My stepdad feeds my neighbors cat because they are on vacation
I decided to go with him so I could pet the cat
He told me it was mean and I was like naww
So I saw it an it was a really adorable calico with huge green eyes
I let her smell my hand and she gave me a sign of approval by rubbing her head against my hand
so I started to pet her saying to my stepdad "This is such a nice ca-"
I was stopped in the middle of my sentence by the cat scratching and biting my hand at the same time
The whole sentence went something like this:
"This is such a nice ca-owwww never mind!"
My hand started bleeding in 3 places and holy fluff it burned
Over two million Americans self harm...
Many people think that we are just sick.
But we all release pain in our own sick way.
Drinking, bullying, screaming at loved ones, drugs, fighting, road rage, cheating/affairs, stealing, eating disorders/anorexia. The list goes on and on.
Our method just leaves the scars to prove it.
And unfortunately it works.
Cutting yourself releases endorphins a "natural high".
It feels so good for the moment.
But the pain returns and the scars don't leave.
We become more ashamed because of the things people say.
All we want to do is do it again and again,
to show them that they cant change what we do no
