My Self-harm Story ( Caitlin )

My Self-harm Story: Part 2 School

So I decided to leave primary school when i was in 6th grade, at the age of 13 and what did I do?

Cause if your not 16, you cant leave school right? So what did I do?

I decided to be homeschooled which mean someone ( for me, my mum.) at home teaches me.

So that what I did.

But it didnt go the way I thought it would, it was pretty hard with mum, still is.

This is my last year being homeschooled and I'm gonna go to a new school hopefully.  I need to get a few credits that I can't receive because I'm homeschooled at the moment.

Being homeschooled for me was and is still hard and lonely most of the time. It took a great toll on my mental and physical health.

I now suffer from self-harm, suicidal thoughts, anxiety and panic disorder and an eating disorder.

But I guess it did help me with my studies and help me really understand what I was doing in and with my schoolwork.

Homeschooling is not horrible, its its not lonely it is and was just lonely for me but I know lots of people that were and is homeschooled that have super friends and good relationships. I just wasn't granted with the gift of having that.

And remember this is my experience, not everyone deals with that when going to school to being homeschooled.
