um.. ok i go to a catholic school and i'm going through rough times. i know many of my friends who've cut themselves well i was doing my s.studies project and i was using sharp scissors and i was questioning myself if it would go through my skin b/c the last time i had i tried to cut myself it didnt work.. well this time it did. so know i have 3 cuts on my arm, i seriously regret doing it, i showed my mawmaw and im never doing it again BUT i have a passion play tommorow and i'm afraid that my religion teacher will see it.. should i be afraid or is there any tips to hide it b/c a big band-aid will be noticable. thanks for the help

jollyholly answered Saturday March 26 2005, 6:12 pm: hey! i used to cut myself, and now i have 12 permanent scars on my arm. the only reason the scars are still there is b/c i picked at the scabs which was a VERY bad idea! one thing you could temporarally do, is put some concealer on the scars. that may sound crazy, but it works! just promise me you'll NEVER cut yourself again!!! all it ever leads to is getting bad rumors started about you. i hope you feel better!

dreamingkat answered Thursday March 24 2005, 4:06 pm: Don't stress on it. If she notices, and ask, tell her you cut yourself while doing your social studies project. It's true - you don't need to go into detail. If she pushes, tell her your not comfortable, and suggest she talk to you mother about it (since you've already told your mom, this shouldn't be a problem).

SimplyMe answered Thursday March 24 2005, 10:25 am: dont try to make it too obvious that you're trying to hide it, because then the teacher will know your hiding something and be even more curious.. try rinsing it out so there's on scars on there, not too much red..and then use cover-up..and unless she asks you about it, dont say anything..and go about your normal routine, it makes things look normal and nothing to be suspicious about.. but if worst comes to worse tell her you have a cat..or that you laid down on a bed and didnt see the scissors there..

mysticpixie05 answered Thursday March 24 2005, 9:46 am: its cool. u shouldnt really worry about it. but if u...
if the cuts have stared to heal and are lke scabbing already then use some cover up on it. blend it in. if the cuts are still open in any way though, dont do that. u dont want them to get infected. [ mysticpixie05's advice column | Ask mysticpixie05 A Question ]
ballerina04 answered Thursday March 24 2005, 7:57 am: It's good you realized what you did, and said you were never doing it again. You could always try a concealer over it. If someone asks what it's from, you can tell them what you did, or not tell them. It's your business. Send me something if you need more help. ♥ Kristen [ ballerina04's advice column | Ask ballerina04 A Question ]
karenR answered Thursday March 24 2005, 1:35 am: Don't be afraid, be brave.And don't lie! If she see's it and asks,tell her you cut yourself.Don't go into great detail unless she presses you about it.
If she does,tell her about it.You can use all the support you can get to prevent it happening again.:}
PS...If cut is fresh don't put make up on it.Will cause infection and then you will be in agony.If it's not a fresh cut,could be a good idea. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
punkrockprincess answered Thursday March 24 2005, 1:03 am: Being in a Catholic school and having cuts on your arm isn't a very good mix. So I would be kind of nervous if I were you. Go to a drugstore and buy some foundation (doesn't matter if it's liquid or not) and that should cover it. Try putting some pouder over it also to make it look more natural. But not too much. And make sure to blend well. But make sure the foundation is just a tad bit darker than your skin color! But before any makeup, some medicine on it like that scar stuff. I don't know what it's called but it's yellow and white I think...
KaTiE_LyNn answered Thursday March 24 2005, 12:47 am: i`m glad you realized you should never do it again. if you have a pet, just say they scratched you. you could try to use concealor.. but that might be slightly obvious. put neosporin on it like every hour and that WILL make it go away faster. just try some things.
