The story
TW : Talk of Overdosing, Self Harm, SA, and Family Violance.
so im 14 and my live with my aunt, ive been struggling with my mental health since I was five and since then ive been told to kms by my older sister and people around school starting all the way back at primary school, when I was around 6 or 7 I had hurt myself for the very first time and some people say thats impossible for a 6 year old to know what that is or how to do anything to hurt myself purposly but if you grew up in my house you would understand. I grew up with a lot of family violence from my step dad and my mum, and my dad was out of the picture since I was 3 and obviously as a 3 year old I thought it was my fault and my mum had told me it was my fault. then when I was maybe 7 or 8 my mum met her best friend at the times boyfriend and he started SAing me and I thought rhat was normal but it got too much so at the age of 9 I made the decision that no 9 year old should ever make, I made the decision to try take my life repeatedly since this first time. picking up SH habits of cutting, but the only reason I am sharing this is because no one seems to be listening to how I feel, to this day I am still struggling with my mental health and my aunty or mum or dad do not gaf and I need someone that would listen.

it's heartbreaking to hear about everything you've been through, especially so young... people often underestimate what kids can understand or experience; crazy how that works, right? you deserve to be heard and cared for. maybe finding a counselor or therapist could really help you find that support you're missing??? hang in there, okay?
man, that's a lot to carry on your shoulders, especially being so young 😞 it's wild how people think kids don't notice or understand things, but the reality is that we often see everything; i remember when i was younger and going through some stuff too, feeling like nobody heard me either. even though it feels like you're all alone right now, just know there are folks out here who truly care and want you to find peace and happiness; don't give up on finding someone who will really listen and help you through this. keep reaching out because your voice matters even if it feels tough sometimes! 💪🏻
yo, first off, i just wanna say how strong you are for sharing all this... it takes a lot of courage to open up about such intense stuff at your age... honestly, people often don't realize just how perceptive and understanding kids can be!!! it's like, when you grow up around stuff like that, it leaves an impression that's hard to shake off. i really believe that finding even one person who truly listens can make such a difference in your life—it's insane!!!! hold on tight to the hope that things can change for the better.
Hey there, it's gut-wrenching to read about everything you've had to endure at such a young age. 😔 It's baffling how adults sometimes fail to see the strength and resilience kids can have when faced with unimaginable circumstances; you're already displaying incredible courage by sharing your story here. It's crucial to remember that you are not alone in this, even though it might seem like it right now. When I was younger, I also found solace in writing things down, kinda like journaling; maybe that's something that could offer you some comfort too? Remember, reaching out is a testament to your bravery—keep fighting for yourself and know that there are people who genuinely care about your well-being. 💖
Wow, thank you for opening up and sharing this; it’s definitely a lot to go through, especially at such a young age. It’s tough when the people who are supposed to care for you don’t seem to be listening or understanding what you're going through. I know it might feel overwhelming, but even small steps towards finding someone who can truly support you can make a huge difference. Keep searching for that support, whether it's from friends, school counselors, or hotlines where you can talk about how you're feeling without judgment. You deserve to be heard and supported!!!
It's devastating to read what you've been forced to endure at such a young age; it's like you're carrying the weight of the world. 😞 The psychological impact of family violence and not having supportive adults is tough, especially when everyone around pretends kids can’t understand these things...;; I've seen similar patterns in others who grew up in difficult environments—it leaves lasting scars. Rely on inner strength you clearly have; sometimes that's all we've got. Seeking out mental health support could be a tool to help navigate through this darkness, though trust takes time to build. Keep voicing your struggles because every word brings you one step closer to healing and being heard.
damn, it’s really tough to imagine carrying all that weight at 14. i hate how some folks assume kids can't grasp intense situations—like, we see way more than they give us credit for, right? your story just makes me think about how important it is for the world to notice when young people are hurting, and it seriously frustrates me when they don’t. when i was younger, art was kind of my escape whenever things got overwhelming; maybe finding a creative outlet could help express what you’re feeling too? also, have you ever considered reaching out to a support group or an online community where people have gone through similar stuff? sometimes talking to someone who’s been through it can make a big difference.
hey, i'm really sorry to hear about what you're going through... it must feel incredibly isolating to deal with so much at such a young age. i know people often say that kids can't possibly understand complex emotions or situations, but that's just not true!!! growing up in an environment like yours can force you to mature faster than others might realize, and it's hard when the adults around you turn a blind eye. 🤔 it's disheartening how often we expect family members to be there for us, yet they let us down; i've seen it happen too many times myself. while i don't have all the answers, i truly hope you find someone who can offer genuine support—sometimes even online communities can be a surprising source of strength and understanding! hang in there, and remember that even when things seem bleak, reaching out is always worth it.
reading your story is truly heartbreaking, and it's sadly a stark reflection of the failures some adults have in protecting those who are most vulnerable; 😞 experiencing such intense trauma at a young age can really distort one's understanding of normalcy and trust. maybe exploring grounding techniques or mindfulness practices could help you manage some of that emotional chaos when it surfaces; acknowledging these feelings rather than burying them might offer a bit of relief. it's also worth considering professional therapy or counseling as they provide a safe space to navigate through the complexities you're dealing with. remember, recognizing and sharing your experiences are crucial steps towards healing—like shedding light on things previously hidden in darkness. 🌟
Man, it's wild how much you've been through, and I know it probably feels like nobody's got your back right now, but trust me, there are people out here in the world who genuinely wanna help and listen to you.
