In reply to: Ali 's message, "Ok..." on 15:00:45 01/07/02 Mon

As Ali said, don't cut yourself. It's extremly hypocritical of me to say something like that, as I know personally how it feels to mutilate myself, but it's not the right choice. I think the desire for cutting yourself is really just a subconcious desire for attention [I belive that in myself as well]. It's also unhealthy. If you absolutely must cut yourself, keep away from the veins. Suicide is painful to those who love you. Now, with that said, on to some real advice. You're only 11 and you've got a great life ahead of you. Don't worry about boyfriends right now. You've got your entire life to find the right guy and everything, and romance should be the least of your worries right now. As for your friends, I know it hurts. For the first 10 years of my life, I moved to a new city every year, and was never able to keep in touch with all my friends. Then from the age of 10-14 I lived in the same place, and grew really tight bonds. Then my parents moved me across the entire country, where I live now. I know exactly what you're going through, but as long as you can keep in touch with your friends, it will be ok. I as never able to keep friends when I moved, and it caused me to become a loner. The way I think about it is like this: I have aweesome awesome friends online that mean a ton to me, and even though I've never seen them or met them in person, they are still just as close to me as some of my friends at school. Your friends can be kept like that as well. While yes, the bonds will weaken, there is no reason why you guys can't stay friends. Not to mention you can make new friends. While yes, it does hurt, you can easily get through this. Just keep your chin up. I hope everything gets better for you.
