Telling parents about cutting


Question Posted Monday December 15 2003, 7:16 pm

Hey. I have been cutting for about the last 2 or 3 years and just stopped in the last 1 and a half months after going in the hospital for overdosing on Tylonal. Anyways, everybody knows about me cutting myself except my parents. I am surprised they do not see my scars since they are on my arm and are very contrasting with my skin color. (They are white and I am Italian so I am darker than most.) Anyways, I am thinking it is tiem to tell them, yet I have no idea how to approach this without them having me stay out of college for a quarter or taking all sharp objects away from me. I almost told them during Thanksgiving break but I wussed out. I am totally fine mentally and physically yet they will not believe that. If you have any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure everyone will agree with me, but I don't see why you need to tell your parents. They probably already know and are in denial anyway. If it's in the past and you don't do it anymore, than who cares? Why does it concern anyone?
