There's a girl... She doesn't know how to handle things. Everything's spiraling out of control... Sometimes she can convince herself she's not really alive... Maybe she's in a nightmare... And she just can't wake up? You would never guess her secret if you knew her. She hides it so well... She seems so happy... Do you want to know her secret?

She cuts herself. She doesn't know why. And she doesn't understand why she resolved to it. But one thing she does know... She can't stop. But why?
When she feels out of control... Overwhelmed with emotion... Cutting helps her calm down and able to think... But at the same time... She feels so numb... Empty... Cutting helps her feel alive even for a minute.
She didn't have an easy childhood. There was arguing. Always giving... Never receiving. And she never felt good enough... Important enough... "Who would care if I self-harm? Everyone's better off without me."
That's what she told herself each day. She was everything she despised. Sometimes she would sit in her room crying... A razor blade in her hands at the ready... Hearing the laughter from downstairs... She'd never felt more alone... And yet no one noticed?
She just wanted a hug... Someone to love her and tell her everything's going to be okay... And that they care. So why didn't they?
Sometimes she thought about dying. Just taking a load of pills... And ending everything. She would never do it, but sometimes she really wanted to. Who would care after all...right? She was only 12. A lonely and misunderstood girl.
By the time she was 13... Her body was covered in scars and cuts. She just wanted to be loved. Was that too much to ask? She always tried to be everyone else's idea of perfect... That she was completely lost who she was.
She lied to her friends and family. Just so she wouldn't see the tears of disappointment in their eyes. She wanted someone to understand... To care...
But it didn't happen. Who knows if she ever escape from self-harm? Who knows if anyone ever cared for her?
One day, you might realize you've known her all along... That bubbly girl who tells you her cat scratched her... Could be hiding it all under a smile. She wants someone... Needs someone.
There's a girl. Do you want to know her secret? She self-harms. So help her. 'Cause that's all she wants... needs.
Can you guess who she is?
