How do i hide my self harm cuts?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

don't cut yourself. fall so that it scrapes up your leg.

I know you probably don't want to hear this, no self harmer does, but you have to stop. IT's dangerous and the scars are more than skin deep. Talk to someone, go to a free confidential councillor if you don't want anyone to know you still are self harming.

And for the person who questioned a cheerleader self harming, it doesn't matter who you are, we all feel pain and all deal with it differently. You are stereotyping people, saying that just because she does cheerleading, means she can't be sad or self harm. Self harm affects anyone of any age of any race.
Sorry, it angers me when ignorant people think like that.

To cover it up:
You could wear skin coloured tights
Use make-up
Wear bracelets, to cover up you arms (if you're allowed)
You could bring a longer sleeved top and trousers, and ask your parents to write a note, as they know about self harm. You could tell them you feel uncomfortable with your scars - you don't have to tell them the cuts are recent.
You could ask to skip out on the routine/be ill that day.
If all else fails, you could tell your cheerleading teacher/captain that you used to self harm and do not feel comfortable wearing shorts and a t-shirt and take it from there.

I hope everything goes well for you. Good luck x

sweetie, i know this is hard to hear, but obviously if you're writing into yahoo answers about cutting yourself with a picture of you right there ^, you're basically begging for someone to help you, not tell you how to hide your cuts. I have two close friends who went through this, and self harmed, one of them i didn't know about for at least a year. I know it's hard, but you NEED to talk to someone, maybe a close friend, family member, or teacher. I know you're thinking "i would never do that, it would ruin my life" but think about how happy you are now.... it can only get better from here. Both my friends had to do that and even though it took a few close calls to make them see, they are so much happier now that they talk to people and are working past their depression. I know this doesn't help answer you question directly but theres obviously a bigger problem that need to be solved here.
i hope you find the strength to get help!
here's a really great site for you just to look at, at least-

Lol, ur fuked. dont go in to school, come down with a sickness and if ur rents wont let u stay home, skip. its the only way, nothing u can do will hide or explain that many cuts and u will be taken into some kind of social network where you will have to talk to a bunch of retarded school counsellors and sh!t, and everyone will get into your business and try to control your life. bottom line- DO NOT go. even if you have to hide in the bathroom lol, do wat u gotta do and dont cut yourself where people can see unless you want attention. try right by ur pussy on ur leg, or like on ur hip, somewhere noone will see even if ur in a bikini. then i suggest you start havbing lots of sex, good stress reliever. get ur puss eaten ya know?

then seek help your own way, when your ready. i suggest a parent/sibling.

Only because you really have to, just don't go. But TELL SOMEONE, it's the only way to stop; even if you don't want to you have to. Self harm is serious, it means you have bigger problems that you need to cope with properly. Telling someone can get you help that you need to solve those problems, and they can help think of alternatives. So, tell someone.

You're right, it's going to take the oomph out of cheerleading by drawing attention away from your performance - could begin to take over your life in this way, it needs to stop and you need to get your body back to normal if you will continue to participate in any usual shorts & t-shirt activity without so much of a conscience about it...

Your additional details imply that you only cut yourself for attention, which is incredibly annoying and narcissistic of you.

Just don't go, or use makeup. Obvious solutions. In fact, just asking this question implies that you are attention hungry.

Dont you have alternate long sleeved uniforms? like a half shirt to go under your normal shirt? wear that? and maybe sweats.

I have over 120 cuts on my legs

Dosent that hurt??? Please get help..It's not healthy!
But you could hide it with concealer and beige pantyhose....
BUT BACK TO THE BIG PROBLEM PLEASE TELL YOUR PARENTS AND GET A DEPRESSION MEDS FROM YOUR DOCTOR PPPPLLLLLEEEAAASSSEEE
