dear A, I know as a teenager we all go through a grey phase where all we want is solitude and yeah, it's okay but its overdose is dangerous. Locking yourself in your room and listening to depressing music all the times won't solve anything you know. your current problems are nothing in comparison to what awaits in the future when you're all grown up. Scarring your body permanently just to keep them off your mind temporarily isn't smartness. Have you ever tried talking it out to your parents? No, I assume. your excuse, they don't understand you... have you ever done a decent attempt to explain it?
