There is no judgment based on your age; there is a rule that you have to be 18+ to post on many of these boards.
Other than that the more you post the more I think you need to speak to a professional.

I think people are just seeing things differently than you. Your issues aren't "teen" issues, so you should go to a teen board, its just that on the teen board you may have more insight from people and be able to read and relate to more of the issues other teens are having.. good therapy is being able to help others, not just yourself.
Secondly, how many times have you cut yourself? You say you don't want to commit suicide but you want attention? Are you sure that cutting your wrists is safe? What if you cut yourself and realize that you can't stop, or you hit a major blood vessle? There is a reason people slit their wrists, and its to die, not to almost die..
Third, it doesn't matter what she says, anyone who cuts themselves I would RUN. So attention seeking or not, it's the wrong attention that your seeking. If you really want attention, try getting straight A's, or being the best at something. Positive attention > negative attention.
Fourth, at 14 I don't see this relationship being worth the pain you put yourself in. You may think it's the worst thing you've had to deal with, but focus on the positive, you have a long fun ride ahead of you, H.S. College, etc...
My apologies to the deleted posters, after his other threads were merged with more information, that shows the complete story.

You have scared her, and you should address your issues, before trying to be mates with her. This is not healthy and you better leave her alone until you have gotten help.
Your parents, a teacher, or school counselor, or even your family doctor, can help you. Please talk to someone.
The fact that you have no mental barriers to cutting yourself shows that there is something unhealthy happening with you, not with the people that react to it.
There are complex reasons people behave the way you do, and often it is about feeling - this is one way they can 'feel' alive, and this is one way they can 'feel' they are in control.
People react badly when you cut yourself because they know it means you're engaging in unhealthy and self destructive behavior.
It's a cry for help on your part - but you don't see that.
People are responding to your cry for help.
Tell your parents.
Because it is potentially harmful even if to you it feels like an outlet to release your pain.
Many cutters come here asking how they can stop because the cutting is starting to overtake their life and they are sick of the scares. Also some cutters have said that they almost died and they weren't even trying for that.
Cutting is an disorder sort of like obsessive compulsive disorder.
Do yourself a favor and get counselling so that you learn constructive ways to cope with your problems. We can help some but you need someone that can really delve into the depths of why you do things and finding alternatives that would be more fulfilling in your life
