I am actually a 12 year old girl who has just started secondary school.
I needed to ask someone who was a mum, but not my mum, cos I really don't know what to do, and this way I can get it all out.
I have been self harming for about 6 months, and I think I could be depressed. I have considered running away several times before I started cutting and burning myself. At the weekend I planned suicide as well. No one in my family knows about any of this.
I used to love learning and living, but now I don't see the point in any of it, I don't have a good future so there's no point.
I really need help before I plan my escape again, so PLEASE help me, and don't just say talk to your mummy
