Where can I find a monologue on self harm?
I need a free monologue, (urgently) on self harm and/or depression/suicide, which can be a maximum of 2 minutes to perform, is suitable for a teenage girl and preferably doesn't swear. It would be better if the person in the monologue gets upset about it, but if not, it doesn't matter. I've searched through google for hours and can't find one that would be suitable... I need this for monday. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

I went to a convention a few years ago through the agency I was signed to & recited this monologue. I received a lot of great feedback on it. I think it helps when you're able to relate the the words that you're reciting & in my case, one of my best friends had commit suicide a little over a year prior to the convention. Good luck! :)
I never realized that you hurt so badly. Thanks a lot. Now, I hurt too. Except, my heart won't STOP hurting. I miss you SO much and I miss what we will never have. What was so bad to make you want to leave? I don't get it. You had so much going for you. And what about us? You ended us, just like that.(snaps fingers). You told me that you loved me, then you said goodbye, all in the same breath. They all keep telling me that you were selfish and screwed up, that I should be angry. The bottom line is, they are angry at you for my pain. They say that suicide is the ultimate selfish act. Maybe so, but friends are supposed to be there for each other, especially in a time of need, aren't they? And you needed me. You said you needed me. But now what? I live with this guilt and this pain and I can't seem to shake it. I should have believe you when you said you were going to do it...but I didn't.(Sigh) This is CRAZY. Look at me. I'm talking to a piece of concrete...as if he is here...sitting in front of me, listening.

Go to scene three. (The bottom of page 11)
It also continues on page 20, if its not long enough.
This is from a play about what teenagers do at 4 in the morning.
The script says "Jake" but the script also mentions the role is often changed to "Jane" because it works for either gender. It's on of my favorites, and very intense.
Hope I helped.
