Resorting To Drugs
I have had a pretty ruff past I have been made fun of and beat up sense preschool and about a half a year ago I took a knife and cut my head trying to make myself bleed to death. My mom found me and took me to the ER I told her I didn't mean to. I got about 8 stitches. My mom i feel like im just some1 to show off to her friends a trophy if you will. She gets me everything I ever wanted. She has to high of expatations for me. And when I don't live up to them I Hate myself because of that. sense then I have fell into depression. I have been having breakdowns in the corner and either hitting my head on the wall in the corner or sticking needles into my arms. Lately I have turned to drugs. I get them from my friends who are druggys and smoke. I have tried Weed,Pot Crack,Meth,Tabaco,injecting pot,Beer, a little Whisky and I'm addicted to Smoking Cigarettes it takes alot of the pressure off and makes me feel rely good. Alot of my friends are boys and 3/4 of them have gotten in trouble with the law most of them for drug possestion. And I have gotten in trouble with the law to. I go to partys with my boys!( my friends that are boys I call them my boys) they are all older than me around 13-16. I have gotten into alot of fights my boys always are always backing me up at fights. And well I have just screwed up my life and I'm lost about what to do with it.

When you feel like you have "screwed up your life" and don't know what to do about it, the best thing is to ask for help, and that is exactly what you have done today.
Is there an adult in your life that you could trust with your emotions? If not an adult, do you have any friends other than "your boys", that you can talk to?
Is there a relative or perhaps someone at your church that you can talk with?
The way we get through tough times in our lives is to have a network of support, people we can turn to when we can't handle things on our own. Using drugs, alcohol and engaging in risky behaviors are ways to mask or cover up emotional pain or struggles, not ways to fix things or get on the right track.
Let us know who you are going to confide in. If it would be easier to talk to a stranger, there are Hotlines that are available at no cost that you could call. Many are 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Stay in touch and let us know how you are doing.
