cutting myself help!!!?
Question:
Answers:
Sweetie, hiding your scars isn't a good idea. You need to stop hurting yourself, but more importantly, you need to deal with whatever it is that made you start cutting in the first place. You can't do that by yourself. Please try to tell your mom what you're doing, or at least what you're feeling that makes you want to hurt yourself. If you can't tell her, or you do tell her and she doesn't help you, tell someone at school, a school counselor, or a teacher you trust, or tell another adult relative, or the parent of a close friend.
Don't hate yourself for cutting. You probably do it because you're hurting inside, and cutting moves the hurt to the outside, which is easier to deal with. You shouldn't have to feel so bad that the only way out is to hurt yourself. You're still a child, and adults are supposed to take care of children. When you feel so bad that you want to hurt yourself, it's because the adults in your life aren't doing their job. You can't blame yourself for that. I looked at your past questions, about your mom missing your graduation, your step dad staring at you, your thinking you're too fat. Any one of those things would be enough to push a lot of girls, even older than you are to start cutting themself, and one of them are your fault. You have a lot to deal with, more than any girl your age should, and you're dealing with it the best you can, the only way you know how. Don't hate yourself for that.
I've cut myself for the past three years, so I know a bit about hiding cuts and scars. But I'm not going to tell you, because it's important that someone find out you're hurting yourself so you can get help. Hiding what you're doing is going to hurt you even more than the cutting itself. Don't be afraid to tell someone what you're doing. It's a lot more common that you might thing, and if you tell someone, especially a teacher, school counselor, or doctor, they'll know how to deal with it a lot better than you might expect.
Also, I saw your question from a few months ago about your step dad staring at you, and I just wanted to tell you that it's really, really important that you tell someone about that, if you haven't already. No grown man should ever stare at a young girl like that. It's a form of sexual abuse, and it's really important that you tell someone before he does anything to hurt you any more than he already has.
