My Life: A Dramatic Narrative

7 weeks

8/11

I'm 7 weeks clean.

That's a major accomplishment for me. The longest before was 4 weeks. So I would like to thank everyone who supports me. I love you all.

No one really knows how I started so I'm going to finally tell.

In sixth grade, I found out my friend, Zach, had cut and h was depressed. I was saying and tried helping him and the lot.

That was when I was introduced to the concept of self-harm.

That summer, I had gone into a deep depression over the terrible breakup of Brent and I.

I had remembered what Zach had done and I was appealed to the idea. So I scratched my inner arm with my nail raw.

In seventh grade, Zach was the very reason I cut again. And has been the reason throughout most my year seven experience.

My scars have faded but I am still reluctant and scared to open up my heart because of Zach and Brent.

That is my story.
