I am so hurt because of this. I feel like cutting and carving "Ugly" into my stomach...?

[Jasmine]

I am 18 years old. Just now on Facebook, this girl was playing the Inbox-me-a-number-and-I-will-tell-you-what-I've-heard-about-you game … Well, I decided to play and (my number was 1023).. She wrote, I've heard people pick on your forehead. That ruined my day. It's deformed a little and that made me hate myself a little more. I have been cutting on and off for 3 years and then, I feel like carving "Ugly" into my stomach or on some part of my body. I felt like nothing. I still feel like nothing. I can't handle this anymore. I always get picked on because I look different. People are so stupid these days! :'( I just feel numb all over. There was drama and I lost my best friend, I didn't get accepted to a college I applied for that I really wanted to go to, my family thinks I'm a failure in everything I do, I get compared to my brother who is straight As and THE perfect child,.. this is all too much and I can't TAKE it anymore. :'( I want to cut so bad right now. I don't know what to do. I found a gun in my Dad's drore .. I don't want to kill myself.. I just want to feel a lot of pain.. Somedays I DO want to but I'm too chicken to do it. :'/ I can't go on like this. I really can't. Help please? jasminenash79@yahoo.com

Your not ugly. Just turn to Christ, pray, and read the Bible.

EVERYONE ISN'T PERFECT... Just get off of face book and guys think that cutting is gross and weird

I am really sorry to hear your present predicaments. Please take some drastic steps to change your present mind-set.

Time, long-distance and lack of my own car are the main constraints to reach there and extend any help. Pl. excuse me.

Hi theres no way your ugly everyone is beautiful. and i know how you feel im 14 and I've been bullied for the past 8 years and still getting bullied today. They call me ugly all the time and all you do is pretend there not there. I just focus on school and having fun not the people around me. Please dont kill yourself when you move out get a job and move away as far as you want. You need to experience the happiness in life trying being alone one in a while it's nice. And try listening to your favorite band or artist but please dont kill yourself i will help you threw this.

You shouldn't be affected by what other people say, most of the time they say nasty things is to boost their own self-esteem. I bet that the person doing that facebook game is an orange-sluttish-whorebag who is insecure about herself and will ruin anyone's day just to make her feel better about herself.

Your parents just need to get over the fact that your brother is intelligent, everyone is perfect in their own ways. You probably have a talent that he cannot do. Education isn't always the answer to having a fulfilling career. You could be an actress, an author, a singer, a therapist. Self-harm never helps. Try punching-bags, shooting-games or people that are mean to you in order to project your anger out. Self-harm can only lead to more insecurities, and in future you wouldn't want to have your stomach showing in public if the word "ugly" is scarred all over it.

DON'T DO IT MAN!
You just said it yourself, that you don't want to kill yourself.

You might even need counseling. It may be hard to talk to someone about this, but if you're willing to come to Yahoo Answers with this problem, then you're probably willing to have someone listen to you so that you can just get everything off your mind.
My advice to you is to find an outlet for all this pent-up angst, something that you can use to vent your frustration, like basketball, drawing/painting, writing, or even walks in the park. I also advise you to think about how you feel that everyone thinks you're a failure, and then use that as motivation to prove them all wrong. Every human being is capable of greatness as long as their will to succeed is strong enough. Right now you may feel like you don't have that will, but all it takes is a reason to keep fighting, and that's your reason, to show everyone that you're not a failure, and you should NEVER let ANYONE try to tell you otherwise, got it?!

Suicide is a PERMANENT solution to TEMPORARY problems! Keep moving forward, keep getting better! We human beings were born to live and fight! I leave you with this motivational song:
