Okay, I know that there have been many questions on the subject, but I looked, and I haven't found any other question/answers that were helpful. Okay, well here goes. I've gotten so addicted to cutting, that lately I've been doing it in class. I even cut my initials into my skin. Well today I got caught, and I was telling a friend about it, and my 4th period teacher heard. Well after the test in that class, she called me into the hall because we were allowed to do anything, and I got out a needle, and when that teacher saw she called me out. Then she was all like you know what you do is dangerous and stuff, and I was like yes... and she said other stuff like I care about you, and want you to stop, and I was like yeah, whatever. Well, now I really want to stop, but I can't it's like I'm addicted. I want to end my life, yet I want to live. And so now, I don't know how to stop. And I would bring it up to one or both of the teachers that know, but I wouldn't know how to bring it up, and I'm afraid that they would tell my parents, and my parents wouldn't sympathize, they would get really mad, trust me I know. So I was wondering, how might I get over this addiction, and if I were to tell the teacher that I need help, then how would I bring it up. What would you do to get help, and if you were to ask a teacher for help, what would you say. And if you were a cutter, but no longer cut, I'd like to hear your stories, no matter how long! Thanks a bunch!
Sorry it's so long, but I'm really worried about how far I might take this. (link)

Hi Sweetie,
Yes it happened to me. I'm actually currently still in theraphy for it. ...I had issues and I was really messed up. The differnce was that I didn't have an addiction or obsession... Well looking back I'm glad I was cought because I don't think I could have explained it to my mother myself.
The thing you should do is NOT talk to your teacher (is none of her/his business). Seek the school counsler if you need help talking ot your parents about it. (If you get caught they CALL your parents... oh God all the horrible memories) Then they'll send you to get an evaluation (if they consider you high risk-suicidal you'll have an EMERGENCY evaluation) Eventually you'll end up in therapy. For some its easier talking about it there. They work out all your "why" and "how" issues (why you cut and how you got to that point and stuff).
Hope you get the help you need! Best wishes love. Take care! ~Blessed Be...

Well, now that it's 'over and done with' I had talked to the teacher, the one teacher that said she cared told guidance, and guidance called home. The other teacher has been personally helping me through e-mails, I haven't once signed my name to the e-mails, but she eventually figured it out, and I talk to her in class about some of the e-mails. She even told me as long as I don't sign my name to any of them, then she won't be able to tell anybody. So, thanks, but you were wrong. I'm only going to change the rating to a 4, because you still tried, but I don't really like that advice that much.
