Stuff Going On

Lalalove123, 17

At home I get picked on by my mom every day. Nothing I do is ever good enough for her. Over the years it has gotten worse and I started feeling worthless and cutting myself. Eventually I got help and started going to counseling and my cutting got a little better. School became my getaway and my safe place. Lately though, I have been getting picked on their too by people who are supposed to be my friends. Now I feel like I have nothing left and nowhere to go to feel safe. I started cutting more often and deeper. I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do anymore.

Please help.

Lalalove123, you aren't alone. When the places that one calls home or that should be comforting are taken away, it can be frustrating. It's good that you're reaching out.
Sometimes no matter how hard one tries, it just isn't enough to please everyone. It's a tough place to be. You need to focus on what will make you better first and foremost.
It sounds as though counseling worked for you in the past. It might be a good idea to talk to someone again.
You are not worthless. You are a person with feelings and needs just like everyone else. Cutting isn't the solution, and you know that already.
Sometimes friends can be harsh. You can rise above it and show them your worth. You know that you can get through this because you've done it before. It's another hurdle to get over.
If you need to talk to someone when things get hard, you can call Child Help USA at 1-800-422-4453. They are available 24 hours a day.
