~*~*~What do i do when My parents dont care?~*~*~*

Alright so i cut twice b4 and i tried to hide it but one day i was getting out of the shower and i forgot my towel and my dad had to hand me one through the door and he seen my wrist so he talked to me about it..kinda..he said "if you do it again then we are sending you to a mental hospital" so yea he doesnt care and then my mom knew about it and she didnt even say anything bout it and i know she knew cuz i heard my dad telling her about it! SO why do they not care?

Maybe YOU are the problem and don't even realize it. Maybe you make it seem as though they don't care when that is not the case at all. Look at your situation from a different angle.

My parents think that I'm just looking for attention. They don't take anything I do seriously because I go through weird phases. I'm NOT saying this is the case but it is a suggestion.
If you can stop cutting DO because it's a bad bad thing to get into. I know it seems popular around here but it's not normal and not healthy

Oh hell...I just read your post! See...I didn't read it before...and I should have!

DUDE!! Your father says he's sending you to get help if you cut again and you're saying he doesn't care? Do you know how much it would cost for you to go to get that kind of help? Do you? I mean really do you? It's NOT cheap! And why would your mother need to say anything. Daddy said all that needed to be said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cut again and you're going to a mental hospital. I'd say they definitely cared if they were willing to be without you and fork over all the dough your idiocies would cost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DUDE OPEN YOUR FREAKING EYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

While I will admit you have a point, and that is my view as well... presentation is everything. This method you have of yelling and being very blunt has on more than one occasion annoyed me and I'm sure others. Please, if you are on a sadness and depression board you are around people who *in general* are not very.... 'stable'.... to begin with. Kindness and understanding is key here. If you don't like it and think they are dumb then don't post here.

To the original poster
There are a couple reasons you are getting this reaction from your parents. 1. is that they simply don't know what to do.... 2. is that they do care and are worried, and that is why they want to send you to the mental hospital. 3. they don't care at all. Now, out of those reasons I think the first two are the most viable. If you've never done this before, or seem outwardly happy then it has to be a shock to your parents to find this out. My advice would be to stop cutting. Just don't do it. You are in control. You are strong, you do not have to bow down to the so called 'need' to cut.
