Dear Ashley,

I'm a cutter. I think people know about it, but they don't. I wear long sleeves to school but it's always cold in our classrooms so no one ever comments. 

I started because a friend told me that it helps relieve the pain. I do it when i'm stressed. My parents say what do you have to be stressed about? You're a kid. People don't know how hard it is to be a kid in 2018. 

I hate school. My teachers hate their job. Other students are rude and disrespectful and people talk about bullying like it isn't an issue. I hate my life but cutting helps me manage. I know if I died my Mom would be sad so I guess i'm here for her. Idk why I wrote this. Just don't think cutters are stupid, okay? 

Sincerely, 

Anonymous
