Pain and self harm
Self hate is something we all go through. Sometimes we don't even know we are doing it. Some have more self hate than others. When we go through self hate, we sometimes hurt ourselves. Some starve themselves because they hate their weight, Some people cut themselves because they hate the way they are living their life. I used to be the person who cut themselves. I used to think that making myself feel pain would make things better. Now I know differantly. It ruins your dreams, it ruins the way you spend life. Cutting doesn't make things better, It does the opposite. I'm writing this to tell you that if you even think about doing any self-harm avoid it at all cost. Lifes to short to waste even a minute of it. Find ways to enjoy it. I've learned that instead of cutting myself to get rid of a problem, to instead make fun of the problem. I've become one of the most funny, happy go lucky person at school by doing this. I now try to live life to the fullest. I share everything I have with others and I refuse to discriminate anyone due to their race, belifs, or ways of life. I enjoy helping others when they need it. All this because I decided to take a better path than pain. Others aren't so lucky. Some have ended their life because they were too late to stop. I am telling you now that, from personal experiance, that cutting or doing any self-harm is not worth it. Avoid hurting yourself and I promise life will get better.
