Special Quotes for Cutters Ch~9~

This chapter goes out to anybody cutting. It's not gonna be like "75% of people who get help stop cutting" or any of that bullshit. I hate when people say that, too. I'm not going to say that I'm here for any you guys who cut because I know you're probably not going to come talk to me.

If this chapter makes you cut again, or makes you sad enough to cry and cut, please don't. There are going to be "That's so true" quotes in here that will make you remind yourself about why you've cut, and I apologize in advance. Just think twice before you pick up the razor/needle/knife/scissors, okay? 

Enjoy! I might put some facts about cuts on here, as well.

443. Myth: Self-harm is a suicidal act.
