hello time bomb (matthew good band)
have you ever been scared? what about sad? have you ever been so scared and so sad that you cut yourself just so that you could have one reason to explain all of the pain you feel? probably not.
today i contracted with a 14 year old girl to not hurt herself between now and monday. she had cuts all over her arms. she is going to court on tuesday to testify against the guy who sexually assaulted her. they aren't sure if they are going to put the screen up infront of her when she testifies. the defence uses this as a "tactic", the fighting for the screen to be removed, in the hopes that the witness will either run away or kill themselves before the trial. nice. i fucking hate this world.

The great thing about this world honey, is people like you that care and help others through their problems. Keep your chin up and keep smiling that Chrissy smile and remember....we're going to Calgary today......WOOHOO!!!!!
subbed at a school once with a 14 year old girl who had scars upon scars all the way up to her elbows, and on her feet all the way up to her knees. I was speechless, and terrified for her. The counsellors were doing all they could...but the next time I came to that school, the students told me she was no longer in school, and had most likely been placed in a foster home. I know exactly how you feel.
it's hard enough to see the scars, but to be the one who they come to and talk to about it... to be the one who they make a promise to to stay safe... there's just some days when my job gets the better of me.
thank you guys for all of your support!!
