Answers:
Do you really need to tell her!? Chances are she will not understand and only make the situation worse!. If you're telling her because you need help and want to go to the doctor I would tell her how you are feeling and maybe show her some articles about depression etc!. but I would stay well away from the self harming topic!.

What i found is my parents actually made this issue 10 times worse, they dont understand it and tend to make you feel guilty and like your burdening them with more, however that might just be mine!. I would suggest talking to an impartial advision such as a GP or a shrink and letting them do it, because they appriciate its a real issue and tell your parents the same!. They are generally more supportive, at least for a while, after the GP has told them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

sit her down!. if you're not into that, maybe show her something that would say "hey mum, this is what i'm trying to say to you!" (book, pictures, webpage etc)

i would save you the trouble of being put on the spot too!. but i suppose your mum would be more put on the spot!.

ps!. i used to and it's something you get over after a bit!. my friends did too!. good luck =) Www@Answer-Health@Com

if your parents are understanding you should be able to educate them on the subject with some push!. if u are a self harmer u need to show them your problem and get them to take you to a doctor and they will come to realize more and in turn gain some understandingWww@Answer-Health@Com

If you are a self harmer then i suggest just sit her down and show her your marks and then talk to her from there, If you are not then im not sure as most parents don't wanna hear about it, they are in denialWww@Answer-Health@Com

oh my gosh
don't listen to greasy heaired guys
if you do self harm, stop!.
explain to her by searching on wikipedia and then showing her the page!. :)
besides from that there's books and videos!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

get over yourself!. self-harming is a cry for attention, not a real condition!. the question you asked shows you for what you are : a drama queen looking to make a splash!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

She's heard of it!. Its nothing new!. Mentally ill people have done it for ages!.

Its just new to you!.
