I want to be skinny so much it hurts. I look at one of my friends who is skinny; she eats loads of junk food every day and never the right foods, and never ever puts on weight. I envy her for that. But when it comes to me, i eat the right food and still don’t seem to loose any weight. Sometimes I wish I had anorexia just people would start paying more attention to me.

Teenagers are more likely to be depressed if they spend a lot of time listening to music, while teens who read a lot are less depressed, according to new research.
So does that mean that My Chemical Romance is bad for your health? Or that multiple replays of “The Catalyst” by Linkin Park will push an adolescent from moodiness to mental illness?
Not necessarily.

I don’t even want to sleep in my brother’s room tonight.
I don’t know what to tell him after what he did. I can’t even comprehend.
For all those who self-injure, cut, or self-abuse: this one’s for you.
This is so fucked up, but so interesting to think about at the same time: why does it feel so good to destroy something beautiful? Think about it? You spend all day making a beautiful sand castle, hours and hours of work, and before you leave, you stomp all over it, kick the sand and just wipe it all clean. You spend hundreds of dollars on something, yet you know the feeling of just throwing it against the wall, hard or shattering it into a million pieces would feel so good? Digging that knife into your beautiful arm, or side feels amazing, and the scars feel even better. Why?
This is a flaw in our human design. Aka: Human Nature. Those who have suffered are afraid of happiness. This is because in those moments when everything is destroyed around you, you are comfortable. You know that nothing else can hurt you. And you will never be in fear of happiness because you don’t have it.
For all the people who cut, all the people who self-injure, or self-abuse, this post is for you. You are not a prisoner of your past. You are not trapped by those moments and memories you depend on. You are new each time that sun rises and change each time it sets. You are beautiful, and are not worth it because you will find happinessthat is worth keeping. But you’ll only find this once you realize that you, yourself; are beautiful, and your own happiness is worth keeping.
We all have scars. But never look at these things as signs of pain. Remind yourself each time you look at them, that they are signs that you are still alive even to see them. These scars are symbols of survival. You are strong. You are beautiful. And you deserve all the happiness you create for yourself. You are loved.
