Answers:
your friends care for you hon!.!.!.!.!.
i used to do the same thing and i was so scared to tell my parents and when my friends found out they went BERSERK!.

but you really need to tell your parents, the truth may hurt, but it will be worse if they find out from seeing you in the pool!. believe me!.
talk to them, and when you approach them be sure to act VERY serious, just say to them when they sit at the table or sofa tonight: "Mom, Dad, i need to talk to you guys, it's very important!."
then go to a therapist or councellor and get help!.
you need it!. and stopping cutting will be alot easier for you since you want to ditch the habit!.
but if you dont stop, you could seriously hurt yourself!.
so please talk to them!.

If you really want to stop, you have to tell your parents!. This is quickly becoming a habit with you and that will make it all the more difficult to stop!. As a parent, it would break my heart to know my child was tormented and hurting and I did nothing to help!. Please let your parents know about this tonight!. They will see that you get the help you need!. And you do need help or you would've already stopped on your own!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Try holding off cutting till later, like when you find yourself thinking about cutting, put it off!. Tell yourself you'll go running instead!. When you come back and still remember you're going to cut, put it off until after you eat and so on and so on!. Hopefully you'll forget about it!. If you cut too much I'm pretty sure you can die!. Like you could hit an artery or vein going too deep and you can't stop bleeding!. That would be a very painful and sucky death!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

TELL YOUR PARENTS! I am a parent! Trust me! They love you more than anyone in this world and will only want to help you and they will be thankful that you came to them before it is too late!. It is hard being a teenager especially with a secret but trust me!.!.!.they will not be angry they will be so glad that you came to them before it is too late!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

My friend is in high school and she began to cut herself over the simplest things!. If you don't stop now, i hate to say it but its just going to get worse!. Try to find other things to do to calm yourself and take away anything you use to cut yourself!. My friend's parents found out and they were devastated!.

I used to cut myself too when I was younger!. It does become a "habit" in a sense and really doesn't serve as much of an outlet even though it provides a temporary release!. I suggest you talk to someone you can trust!. Someone that will stick by your side regardless of what you do!. If you don't have anyone, please consider calling the following number:

1-800-784-2433

Overall, I can really understand and empathize with what you are going through!. You're feeling down and need to bring yourself back up!. Right now that sounds impossible, but you will get to that point!. You might also consider writing your feelings down!. It does help and you are also doing the right thing by reaching out right this moment!. You are going through a lot right now but you will get through it!. Stay strong and have confidence in yourself and remember there are people that love you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Professional help may be the way to go!. Your parents aren't going to be mad at you!. If they yell or get upset, they're probably just scared for you and worried about you!. Talk to a teacher or school counselor or a friend's parents or another adult you trust if you aren't comfortable talking to your parents!. The scars will heal over time, but you need to take care of yourself! You have to be brave and talk to someone!. Just think of how much better you'll feel when it's out in the open and you can work on fixing it!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I know how you feel!. It is so embarrassing telling parents!.
I cut myself also and it has changed my life!.
Cutting makes me feel more self conscience i've found!.
I never thought that I would cut deep but a little bit ago, I had to go to the emergency room to get stitches!.
So many people misunderstand self harm!. Maybe you could tell your friends more about it, because I'm guessing it doesn't help when they threaten or get mad at you!.
If you don't want to tell your parents, you could call the suicide hotline,1-800-784-2433!. They can coach you through hard times, and it doesn't show up on the phone bill!. You could also tell a school counselor!. When you feel like cutting, you could call a friend and talk about fun stuff, you don't even need to tell them that you are anxious!.
If the cuts are on your wrists, then you could wear long sleeves in the winter!. It gets a little scary in the summer though!. You could get some scar remover from the grocery store!.
Hope that helps!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Damn this is crazy!.!.!. I live a hard life too!.!.!. I never did dis though!.!.!. You should go to your community doctor and visit a psycologist!.!.!. Mabye a anger management team or sumtin!.!.!. A gurl in my school had this problem and her friends told the teacher!.!.!. The teacher didint tell anyone but the counsler!.!.!. Now that gurl is happy!.!. all the time!!! All theyll do is talk to you!.!. They dont tell anyone!.!.!.

You can throw your blades away!.!.!. Youre douing something stupid (no offense)!. Damn just think of the good things in life!. Your friends, family, brothers and sisters, etc!.!.!.
Set a goal!.!. if you really want to go to this cross country and swimmng thing!.!.!. YOU HAVE TO STOP CUTTING YOURSELF!!!
Think!.!.!.

obviously the people who are telling you to just get over it have never had a depression or cutting problem and they shouldn't even be trying to help with retarted comments like theirs!. i have cut before and it is really addicting!. i have stopped now for about a year now!. you need to start by getting rid of everything you cut with and really think about what cutting is doing for you!. what are you getting out of it!.!.!.it is a short term solution to a long term problem!. there are some issues that you are trying to mask!. you need to start working on those!.!.!.perhaps with counseling eventually the cutting will become less important!. it will be better for you to just tell your parents before they happen to find out!. just say can we talk and calmly tell them!.!.!.that way you can get the help you need!. You can do it!. I did!.!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Dont listen to the people that say it's attention seeking!. cus if it was you'd want yur parents to see, and i can tell you dont!.
Im 13, and i cut myself too, my friends know, and my parents do too, they've taken me to the doctors, but thats cus ive dun it for 1yr1/2 and cant stop!.
yur in early days, and i feel you cud stop, first, think why you do it !?
nd think is there summat yu cud do instead of cutting!?
also think, 'im gonna lose mates if i keep doing it'!.
you need to think of all negatives!.!.!.
like- the scars, your parents will eventualy find out, when yur older, yur kids will see yur scars(yu dont want them copying you)!.!.!.

one thing you can do, is write how you feel down!.!.
or go to see a counsellor/doctor yourself, it's not easy when it cums to it but in the end it'll be worth it!.

if you wana talk to me mor e-mail me
rachael!.virgo@yahoo!.com

hope it all goes Ok!.!.

I think that you do it to blow off frustration or anger, instead you should find something else that is harmless, but will take your mind away from cutting yourself!. as for me, i have a punching bag and either punch the bag or the wall to blow off the steam or eat candy or chew gum to take your mind away from it!. hurting yourself will not solve anything!. ONE LAST THING, DO NOT LISTEN TO MOST OF THE ADVICE BELOW YOU, DRUGS IS NOT THE ANSWER AND IGNORE THEIR STUPID COMMENTS THEY LEAVE!. YOU CAN NOT HIDE IT, BECAUSE HIDING IT WILL NOT SOLVE ANYTHING!. Good luck, and if you really want to stop, you will be able to stop out of will alone!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well you said it yourself you ned help!. I'm a fourteen year old girl, and I cut myself hate to say it!. And it freaking sucks, i know!. It's a ridiculous obsession but the best thing for both of us to do (hehe) is just get rid of everything that we could use!. Now, that can be hard cuz i know i could use a pen cap, but anyway!.!.!. And just walk away!. That's what i try to do!. I tell myself i'll regret doing it later!. I just have to trust myself to not do it, and you should try it too!. But definitely talk to someone and tell them you want to talk to a counselor!. You definitely don't have to tell your parents or anyone else WHY, say it's a friend issue maybe!? Just get help and save yourself from the pain!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

your an idiot and dont sin!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
