i broke up with my boyfriend like a month ago and i felt really low and i slit my wrists with exes on one arm and i really regret doing it now, i mean nobody would ever guess that i would be cutting myself. in gym class some of my friends asked what happened and i told them it was nothing but i think they are going to tell someone. i really don't want to talk to anyone about it because i stopped and it's not a problem anymore. i know now that it wasn't the best way to deal with things but now everytime i need to wear a t-shirt people notice my arm, and theres scars that won't go away. i tried putting coverup and stuff on it [yea i know im a retard lol] but they are really noticeable and i'm scared that if my parents find out they'll get really mad and not trust me anymore. i'm just really confused. what should i do??
Scribble answered Monday December 13 2004, 5:57 pm: The scars may go away in time depending on the position and depth of the wound. In the mean time if you find them embarrasing then you'll have to cover up. Coverup is good but if someone spots you are wearing it you may be in an even more awkward situation. Try jewellery instead. [ Scribble's advice column | Ask Scribble A Question ]

hope i helped
