Jade & I were talking over IM (instant messenger) one night. She informed me that she had inteintionally cut her hip. I was utterly shocked. I turned on my Caps Lock, and was typing messages like: "WHAT? HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO YOURSELF?" She told me she had just said that to see how I would re-act. I let it go.
Things quited down, on my side at least. Jade's story was a bit different. A guess a girl at school found out that Jade had been cutting. Jade informed me during home-room. I immedittly snatched her wrist. Then I was told that she had cut on her hip. I let go. I was informed she was taking counsling, and thought I should stay out of it. But I couldn't stop caring. So I tagged along closely with her in her friends. Asking her if she was okay when she looked depressed.
One day during GT (Gifted & Talented) class, she asked me to be her therapist. I agreeded, but took that as a shock. One day I found out that she had made a new cut (after taking therpy from a professinal) and thought about the subject more. I made the site, hoping to let her, and anyone like her deal with it, while cutting, or recovering, or former 'cutters' to talk to others.
