I WENT TO A SHOP THE OTHER DAY TO BUY SOME RAZORS FOR GENERAL USE(NO INTENTION OF S.I)
AND THE SHOP ASSISATANT WAS LIKE
"ER DO U HAVE ANY I.D?"
I WAS LIKE
"EH IM 20!!!"
THEY WERE LIKE
"EH ,SORRY U LOOK YOUNGER NO ID ,NO SALE"
THE MAN BEHIND ME WAS LIKE OMG,WHAT SHE GONNA DO,CUT HERSELF WITH A RAZOR,THINGS CANT BE THAT BAD CAN IT?"(JOKING WITH ME)
I JUST LAUGHED IT OFF

TO THINK THAT I USED TO BUY THEM FOR THAT V.REASON

I KNOW THERES A MORALE TO THIS STORY I JUST CANT QUITE THINK OF IT!!!

people like that suck.. they have no respect for those who are going through what they are going trough.

but you did good at laughing it off.. i would of snaped at him and said "what if i do SI, it doesn't make me a freak"

yeah these days you need I.D. to buy a lot of things like razors, paint, whiteout, and other things.

well, its b/c its a stigma that cutting is only something that teens do.. so they think hey, we can stop selling to kids then they wont cut. well, im 31.. what can they do to stop me? I would like to hear some of their brilliant ideas.

I went to the local hobby store the other day to buy something sharp (for the purpose of SI) and all i could think about was what if they asked me why i was just buying a packet of knife blades, i even considered buying some other useless stuf just to cover it up... turns out the woman behind the counter didn't even raise an eyebrow.

well done for laughing it off, i have no idea what i would have said...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
