Question: How do I tell my parents I self harm!?
I'm 17 & have been cutting for 5 years!. My boyfriend is making me tell them!. I don't get along with my dad!. We fight all the time!. I get along with my mom I know she will freak out!. She thinks "those" people are crazy!. I don't want to deal with this!. I just want to pack my stuff and run away!. If I don't tell them Luke(my boyfriend) will!. I can't write it in a letter!. I know they won't read it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Have they not seen you scars!? Your boyfriend is right!. You should tell your parents!. You must get help somewhere!. If it's no go with your parents get help elsewhere!. Talk to you school counselor who will direct you to a therapist!. Take charge yourself!. This is something you can get over!. Check out the website selfinjury!.org Go to Documents then to Self Help!. Don't run away !. You'll only take your problems with you!. On the streets you will get into a wrong crowd and maybe start doing drugs!. This situation is solvable!. Don't put it off and don't worry about your parents' reaction!. They will have to find their own way to deal with it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Do not waste your time by telling your father!. Your mother sounds like a waste of space!. And; your boyfriend is wrong!. You are right!. Pack your stuff, go stay with a friend, be strong, and, stop self-harming!. I know it is easier said than done, but, it is all up to you!. Take at least a year away from home (and all the stress and devastation that goes with it, causing self-mutilation - this is dreadful) and try to find yourself!. Whether your Parents (or, Luke) truly love and care for you, remains to be unravelled!. May helping hands be extended to you, wherever you go, young lady!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

First please stop cutting and learn some positive coping skills!. Also I have seen kids get put in a psych ward for self-mutilation!. You are considered a danger to your self and can be PEC'D!. Google "Positive coping skills for teens" Only you know your parents well enough to decide to tell them or not!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
