sounds silly but that's the way it was. Once I had one cut its like I felt relief from my cluttered brain. But the relief never lasted long it soon came back and the need to cut got worse and worse. I realized I had a problem, and the only person who can fix that problem is me. So I stopped. I revealed it to my friends. Turns out I wasn't the only one struggling with this problem. The hardest part was telling my parents. But i did and they were understanding and supportive and me well... I stay healthy in crew, I'm on drumline, and well of course I no longer cut
