Are you smoking tobacco? Even tobacco at your age, is very bad and can stunt your growth. You're literally turning your pink lungs black and they're not even adult size yet. SI is another habit that is very hard to manage. Be honest with your mom and let her know what's happening. What's bothering you, where you feel you need to SI??

Smoking is addictive, so it can be difficult (but not impossible) to stop even if you want to. Self injury can also have addictive qualities. Meaning the longer you do it, the more you have to do it to get the same effect that you once got with less. It is also difficult to stop. You may need help to stop both of these behaviours. Both are unhealthy. Self injury is indicative that something is beyond your control that you are trying to control by hurting yourself. There are many underlying reasons behind self injury, you can discover what is behind yours if you have a qualified mental health professional who can help you get things under control. I know you are young. So you need an adult's help to get the ball rolling. If your parents are the type of parents you can talk to, you need to start there. If not, talk to a favorite teacher at school or a school counselor. Or an aunt, a grandma, a friend's parent...someone who you trust that is an adult. The earlier you stop with self injury and smoking, the better. I'm not "preaching at you" I have a long self injury history, I wish I would have had the encouragement and the courage to talk to someone when I was young so I didn't suffer so long.

You are so young. Do you feel like something happened in your life to make you so upset with yourself? This may be a medical problem if not. You need to ask your parents to take you to a doctor and let them know about you smoking and cutting. If you dont feel comfortable with tell them talk to your councelor at school. You are special and dont let anyone tell you different. You deserve to have a happy life. Please seek help from an adult that you feel comfortable with. I will be thinking about you. Take Care!!!
