What excuse can I use at school?!


Question: I have just this moment got back from hospital, because I cut too badly whilst self harming. It was so bad I had to be put under general anesthetic and had an operation on my arm and I was in for 2 nights. The thing is now I have a massive bandage on my arm that I have to keep on for over a week and needle hole on my hand where they put the anesthetic in and I don't have a clue what my excuse can be for people at school. Ive run out of excuses as I'm always getting injured. It hasn't always been my fault, before I came into care it was my mum and dads so I can't hae sprained my arm, damged a muscle, hurt myself furing sport...i don't know....help!!!

How about just telling the truth? I hope that you are okay, but maybe talking about it with the people at school would help you a bit?

If that's not an option you are willing to consider, how about a burn? or a broken wrist? I'm not really sure, but I hope whatever happens, and whatever you decide, that you will be okay. Good Luck

damn! umm just tell them you got impaled on a pole they will understand lol

Just tell people you do not want to talk about it. No need to make anything up. People will think what they think anyway.

Please get help for the cutting, this is a wake up call for you to get help.

dont lie unless u feel its needed.simple answer would be i was in the hospital had a issue with my arm needed surgery.no need to go into details unless u want everyone to know ur a cutter. start releasing ur stress though exercise ,writing or relaxing good luck with this

You idiot. you must have no self-esteem or self-respect.

dont do this to your self, go to the doctors and ask to be refered to someone who can help you, a counciller or something, before you do more harm to yourself

Ruby B,
that's really insulting.
As someone who has gone through self-harming and clinic depression, that is that last thing one would like to hear.
you're the idiot, and pretty ignorant.



BUT ANYWAY.
just tell your close friends the truth,
and if anything, say that you would rather not talk about it.
most people won't push it any further.
