Homecoming Drama
Ok. So my friends have all these really explicit plans on homecoming this year, which is dumb bcuz we're only sophomores and i don't think we really need to do all this stuff like renting a limo, or going to some really fancy restaraunt. They planned it all out without me, which is depressing because they've left me out alot recently. I just wanted to go to the dance with a few friends but now there's 13 of us. And all this fancy stuff costs money, which we don't have a whole lot of right now because there's some family issues going on. And I'm scared because I don't want my friends to think that I'm not pulling my weight with the costs, but I don't want to make my grandma pay for all this. I think it's just not worth the effort. Really, I would rather ditch all this and go with my boyfriend, and have a more quiet time. I don't want all this fancy stuff yet and it hurts to watch my friends grow up so fast and leave me behind.
What's worse, my mom is visiting. She was only supposed to be here five weeks but now she's here longer and longer because she got put on house arrest for some stuff from a long time ago. She's costing us money and what's more she's ANNOYING. She's interfering with my life so much that it's unbearable. And SHE, of all the people in the world, told me that I'm no better than a crack addict when I cut myself. Personally, I think that if cutting's my only problem then I'm pretty okay. I'm NOTHING like a crack addict. I hate it when people try to tear me down like that. And.. tonight when I tried to tell Gramma that I didn't like the homecoming plans mom kept on interfering with it and adding on to everything Gramma said and it's like they were plotting against me. I'm just sick of all this stuff happening at once!

Forget them. If the few you wanted to go with are really friends, then they'll understand if you let em know.
And if not, you're better off. I'm telling you now, because I had to learn it the hard way.
I'm sorry that it's a bit of a mess, though. It really sucks when things come to this kind of worrying. And cutting is not like being a crack addict. I know plenty of people who cut (one or two, but I've been a witness) and they're perfectly fine.

My advice is to go hang out with your boyfriend and rent a movie at home or something. Don't bother with homecoming. It's really not worth the drama in the long run.

Cutting is nothing like crack. I mean... after a while it becomes a bit obsessive and you might get infections or blood diseases (which is rare if you're careful) but that's about it. That could get annoying. I hope homecoming will be okay

Sorry, it's a bit of a mess, Hope it goes well- I'm sure it will.
I'd say if you don't want to do all the fancy stuff, then you should just go with your boyfriend and have a great time!
