Hey there!

Hey, I'm Kate and I'm just some high school student who became a listener on this site. I don't have much of a story, kind of the usual thing. I was born a baby in a family to parents and have 5 siblings and a dog. We live in this generic house in the suburbs and my dad has a great job and is a great man. I became depressed when I was a freshman in high school and began to self harm. I was at the point that I would look forward to every Thursday night because those were the nights I set aside to cut. I stopped myself after about a year of this and have grown since. I know it is clichhen people are always saying that "it gets better" but I can honestly say that eventually you will grow and forget about this time and how you felt. That person who you really like but doesn't like you right now won't matter when you are 35 years old and sitting on the couch with your husband watching your kids run around the room. That bully will get what is coming to them and you will be able to see them change as all people eventually do. Your parents will fight you now but 10 years from now, your mom could be your best friend and your dad could be paying for your wedding.I was suicidal and now I have a boyfriend who I can talk to about anything and a best friend who was there for me in my time of need. You can do this, just stick through it!
