"Self-harm, deliberate injury to oneself, typically done as a consequence of a phsycological disorder. That's what the dictionary says. But real life definitions are far more upsetting.

Over half of 11-14 year olds in the UK have self-harmed or know someone who has done so and recently, there has been a 70% increase in 10-14 year olds, mostly girls, going to A&E because of this..."

I continue with my end of year speech until I reach the end and everyone claps like mad at the end of it.

I am astonished - nobody would have done this a few months ago. But, now they see me as me - the human I always was.

Kissing my cheek, we walk out of the theatre and go wherever the road plans to take us.

No more rules.

No more bad friends.

No more bullies.

Just an open book, ready to be written in.
