advice
I'm 15, female and I have been dating my bf for almost a month now. I am a cutter but none of my friends know about it. My bf and I were talking about one of our friends being a cutter and he asked me if I was. I lied to him and told him I wasn't. Now I feel terrible about lying to him. I afraid of how he will react if I tell him. Do you think I should tell him the truth?
I think that you should see how he feels about the subject. Maybe bring up the girl that you were talking about who is also a cutter. Then, once you see his reaction to her cutting, tell him that you lied. BUT ONLY TELL HIM THIS IF YOU CAN TRUST HIM. It's very important that he doesn't go telling the world about you cutting and I'm sure you would agree. If he is a good boyfriend, once you tell him he will most likely suggest that you get some help, and this would be a good idea. No matter how much is going on in your life, there are other ways to release your pain/anger/fear or whatever is going on. I have never experience cutting, but some of my close friends do. It's difficult to know that they are hurting themselves and I'm sure that anyone close to you (like your boyfriend) is very concerned and wants you to stop hurting yourself. I know that life can be difficult, trust me. I have had a pretty screwed up life too, but I'm alive, and that's all that matters. I have air in my lungs and tomorrow is a new day and only I decide how I deal with what the future brings.
