My best friend told me that she was cutting herself 2 years ago!. I was actually quite shocked but tried to help her through her depression!. I think it was hard for her to tell!. She told one of her other friends that she was cutting herself, and her friend decided never to talk to her again!. People have an image of a cutter as Gothic or someone you can just tell!. In reality, many people that seem so perfect cut themselves!. I guess, you should tell a friend that you really trust wouldn't tell anyone else!. Maybe talk to your parents or a guidance councilor!. If you can't tell anyone, you should at least keep a journal!. Write about your feelings!. Maybe you could get into a new hobby like painting or running, and try to start being happy!.

Tell people you don't want to talk about it!. For me it can be like an addiction, but i have managed to pratically stop all together now!. Hopefully the problem will sort it's self out, goodluck!
If your not ready to stop, i wouldn't really be telling poeple about it - as the first reaction is to tell you to stop!. But, my counsellor did once tell me you should proberbly tell someone responsible incase of infection!. I think you need to tell someone your reasons for doing it so that you can sort them out first, and that will help stop the cutting!. xWww@Answer-Health@Com

Personally, I find self harming totally bizarre, it is beyond me!. I just don't get it!. To me, it seems that some people label themselves as "self harmers" and like the attention it brings - they have no intention of stopping - that means the would be better, and wouldn't get any attention any more!. They would be normal and they don't want to be normal!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
i never told anyone until i was in my 20s!. it's just easier not to tell people because they say stupid things like, "You just want attention" or "Just stop doing it!."
if someone does find out and tells you that you should stop, just tell that that it's something you've been dealing with for awhile, you are managing it as best as you can, and you are on the road to recovery!.
if you want to stop, you should seek professional care!. it's also important to find another outlet to substitute for your SI, like holding ice cubes or exercise or hitting a punching bag!.

I have several suggestions:
you can tell people it's easier said than done
you can tell people that they are fortunate not to have
this problem to deal with, you wish it was true for you
you can tell people who say they don't understand why
you do it "I believe that is true" (that they don't understand,
they don't!. there are lots of things people don't understand
others, including loved ones)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Mental health is not rational, one does not control mental health!. Only are our actions controlled!.
Cutting is a mental health condition with a side order of natural released drugs that one gets addicted too!.
Kids share there drug addictions with each other, and hence cutting was born!.
Once a person starts it is hard to stop without professional mental health (my child was institutionalized), and the physical drug addiction has been dealt with!.
Drug addiction is mental health!. The more stress, out of control feelings the more the drug is needed and the more "cutting" will occur for that drug of choice is made within us and is cheap and everyone can afford it money wise, even though it kills people!.!.!.!.!.most drugs that are abused can kill people!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you just tell them that they dont understand what is going on in your head and that it is your body its not like your hurting anyone else!.
tell them that they dont know how hard it is to stop it like an addiction!. and to stop interfering with your life!.
just tell them straight what is on your mind!.
you cant plan things that you are going to say in advance or it will just get messed up when you go to say it just say what you feel like saying to them!.
