    %D#2 replied to ruralSchoolRN's topic in School

    I'm not trying to split hairs here but your perception of this is rather skewed. Sending a nudie pic and cutting are so different. I have an adult friend who cut. She was in fact suicidal but was...

    %D#2 replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

  16. Too soon to leave?
