Answers:
I suggest you pick up some media material on the subject to show them!. You can also get a counselor's help to talk to your parents and help bridge the communication gap!. Your condition isn't easy to explain so let them know that!. Then work on the rest from there!. The bottom line is that you are in pain and want help, they can learn the rest on the way!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

a release!? You have nowhere to vent!? The control aspect!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Tell them that you are emo and dont have a lifeWww@Answer-Health@Com

Cutting is usually a cry for help!. Most cutters use it to relieve the pain of abuse or trauma!. Some to help with anxiety or depression!. I suggest you talk to your DR and get some help from a mental health professional!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Just say sometimes a feel really bad and sometime I take it out on myself and I need some help to stop this I really advise you to go see someone!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Tell them the truth!. Only you know why you do it!. You can explain it all you want, but they will never be able to grasp it!.

The most common reason is this!.!.!. the pain inside is so unbearable, that the causing of pain on the outside distracts you from the internal pain and makes you feel better!. Simply said, by hurting yourself, you are making yourself feel better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I imagine that it may be a lot for your parents to take in!. So, I can see how it would be difficult for them to understand your cutting!. Can you just tell them that you're not really sure how to explain it but that you really would like to get treatment!? If you don't have an open relationship w/ your parents or feel uncomfortable telling them in such a direct manner, seek counseling yourself!. I don't know how old you are but many schools offer this service (confidentially) & more and more employers are beginning to provide this type of benefit to its employees!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I hate to put it this way but sometimes parents are just idiots!. They are probably trying to figure out if they did something wrong somewhere along the line!. Also they may never really understand!. Just try explaining it to them again and let them ask specific questions not just why!. Also family counselling may be helpful!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I am confused by your question as well as the answers!.You ask this question as innocently as asking ' where does the sun go at night!?'

Do you know why you cut!? Do you think its normal!?And if you do, what do you want your parents to understand about it!? Do you want their approval/condonement/sympathy!?

Delibrate self harm by cutting or any other way is an abnormal coping mechanism!.To try to make sense of something that doesnt make sense will not make it any better!.

Like many people you sound like you have fallen into a comfortable pattern of using this coping to deal with issues!. There are mnay who do this!. But there are far many mor people who deal with same and more severe traumas and stress in life by living it! They can therfore not justify it or waste time trying to make understand!.
Maybe you need your parents not to understand and collude with you!. You need them to push you frm this comfortable place to make you see that is is NOT normal!. Tell them why you do it and what you feel!.Tell them you dont know why you use this and therfore you nee help!. Nobody here can give that answer!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

That was very brave of you to tell your parents!. I am glad you are reaching out for help!. Explain to your parents that the most important thing right now is for you to get the help!. As far as them understanding, perhaps after you get into therapy you could have a family session and they can get answers, they can also do some reading!. It is hard for others to understand someone's pain!.!.!.especially a parents for a child because I think they are always asking to many why questions!. They may get answers but they may never truly understand but again they do need to understand that it took a tremendous amount of courage for you to come forward and tell them and for you to get help!. It is their job as the parent to help you in this time!. I wish you the best~Www@Answer-Health@Com
