I used to hurt myself too, and it's not ok to do so, although it makes everything feel better. Cutting becomes an addiction, kind of like drugs or alcohal, after you have cut a lot, and you wont be able to stop. Thats what happened to me, and now it's extremely hard to stop, but I stopped for my friends and family's sake. I realized I was hurting them when I hurt myself and my friends were extremely pissed when they found out I did it.

I told the counselor when I decided to come out. She called my mom, who came up to the office with me and we talked about it for a good 3 hours. It feels better when you have someone there not a member of your family because it feels like there is someone "on your side" even if they arent. Your parents want to help you the best they can because they love you. They dont want anything bad to happen to you because you're their child and their world revolves around you basically. Telling your parents might shock them at first, and cause a lot of upset in the family, but after all the shock wears off, they will try to help you.After you tell them (if you do), Ask your parents for counseling. My mom is looking into it for me right now. Try it for a day or two and if you dont like it, dont go back.

Dont worry about what your teachers will think about it. My teachers havent noticed and the only one who knows is my english teacher but only because I wrote a paper on it. And your teachers are the same as your parents, they'll love you no matter WHAT happens!!!

I hope I helped some, remember the sooner you tell, the better off you'll be!!! SMILE!!!
