Just tell them. "I cut myself because I'm ________." What are you, depressed, ashamed, in pain? If they don't understand try to help them to, and then maybe they can help you seek help, cutting isn't the way out, every time you drag the blade across your skin it only drags you farther into a black hole of pain.
Telling your parents you cut isnt always easy, I used to cut an my parents still dont know about but I plan to tell them someday, instead of telling them I told a trusted adult and she knows im to embaressed totell my parent ls right now but she said when i am ready to tell them she will be right the with me, so maybe you dont have to tell your parents right away but maybe tell a trusted adult, trust me its not easy but life isnt always easy, im sorry your struggling right now, and I hope you have a trusted adult you can tell, or if your religous you can turn to the lord for answers. Im 14, and cutting doesnt mean your emo its just a stupid stereo-type people came up with. I hope I could have been some help

Telling your parents that you cut is going to be difficult regardless of how you decide to do it. Be open and honest with them so you can get the help and support you need right now.

write them a note saying that you cut and why you cut and leave it for them to find and let them come to speak to you about it after they have found the note hope this helps
i would lie. i would say "i got a paper cut." why do you cut yourself anyway? your hurting yourself! anyway, telling your parents would be the right thing to do though.
