I used to be and still some what am in your possition. When I was ten I started to cut. For about 4 years I cut and no one noticed. I was afraid to tell any one. I was afraid theyd judge me but one night I talked to my best freind about. I discovered that he cut to and even worse than I did. We both wanted to stop so we began to hold each other acontable. Now we wouldn't yell at each other when we cut but we'd try to help each other through the reason that we did cut. It felt good to know that some one actuly cared. Eventuly some people I didn't want to find out found out including my parents. They weren't mad but some what disapointed that I felt I couldnt trust them to tell them what was bothering me. Eventuly we found out I was bipolar and I've been able to find ways to help me stop cutting. When I feel the urge alot of the time I listen to my favorite songs or play my guitars or meditate. This has helped me alot. I'm not going to lie to you. I still cut but I went from a few times a day to once a week then eventualy once ever couple of months. Your right its very hard to tell people. If your afraid to tell your parents try to tell your best freind or some one who is close to you and keeps your secerets. Or write in a journal/diary. I started to and it helped me so much. I just wrote down my trouble and basicaly pretended that my journal was a freind who had no problems of his own but wanted to listen to mine. Message me if you ever need to talk. I would love to help.
