They are sometimes called “cutters” and they are young
people, predominately girls, who cut themselves. There are many known reasons
and many unknown as well. It is safe to say that something is very wrong
inside. Sometimes it is brought about by their home environment, and sometimes
it is some chemical imbalance, and again sometimes no one really knows.
Sometimes this behavior is the path to suicide. Sometimes it is a call for
help. Sometimes it is even a part of narcissism. Sometimes it is a combination.
But these girls cannot help but hurt themselves.
Some dress in Goth attire and look as weird as they can.
And many hear the mocks and snickers of those who say they know Jesus. And some
travel so deeply into depression they never come out. And for some like Annie,
it’s too late.

I know people like this & my heart weeps for them. No matter how these young people dress or what music they listen to, one thing is constant, they need Jesus.
I have a request: could you pray for me? My husband & I are having trouble communicating . The trials, illnesses & other problems have left us w/little in common. I married a non-Christian man who I love a lot but since we retired, it's like someone introduced me to a stranger. I would have married a Christian but they were snobby, hypocrites. Anyways I have ADD & my husband is out of patience so I stay in part of the house & he stays in the other .thank you.
Dear Anonymous, your request is not specific enough to pray for you... That your communication improves with your husband? That you are healed from your ADD? That your husband's patience expands? Not heeding to God's Word and marrying an unbeliever seems to have caught up with your friendship or I should say the lack of it now in your marriage. Having Jesus so displaced in your relationship may keep it unsettled for years to come... So maybe the best I can offer is that you take deeper steps towards the Savior in that your faith becomes richer in its fruit which will prove to make your relationship with your husband more bearable...and hopefully with a deeper walk with Christ the Holy Spirit will help you to see the work he is doing in your husband with greater clarity.
Chris:people like you are the reason I keep things to myself. I have grown deeper by these trials & by these trials my spirit has borne fruit in my faith in Jesus.
I was not a strong Christian when I married my husband. I have since prayed & cried for him. It is not God's will that ANYONE perishes w/o knowing Jesus.
A Christian speaker spoke once about how the Christian body is so adept at castigating their own . I find it difficult to express emotions & because I know some of the people that respond to this post, I chose to write those elements which hurt me the most .
Chris, I will pray for you & the body of Christ that there is compassion towards each other. Someday we maybe all that we have on earth when true tribulation strikes. God help us all & God bless you.
My grandsons mother is a "cutter"...and her life took a deeper dive into the abyss. And in her fall my grandson was suppose to go with her...to a very dark place. When we feel we are faced with the impossible, we put our face down into the dust to remind us of who we are and from there, with hope, with faith, we reach up to the One that can change things. When our strength is gone and our eyes run dry we have nothing else to give but ourselves if that is what it takes...The Holy Spirit does come in and changes hearts...and the hardest thing is to accept that the worst news just may come from around that dark corner... And the "new light" that shines in the place once dark, is actually my heart not hers. She is in church worshipping and learning, my grandson is in church worshipping and playing...praise you Lord.
Nobody cares about young people. Nobody.

Public education funding is cut because taxes are insufficient to support it or simply because the community doesn't care. Kids aren't taxpayers.
***
Church education of its young is either nonexistent or so slight as to be comical. Kid don't contribute to tithe income.
***
But the drug dealers and the warmongers LOVE THEM! Kids will buy dope by the ton and the pentagon gets a new quota of kids to fill uniforms and fight its meaningless wars - becoming hamburger in the process.
***
And the parents? Kids are a responsibility that are better abandoned than met.
***
The only ones who love our kids are the vultures who prey upon them.

and that's just me, hollering from the choir loft...
