Well, I've had diffuculties with the same thing, so I know where you're coming from. The first thing is, you really ought to stop cutting yourself. Yeah, okay, your life sucks, but try talking to your parents instead of telling them to back off. If you get aggressive, your parents will just dish it right back out to you and probably get even more protective. I know it seems annoying, but it will make you seem more mature if you're willing to sit down and talk instead of just sulk. Hopefully that will put to rest some of your mom's worries and you can get on with your life.

Just talk to her about it, But also cutting is not something good, if you cant stop u may want to get help with it, to find out what is wrong I used to do something close to that but not as bad as cutting, they talked me out of it b4 i got that far into it Good Luck with it.

I think that u should try to help urself to stop cutting, I mean I use to be a cutter and I help myself to stop by thinkin wat i have to look forward to in life like, getting married, having kids and all that otha stuff. So just think of all the things that u will be able to do in the near future.

Hope I helped!

P.S. and it also helps if u have one really close friend that tells u wat will happen if u die. I have this friend Zach, and he helped me stop cutting cuz he made me realize wat I have to look forward to in life.

She's probably asking about it aswell as the other people, simply because they care about you. If you really don't want them up in your bizz, just tell them you need some time to think about it and have time to yourself. I'm sure they'll back of a bit. But, just know your friends and family are always gunna be there for you and worried. That's the main reason their asking questions, it's out of love =)

I kno its hard n it gets frustrating, but your mom n everyone else is just trying to help. They care about you n what happens to you. I had tha same problem n I got help cuz I listened to everyone. Just give it some time n think about how much they really care about you, n dont cut yourself anymore. If you ever need to talk or anything just leave me a message :-) Goodluck hun xOx

i can see why you want them to stop bugging you, but they're just trying to help. they care about you and they want you to stop. maybe you should try talking to them and tell them that you don't want to talk to them about cutting anymore. hopefully that helps. good luck

I'm sorry, that sucks. But it really it only because she cares about you, just keep yourself that. It might be worth having a talk with her, telling her that you know she loves you and is concerned, but that she's really not helping the situation. Good Luck.

I think that you should listen to your mother, then tell her your side of the story. If you explain to her why you do it, maybe she can help you or she will learn that it's your thing and she should let you do what you want to do.

Talk to them about it, it tell them that if they dont back off you the more your going to do it b/c all the pressure and stress there putting u under and if they still dont listen then theres not much u can do ther just trying to help u b/c cutting is a seriouse problem i know it helps with pain i used to do it but dont make it a habit.....hope i helped if u need anything else then drop one
