[Susie]

When I was about 18, I used to cut myself on the insides of my arms all the time. I don’t even remember why I did it; I just remember feeling really sad and anxious and angry all the time. I would think sometimes about hitch-hiking really far out of town and then just dying there. I had a tough couple of years, but eventually it ended. All the bad feelings gradually start draining away, and then I had some successes (I got some recognition at university, met some good people) and things just started improving. I can tell you this: being a teenager is tough. You live a restricted, cramped life with rules you didn’t choose or even agree to. Later, things get way better. You get some money, don’t have to live somewhere you hate and, if you’re lucky, find work you love. Everything is going to get better: hang in there.
