Why do you feel staying with your boyfriend who beats you is a good thing I dont understand.
When you are at home, is the act of being happy and stuff due to you being around your family?
Please get away from the abusive situation--you dont deserve to be hurt at all.
Hey, I know I already replied to this, but I forgot to add the numbers you can call. Here they are:
1-800-DONTCUT (This hotline is sponsered by S.A.F.E -Self Abuse Finally Ends- and provides alternatives and offers a list of therapists around the country who help self-injurers.)
1-800-668-6868 (This is Kids Help Phone and is completely anonymous- it won't appear on the phone bill and they don't trace calls- the only draw-back is it's for only Canadians. I don't know if you're Canadian or not, so I added it.)
1-800-SUICIDE (1-800-784-2433)(A suicide help line)
1-800-448-4663 (Youth crisis line)
1-800-785-8111 (General crisis counselling)
1-800-333-SAFE (Domestic abuse/assault)
1-800-4-A-CHILD (The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline. It providesconfidential, toll-free assistance.)
Also, here is a site that has many links in it that have many phone numbers you can call:

Hey, I said in my post that I already replied to this, and I did. But it erased my post! I'm so sorry about that, I don't know what I did! I just basically said that, you're not alone in self-injury, I do it too. That you have to get out of the gang. Talk to a trusted adult, and don't be afraid to get the police involved! And about your boyfriend abuse, get help because it's NEVER okay. Talk to an adult, or a counsellor.
Best of luck,
Leanne
