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.

wow okay.. this is really long and i don't have a lot of time at the moment but i'll make to time you give you at least some advice.. okay well i've never really been in this situation and i'm sure i have no idea what your going through but some advice**
1.Throw away all your needles or anything that you cut with.
2. Get some rubberbands and wear them on your wrist and when you get mad or upset instead of cutting just pull the rubberbands and snap yourself with them and also when you do that and think of cutting it should hurt so you'll think of cutting as hurting. I saw this stratagie on Degrasssi.. it seemed to work.
3. If the rubberband thing doesn't help.. then go need to go to a colsuler at your school asap!! and you really need to tell your parents, i know you don't want to but you may be surprised how much they wanna help and care for you. If you don't wanna do any of that, just let me know and i will help you or find someone who will help you.
Let me know how it goes.

(Rating: 5) Thanks, the teacher that pulled me into the hall told guidance, who notified my parents. But I've actually been talking to one of my teachers about it, and she's been really helpful (actually we've been e-mailing, but sometime this week after class we're going to talk)
