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)

alright, i'm going to try to organize this as best i can, but most of the time my ideas get all jumbled up so bear with me.
about the teacher: ok, just approach the one you trust the most and say, "alright, well since you already know about my problem (if she/he is uncertain, show them your arm), can you help me get over this with out telling my parents? I just don't think they understand, and i really want to stop, but i don't think i can do it with out your help." Your teacher(s) will be more than happy to help you. They care about you and they want you to get better.
You could even talk to your friend about it. the more you talk about this problem, the easier it gets to deal with. i wasn't a cutter, but i had my addictions and talking about it made it virtually go away.
I understand about your situation with your parentle units. if you weren't so young, i'd say that you could do this without them. however, i think that if your as addicted as you say, you might not be very sucessful with out clinical help. Yeah, i know how much that sucks to hear, but i honestly believe thats the best thing that could happen to you.
About your painfull cut: It might be infected dear. You should really see your doctor. i don't think they can tell your parents about it. I think thats your own private business that your doctor can't release, but i could be wrong.
The only thing that sterilizes stuff is burning it, or in a special kind of solution.
If you need my help so more, or want to talk to someone who won't judge you, i'm here. My sn is Tucanfullofholes and my email is redsoxrockmyworld@yahoo.com. drop one in my inbox if you need to. I want to help you as much as possible.

Thanks a lot. I might have my mom take me to the doctor, I'll tell her I feel sick or something, then when they call me back into the office I can be like, mom, I'm old enough to go back by myself... and see what goes from there.
