Alright, I really don't want to come off sounding snobby or like a bitch or anything like that, but... I'm not going to cushion my opinion for your sake. I'm sorry, but I just won't. I really do think it sounds like you are a little young to be thinking all of these terrible things. I mean, sure, you might THINK you're depressed, but look at the world around you, look at all the people there. I'm sure there is at least someone out there who you can make friends with. And as for your boyfriend here, 11 years old is really REALLY young to be thinking about true love and all that crap. Look on the bright side of life, and don't start cutting yourself. To me it sounds like all you really want is an escape: one you have no idea about, nor about the consequences of. I'm sorry if I'm talking down to you or it seems like that, but.. please, you don't know what you are saying you want to do. Oo, you want to cut yourself. Yeah, that makes you depressed, that makes you strong and whatever it else it is you're searching for. You have no idea what you're saying, no matter what you think. You don't know what cutting is.. sounds to me like you just want attention and that you're exaggerating. What are you thinking? You obviously have no respect for the type of mutilation it causes to oneself. You're practially insulting the rest of the world of cutters out there. I'm sorry. I don't mean to offend anyone who does cut, because I, too have no idea what it is about or where the gratification comes from, but you are ELEVEN YEARS OLD! If you think you have problems now, then you are never going to be able to face the world, because you know what? It's ugly. It's hard. It's scary. And from here on, it sure as hell doesn't get easier. If you think you can solve it by cutting yourself, then you really really should go find someone like a counsellor to talk to or even a teacher or your parents. So, like everyone says, try to ENJOY life while you are still able to without having any other cares in the world. Make friends. Giggle. Play tag. Have crushes other than the boy 8 hours away. There are hundreds of other fish in the bowl, it's just a matter of opening yourself up and actually letting people in. I also moved from my old house at nearly the same age as you, I was not far away from them, just cut off. I for a while didn't want to make friends, didn't see the need. But after a while you realise that you'll make friends who you'll be happy to have. Maybe they're not the same as those you knew 8 hours away, but that's what will make them unique and special. Things change. Life changes. We just have to deal with it. And that is not through cutting yourself. I'm sorry to keep POUNDING this into your head, but it is just wrong for someone your age to even fathom that idea. There are hundreds of other alternatives: making friends, talking to someone, keeping in touch with your old friends. I could go on for hours about this, but I think you've got the point. Just think about what we've all said here... take it to heart before you go doing drastic things like harming yourself.
