Answers:
You've already taken the first step!. You've admitted you have a problem to yourself!. That's wonderful! Now, sit your mom down and tell her how you feel and that you are ready for help!. First, ask that she not comment until she's heard you out!. Your mom may react differently considering this is happening to her OWN child!. I'm sure even if she thinks you are crazy, she will be willing to do whatever she needs to do to help you!. Also, even if you fight with your dad a lot, I'm sure he loves you and wants what is best for your mental health!. You need to talk to him about it too!. Perhaps sit them down together!.

Just remember!.!.!.!.anger is a way of dealing with things that we don't want to admit we need to deal with!. So, they may be angry at first, but I'm sure it will pass!. Let them go through their emotions and let them deal with the news before you give up on them!.

If that doesn't work, talk to a school counselor or a friends mom, even a trusted neighbor!.

I wish you luck honey!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

listen i used to cut myself and it was very hard for me to tell my parents!.
sit her down and tell them u have something important to say and that you need help!.
first her them that your not crazy you just have been going through a lot!. she'll most likely ask you what it is, just say its personal if you don't want to tell her!.
say mom im hurting myself and i dont want to no longer!.
say mom im cutting myself, and im NOT crazy, just confused!.

When the two of you are alone tell her that you need someone to talk to!. Tell her your feeling depressed and you think it would help you a lot!. Btw Ava, I'm so freaking proud of you!. I'm happy you want help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you can find a local support group!.!. or chatline, but if you are that worried about telling your mom,( and as a mom although mine is only 3 i can tell you she will only want you to get better because its something your ready for she just says "those people" because she doesn't understand it but maybe you can help her while she helps you!.) just tell her you feel overwhelmed by things and you want some one to talk about it with so you can vent to get things off your mind but you feel weird with people you know!. here is a website maybe they can give you some ideas and good luck wanting to be better is the first step so i hope you get the courage to let them in to help you
