Maybe give some free advice about: Injuries?
you need to think to yourself. you know that you need to stop, you just said you do. try sitting by yourself sometime and just think of what cutting is helping...you'll relize, it isnt. think of some other things you can do instead. workout, scream in a pillow, do something that will focus your thoughts on some thing else while getting your anger and emotions out in a smart and healthy way, that you wont regret later. if you wont tell someone, you need to work on it on your own. help yourself before others get help for you. take charge of your life, because it is YOUR life, you're the one to guide it, and you're the one to end it. think about it.

I know you think cutting is the only way to feel better, but it's not. it's only an illusion. I cut a few times and the first times it felt so good because I felt like I deserved it and I hated myself. But in the long run it made me feel worse about myself. I was afraid of what would happen if someone found out, what people would think of me, and all things like that. You should try talking to a consuller or a therapist, I know that may sound scary but it WILL help. I hated to open up to people but once I found the right person to talk to everything just spilled out. Cutting is not the only solution.

welll im sure thehuss didnt help..im sorry but that was completly rude..anyway maybe it is better if your parents do find out, in this type of situation you need guidence. my friend did the same thing and she now doesnt do it because she confronted her parents about how she was feeling and she got conciling and it really helped her..right now all you need to worry about is how to stop and find other ways to vent..try punching a pillow or write in a journal that always helps..but like i said i think you should talk to your parents i hope i helped

cuttin is a bad thing to do. even though you might think your life is horrible its not. i know you can find all the bad things to point out but try to focus on the good things in life! and i doubt your parents would send you away. they might get you counciling but thtas the best thing for you!!
remember you have ppl everywhere that love you!!

uh i cut to its not a problem to me. . anyways i dont care.. and i love degrassi. Oh and I started when i was in 3rd grade i think. I dunno. anyways juss tell them why u do that and they will helkp juss ask yer friend nicely and explain.
]
the reason people might be acting like that is because they dont want anything to do with someone who cuts.

Why the hell did u start cutting yourself, its so stupid! Um u need to go to a mental hospital.!
I love degrassi!!!

yeah well your not the only one who does this. i saw that show too. you should try to stop if you can't then ummm i know i'm suppose to tell you to stop but if you really can't stop and you can't tell anyone then just wear long sleeve shirts at gym and everywhere. and don't cut your legs. i know thats really wrong, but i know its hard to stop once you start. its almost like smoking you get addicted.

i found out that when your cutting yourself you mostly do it for attention evevthough you may not realize it. the best thing for you to do is stop and find another way to express yourself cuz cutting could lead to other things and their not worth it

i have seen that eppisode degrassies my favert t.v show but that was ment to show you how much it sucks to go through all that i have been through it and i wish i never started because it is a addiction it is really hard to stop so you need help from a consular its the only way out i learnd that the hard way 59 scars later

you probably don't want to listen to this, but the best thing to do if you can't stop yourself is to tell someone, like a counselor or a parent. if you talk to them honestly and calmly and tell them you want to be able to stop without being sent to a mental hospital, they will probably do whatever they can to help you. it won't be an easy road, but you will have to start being open about your feelings and how everything has been affecting you. please, i encourage you to get some help, and just start trying to be happy again, it will come. if you need anything, email me, Metalkat86@hotmail.com
i'll be glad to help.

You might not want to hear this, but perhaps you should go and talk to someone about it. If you can't stop yourself, then you have to realize you need outside help. Have you ever thought that your friends dont want to be around you because your sad and depressed? The more sad you get, the less they want to be around you, the sadder you become. A vicious circle, but that might be whats wrong. Go to your best friends and ask them why they don't want to do anything, and tell them that you need their help to cheer up.

Don't stress too much. Whoever finds out, the world won't end, and I sincerely doubt that you'll be committed. If a councillor finds out, he/she/whatever will definitely talk to you. Explain that you've been under a lot of stress lately, and that it's great stress relief. I wouldn't try denying it; quitting a habit like that will be hard, as you've discovered, and you will need help with it.
They will definitely talk to your parents, who should be concerned about you and try to help. They might have you see a psychologest/psychiatrist/whatever - which, let's face it, you probably need - and possibly you will get a happy pill prescription - which just about everyone, especially you - needs.
And if your friend doesn't tell anyone, you should go to a councillor yourself and explain the situation. You might even be able to convince them to leave your parents out of it.

first of all, degrassi is the GREATEST show ever and you can learn ALOT from watching it.
second of all, cutting yourself is NOT a good thing. your friend cares about you, and thats why she wants to tell the councelor, and if thats what it will take to get you to stop, you should let her. you know its the best thing for you. if you dont think you have the willpower to stop yourself, let someone else help you to stop.
good luck!
