EMil​y was just 11 when she first cut herself. She was bullied at school

and couldnt take it anymore. She cut herlsef with a hair clip.  She said the next day she felt better but her arm had cuts all over it she hid it with make-up and long sleeve shirts. That was the only time Emily had cut herself until High School she got the urge to cut all the time the littlest things would trigger this feeling. Emily tried to get her mind off of things by looking into different types of music. Finally one night she couldnt take it and she cut her left arm and then her leg and her stomach she was cutting herself so deep that she passed out. One day when Emily saw a very skinny girl she had her mind set on looking like that. First she just didnt eat but finally she made up a diet 500 calories a day. When Emily saw what the changes in her and body were she reazlied she was killing herself on the inside and out.She seeked help from her parents and Drs.

​

Emily is still in treatment today and is doing much better with cutting and her eating disorder.

​Dont be like Emily. ​Learn from her mistakes she will have this with her forever and she will have those scars forever.
