This is an authors note. I just want to say I have had trouble with cutting and if you do or know anyone who is dealing with this problem. Get help or get them help. I thought nothing could help me. I was embarrassed of what I was doing to my body but, I made the mistake of wearing shorts thinking they were healed enough. A teacher say them and told the counselor. I'v been talking to her for months and when I wrote this story I was still cutting. I haven't cut for three months and I'v thrown away the blade. I suggest you to move on and do the same. Bruised and cuts will heal. The memories and scares won't. Don't start and don't continue.
