karenR answered Tuesday July 12 2005, 5:12 pm: I think you should just be honest about them. Tell them the truth. If they choose not to believe you then that's their problem. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
xBestAddiction answered Tuesday July 12 2005, 3:51 pm: You could say you fell and got cut up. Or maybe if you have any younger siblings say they scratched you cause you were bugging them. I can't really think of any other realistic answers but I hope I helped! [ xBestAddiction's advice column | Ask xBestAddiction A Question ]

XxBlink_182_fanxx answered Monday July 11 2005, 11:23 pm: well say they're cat scratches or cuts from when you were in some woods and you were cut up by thorns.that or you could try with the truth and reasure them that they were done a long time ago. and that you've stoped and its not going to happen again.
ElmosBrightStar answered Monday July 11 2005, 10:58 pm: Okay, well one of my best friends was a cutter, and if you are, you need to seek help because it's not healthy. If you're not, and they were there from before, you need to explain that to everyone and let them know you're happy and you have no reason to help. Give them an example even, of why you have one of the scars (i.e., you scratched yourself when climbing a tree) [ ElmosBrightStar's advice column | Ask ElmosBrightStar A Question ]

Flap715JackHelper answered Monday July 11 2005, 8:32 pm: you could tell them that they are birthmarks or that you don't remember ever seeing them before, or you can go to ur local drug store and get some co co butter scar remover and see if it helps make the mgo away so no one will ask about them any more. Hope it works! [ Flap715JackHelper's advice column | Ask Flap715JackHelper A Question ]
Juliett answered Monday July 11 2005, 7:30 pm: Well you can always tell them over the years of childhood you go through events. They involve fights, disscussion, threats, and more. You can say they are bad memorys of the past. You can tell them [[ in a very stern voice ]] if you ever had the idea to to a blade to your arm you would seek for help with them or a profesional theropist or something.

passionate answered Monday July 11 2005, 7:29 pm: Well, if you climb trees you could say that you were climbing a tree a while ago and a tree branch dug into your skin.

JaCkIexDeE answered Monday July 11 2005, 7:23 pm: Don't make up excuses! You know the truth, you do not cut yourself! Look the people who think you cut yourself in the eye and say with a serious voice that you have never done this, and that they are old scars. If they still do not give in, just say you know the truth and they can think whatever they please. [ JaCkIexDeE's advice column | Ask JaCkIexDeE A Question ]
Mami0s0xclusivex3 answered Monday July 11 2005, 6:59 pm: ok, well for one, you shouldnt cutt your self, thats not a cool thing to do, i give a lot of people advice about cutting themselves becasue i used to do it too, and now i have to make up excuses too, i just amke up stories, like i fell off my bike or i ran into a fence, which i have done before haha, But i hope you dont cutt your self no more because you could get horrible skin problems, trust me i would know. But yeah some excuses..
1: you fell and your arm got caught on a fence
2: you were running outside and you ran through pricker bushes haha i used that one before and it works
3: a friends cat cut you really bad
4: a friends big mastiff (thats my dog, their really huge and they have long nails) was playing around with you and excidentally stepped on you
5: a bird or something scratched you
6: a fish hook cutt you (that happend to me before and a i have a big scar)
Scribble answered Monday July 11 2005, 5:57 pm: You know, i used to work as a night porter in a restaurant, and one night i was cleaning one of the steel vents, and some water dripped into the fat fryer. It spat out hot fat onto my left arm and i now have a series of regular scars about two inches long from where i was burnt. Try blaming it on cooking injuries, although it the cuts weren't TOO serious the scars will eventually fade. [ Scribble's advice column | Ask Scribble A Question ]
LoViny0ux914 answered Monday July 11 2005, 5:39 pm: you could tell them you were playing tag with some friends are you fell and your arm skidded on some concrete, blame it on a pet of yours or if you dont have any you could say it was a friends pet, or you could say you had a really bad itch and you scratched it too much. xo!

XKill_The_PainX answered Monday July 11 2005, 5:33 pm: Instead of making excuses you should be trying to stop. This is my opinion.
and as a former "cutter", myself, I would say that quitting would be the best thing you could do for yourself. I know it is very difficult to stop, but it is possible and you will thank yourself for it later.
jbdreamer answered Monday July 11 2005, 5:32 pm: Why do you need excuses? Just tell them the truth - that they are old scars from -------. If they don't believe you, that's their problem. But if you are not telling the truth, then YOU have the probelm. [ jbdreamer's advice column | Ask jbdreamer A Question ]
