It's easier to floss with barbed wire than admit you like someone in middle school.

Each reader has to find her or his own message within a book.

I wish adults would spend less energy freaking out about the cutting itself and work harder to understand what drives kids to self-harm.

They say they have noticed me drawing. I almost tell them right then and there. They noticed.

Puke and starve and cut and drink because you don't want to feel any of this. Puke and starve and cut and drink because you need an anesthetic and it works. For awhile. But then the anesthetic turns into poison and by then it's to late because you are maintaining it now,straight into your soul. It is rotting you and you can't stop.

I doubt trees are ever told to 'be the screwed-up ninth-grader.'

Some adults would rather pretend that bad things dont exist than to talk about them.
