so this story begins roughly five years ago when i was 12, and i was going through a really tough time. therefore, i almost brought a [edited] into school. i wasnt going to bring one in to harm others, but myself. im so glad i didnt bring it into school because i wouldve gotten caught, expelled, arrested and given a criminal record. because if you bring a [edited] into a public place its illegal, and i obviously didnt know that at the time. the actual crime name for it is called possession of a [edited].

    Hey @toffuna101 , just to let you know I've made a few edits to your post to keep it in alignment with our Community guidelines and added a trigger warning too.

    It sounds like the day you deliberated bringing that object to school to harm yourself you might have been going through an extremely hard time. I wonder whether those thoughts of harming yourself are something ongoing at the moment? We're here with you to explore and listen. Thank you for your trust in sharing.
