  Babe, you HAVE to tell. I'm really sorry, but if it's this out of control you HAVE to tell. When I asked a question about cutting on this site I told people NO to me telling someone, but I did. I'm sorry that this isn't what you want to hear. But I don't care. I mean this is really dangerous. A good way to keep your dignity and tell at the same time is do what I did. I was to embararrased to actually tell someone, and I didn't know who I could turn to. I sent out an anonymous e-mail to a teacher sort of asking for help. Just make up a yahoo e-mail adress (b/c they're free) use a fake name on it. Like I think mine was just Wishful Thinker... make up a fake birthday, and all that, because most likely the teacher will try and find out who you are. Then e-mail them. Be like, I need help, but I don't want anyone to know who I am because I have dignity and don't want to lose it. Then say stuff like I'm addicted to cutting. I can't stop. Whenever I feel a bad emotion I just do it. 
Please, help me. 
^And that can be your e-mail, unless you probably would want to add some more into it. But please please tell somebody. If I hadn't of told anyone, I would've thought my life had no meaning, and I would've eventually committed suicide. I might not know you, but I don't want that to happen to you. Every life has a purpose, you won't find that person if you don't live long enough to. I learned that, and I wish you would too!!!!!!! Please, please please, if you want to e-mail me with the whole situation, or more bits and pieces of it, Basketball_Babii_08@yahoo.com!!!!!!!!! 
 
If you seriously don't want to tell someone, the number to teen talk is on my column, and here's a website that somebody gave to me. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) 
On that website I think it's the left hand that has more links, if you scroll down, and just look through the links, then there's one that gives you alternatives to cutting. And it's also kind of a little chat thing. But PLEASE, you don't know what you're doing to yourself. I've had friends committ suidide because they thought nobody cared, in reality you're hurting the people around you. For you, maybe you aren't thinking about death, maybe you just want a way to relieve the pain... well hun, eventually it's going to kill you!!!!!! Please, if you wan't someone to talk to, and you want it to be anonymous, e-mail me!!!! Or if you wanted something more specific then drop another in the inbox. I know you said not to tell you to tell someone. But you will not lose your dignity, they will get you the help you need. You can't overcome cutting without any help!!!!! To tell you the truth, I recentley did it, it's one of the toughest habits I've ever tried to stop... and I was anorexic, if you'd think anorexia is a tough thing to stop... well then not compared to cutting. When I was really depressed, I wrote poems, they weren't very good, but this kids in my math class found out I wrote them (and though he's a real tough guy... he writes poems too) but he read them and said they were good. But besides the point. Poems don't have to rhyme, just write them to get out your feelings. Or draw. Whether you just make a collage of dark colors, or whether you're a good artist and you can draw. Or paint, or make stuff.... or listen to music/sing. I am going to be late for school if I go on an on with what you can do instead of cut, but e-mail me Basketball_Babii_08@yahoo.com, IM me (xo Krazi Kate ox <-- AIM, Maniac_Munchkin <--yahoo) or drop another one in the inbox. 
Gotta go to school, bye!!!!  ]
