Today, I walked into the kitchen to find my daughter trying to cut her wrist with a plastic spoon. When I asked her why, she said her friend Lucy did that so her parents would buy her pretty things. My daughter and Lucy are both four years old. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out my 12 year old daughter is going through a bit of an "emotional" stage. I got a call from her school saying she was sitting in the corner at recess trying to cut her wrist. With a plastic spoon. FML
Today, I'm so strapped for cash, I had to send my daughter to play with my neighbor's daughter, both are 5, because she gets fed there. She suddenly came home saying they're not friends anymore, bragging how she hit her and she bled while crying. Why? She bought 2 new toys and gave her one, so they have the same. FML
Today, I found my 6 year-old daughter upstairs, lying on the floor with scissors. She was giving, "the carpet a haircut." FML
Today, I cut myself with child-proof scissors. FML
Today, my four-year-old daughter thought it'd be funny to cut my hair while I was sleeping. FML
Today, while I was cutting myself some watermelon, my mom walked in. I could tell she hadn't taken her medication in a while because she freaked out, grabbed the knife, and burst into tears before yelling at me, saying I could have cut myself and bled out. FML
Today, I got a call from my daughter's school saying that she had beat someone up. She's 4. FML
Today, my six year old daughter cut out the stomach area of four of my favorite shirts. When I asked her why she had done so she replied, "So that they fit your tummy better, Mommy." FML
Today, I walked in on my daughter eating a handful of styrofoam packing pellets, because she thought they were Christmas candy. She's fourteen. What's next, eating rocks? FML
Today, I walked in on my 14-year-old daughter holding a lit lighter to the underside of a spoon, which was full of baking powder. She was trying to breathe in the fumes to get high, and later confessed that she thought it's how heroin is made and used. FML

Society is ****** up. Kids should never have to think like that. Don't let your daughter play with that girl anymore and make sure her parents are told to get their shit together.

Self-harm is a serious situation. And it should not be used just to get "pretty things". Talk to her. A 4 year old should not be doing that sort of thing. Self-harm is not a method of getting things you want.

Oh my god! What is happening, poor children are being shaped so wrong nowadays I think... I'm so sorry I hope you were able to stop her and make her understand and Lucy's parents are silly... if I had a child and caught them trying to self harm I'd send them to counselling or something to see if they were ok, not reward them.... four years old... wow

Kids learn at a very young age. I did when I was in a walker...I did it on a pop can and still have the scar on my thumb...

Please talk to her about how serious it is. I cut myself the first time when I was six because of emotional pain. It got really bad when I was eleven. I'm now 22 (in two days) and recovering but the temptation is there every day. Please keep an eye on her. I realize she did this for other reasons but it is addicting. Good luck.

You know, I agree with everyone here. Take your daughter to a therapist and make sure you talk to Lucy's parents too. Its sad society has come to little girls cutting themselves just to get something they want. I know I sound really mean, but it's true if you haven't noticed. My only other question: How could someone vote that the parent deserved this?
