I need you to know
something; you are capable of being a lot happier. I
understand what you're going through and I'm not
going to tell you to stop because saying that would make me
the biggest hypocrite ever. But you are so wonderful. I
honestly do not understand how you don't see that. Your
flaws are what make you, you. Everyone has them. You are so
beautiful, and lovely, and caring. I hate knowing you're
fighting this. I hate knowing you've cut again. But I
know you are stronger than an urge. Yes, you gave in, but
doesn't everyone? Whether it's trying to stay away
from chocolate and sneaking a hershey bar or trying to get
out of a drug habit and taking some pills. It's all the
same. Obviously, the intensity is different. And what
you're having to deal with is bullshit for a teenager to
put up with. I'm not going to say it is okay that you cut
again, but it is. I'm not justifying anything. You
shouldn't have, but we can't go back. We just have to
deal with the consequences. I know you're not going to
appreciate seeing these marks on your arm, legs, stomach, or
wherever you did it. You can fight this. You're stronger
than any urge that's going to come along. You can do
it.
