Dr. Rhonda:

I just wanted to email you and tell you thanks for coming to SYC this year. I loved listening to you speak, but I especially liked your Small Groups thing.

I was hurting when I went to that, but I wasn’t sure if I wanted to ask my question or not. I’m really shy, and my problem has brought me so much attention in the past few months, I didn’t want any more. Then that youth leader asked someone to explain to her the whole thing behind cutting. Why people do it. I kind of took that as my sign to speak up.

I’m the girl that spoke up, and shared her story about being a cutter. It was extremely hard for me to do, because I lied a little bit. I said it’d been about 7-8 months since I did it, when in reality, it’s been 3. I really wanted help, and talking about it, and having you pray for me, I’m doing a lot better then I have in a long time.

I really just wanted to email you and thank you. If you want to, you can email me back, but I just wanted to tell you this.
