If you are very scared and need someone to talk to right away, there are hotlines out there that can help you.

Here is a self injury hotline:
1-800-DONT CUT (1-800-366-8288)

Here is a depression and suicide hotline:
1-800-SUICIDE (1-800-784-2433)

These people are great at helping you work out your problems and start to find ways to help yourself if nobody else is available (in person, or nobody is online at the time).

I would love to help you if possible as well. What is giving you the urge to cut? Why have you been depressed? If you can get to the root of the problem and start to work through it you will feel really accomplished and the urge to cut should slightly go down.

Until then, there are many other healthier things you can do instead of cut yourself. For example, try using a rubberband on your wrist and snapping it every time you get the urge to cut. That way you get the pain, but its much less severe on your body and slightly better.

Im failing a few classes at school and im very affraid that i might not pass this year. If im not getting good grades or not keeping up with my work my parents wont let me go to karate. Karate is a good outlet for my anger so when im not able to do karate thats when things start falling apart. I have a few good friends from karate and school but i still always feel really alone and not important. At school im always being teased and bullied for no realy reason. When i get home things dont get much better. My dad is never really home but when he is he is always yelling at me or fighting with me he has also hit me a few times and left a few bruises. My mom dosnt help me much either. i fight with her allot to and she puts allot of pressure on me about grades but she dosnt really help. My parents fight with each other allot so thats kinda hard to deal with too. im really stressed out right now and im having a really hard time.
