Your Life Isn't That Bad

OK, this has seemed to be something new that has popped up with two of my friends, who we'll call X and Y for identity purposes. X and Y are both girls. I've known X since 6th grade, and I met Y this year. Now, Y has always annoyed me. Y was one of those girls who laughed way too hard at everything, got way too close to you when she talked, and didn't smell particularly good. However, I dealt with it, because I didn't want to be a jerk.

Now, X has always had problems with making her life seem over-dramatic. It's just been one of those things that I put up as well. But, it eventually stopped, and we continued with our lives. Now, as freshmen in high school, it has started to kick back up again. Don't ask me why, because I don't know.

So now, Y begins to dress, "emo poser", I guess is what you'd call it. (however, I find those two terms to be redundant.) So, we're all waiting at the beginning of school for the homeroom to start, and my other friend tells me that Y is cutting herself. So, I ask X about it, and she calls Y over. Y then promptly shows me her "cuts", which were no more then H.I.M heartagrams scratched into her wrists. As she walks away, I roll my eyes and go into homeroom. Come lunch, I find out that Y has been telling everyone that she cuts herself. Having had a serious problem with cutting in 7th grade, I was pissed beyond my mind, and I began to tell her about how severly I used to do it, and how ashamed of it I was. The kicker is, there's nothing wrong with her life. Her parents are happily married, she lives in a good house in a good neighborhood, and she gets good grades. Now if she had had a legit problem with it, I would ask her what's up and whatnot. But scratching band logos into your isn't cutting, it's just awkward.

Just when I've had enough with Y, X begins to bring up cutting herself. As we were walking to shop, she brings up how boring it is. She then says "And that's why I do this." and shows me a scratch on her wrist, that she did with her house key. We made our seperate ways to shop, and I blew it off.

It aggravates me to see that X and Y, mainly Y, are walking around saying that they "cut" themselves, and that their lives are "horrible." Newsflash, your lives aren't that bad. I have a very fucked up life. I live with my brother and my dad. My mother is an alcoholic, who I haven't seen in now, 6 months, and I haven't even thought about cutting myself. You get in a fight with your parents over going over a friend's house, and suddenly your life is miserable, and you have to cut yourself.

Grow up.

(p.s. In no way, shape or form am I making fun of people who cut themselves. I've gone through it and I know how horrible it is. All I'm trying to say is don't over-dramatise your life, it's just the fact that they brag about cutting to other people that aggravates me.)
