Sometimes I will cut myself but Don't worry not to serious. I'll just get something sharp like a Carpisun straw or a broken paper clip. But, Mostly the carpisun straw.

hello Evelyn
life has been harsh on you, no doubt about that. but it has been harsh on a lot of them out there. and a majority of them had been able to cope up with the difficulties and become successful in life. so i m sure you would too.
i would advice you to get in touch with a trust-able caretaker as soon as possible, may be your parents, guardian, school teacher..any one; and share your feelings and thoughts with him or her. you need professional attention from a psychiatrist, and you need that urgently. i am sure with that, you will get back a good life. and remember, life is always worth living.
wish you all the best.
