help.......

I am a normal kid so everyone thinks but behind closed doors i cut and I dont know what to do nemore my friends wouldnt understand and everyone else would tell my parents all i want is help, with out my parents noing i have a problem. Some times i wear short sleves just to see if neone notices and they dont except once after I was sexually harrassed my counselor looked at my arms and they were all scratched up and i promised her i would stop and well i never did and she doesnt even know and she acts like she doesnt even care. I cut my arms and my ankles and once i cut my ankle so bad at skool the end of my pants had blood on it thank god no one seen it I just dont know where to go from here and i was hoping someone would give me some advice and if they want you can read my peoms and quotes

ok, i can totally relate.why don't you try snapping a rubber band on your wrist when you want to cut, and getting rid of all the things you can cut yourself with. another thing you can do is excercise or something when you want to cut. you can also write a poem, dance, whatever you like to do. try to keep a positive attitude. say in your head i will not cut over and over. always try to think that when you want to cut. i know it sounds lame, but people on here has told me to do this stuff, and it helps. i know how hard it is to cut, becaus i am going through this right now. all i can say is keep your head held high and try not to let people get to you.if you need to talk, email me.

I have tried the rubber bands and all it does is leave BIG welts on my wrists. I try tho. And i am one to take care of everyone else before myself i can tell everyone else cutting is bad and they are special to someone but I dont even belive it myself.

Some tiems you just need to know if this is all real i wanna do it ssssssssssooooo bad right now i miss my friend!! lylab alex!

this is real. take a look at ur skin. its real. cutting is not worth it. i know i should not be the one to talk but if u can stop, do it before u get to far into it. i wish i could stop and i cant. reading this is good. like im bladeless right now and for like 2 days i have just been reading these post and there is a lot of great people out there and people who are like us and hurt themselves. people here are so kind and give great advice that make me wish were friends with these people because they are so nice. reading these might really help, or it might not be ur thing. writing is great and talking is even better. ur best friend will listen if u really need to talk. i know u probably dont to talk to someone u know. thats y im on here. i could never face anyone to tell them my whole story, well other than one person but i am deadly afraid of that person and her telling anyone but u should really talk to these people, they and I care about u.

okay so here is what happened this week my friend might half to go to a different skol because they think she has behavioral problems but she is allready suspended so i just went to the skolo bathroom and cut and no one knew cuz i got my jacket outta my locker and covered it so it has been the first time ive done it in a while i was proud of myself i was going on a long time but i started again yesterday ughhh XXX emogirl

you say no one will understand... well, your not giving anyone the chance. if you wanna do this without your parents. you first gotta confide in one of your friends, so they can give you encouragement and support. Then... go to a school counsellor and see them regularly. these 2 things will not only make you feel better, but you won't have to include your parents.
i know how it feels to not want them to know, i went thru cutting without them ever finding out and i stopped cutting without them ever knowing it even started....
hope i helped
