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.
