They'll understand and probably keep the conversation private. But cutting isn't the answer. People do them cause they think it is. But to me, it makes things worst. Once you start you probably can't stop.
I don't know that for sure, because I never cut myself in my life. But I hope you change your mind about cutting.
corvin answered Thursday March 23 2006, 5:13 am: Cutting seems to be the 'trend' lately. Don't follow trends, be yourself, find another way to let the stress out like beating the fuck out of a pillow or something. You don't have to follow the fashion lead in everything you do.

I've cut myself once before because everyone says its a way to relieve stress, and when I did it I thought, why the fuck would that relieve stress when it only causes pain. Don't take your anger out on your body. You should know there are people out there to help you, such as a guidence counselor, were you can learn how to cope with your emotions someway else.Your are not crazy, but you do need to tell someone how you feel. Don't be afraid to either.
Good luck hun. [ XSugarPieX77's advice column | Ask XSugarPieX77 A Question ]
tapdiva answered Wednesday March 22 2006, 6:05 pm: Well, how did you feel after you cut yourself? Better, worse, all of the above? Most people just like to experiment and try new things (even things that are not good for them like cutting). You are NOT crazy. Just calm down the next time and think about what is making you mad. Then think about how you can fix it. [ tapdiva's advice column | Ask tapdiva A Question ]
Alpha345 answered Wednesday March 22 2006, 6:03 pm: Well, why can't you tell your parents?
Most people who cut aren't crazy, but they do need help. As said before, it can be addicting. I've had friends before who have cut, and one in particular that did and we made her promise to stop. But then, me and some of her closests friends found out she was doing it again a few months later. You need to just stop now before you do it again. If you are upset over something, then find a safer and more reliable outlet to release your emotions and stress, because cutting will only consume, temporary relief is not permanent.
If you do happen to do it again for any reason, I would most definately tell your parents. If you are doing it without them knowing and they find out, you will be in alot worse trouble than if you just told them. If you tell them, sure it will be weird and there will probably be some emotions, but the end result will be alot better than if they just found out.
Short and sweet, don't do it again and just forget you did it in the first place. Find a better place to put your emotions and stress, and you'll be fine.
XOXKAYLA answered Wednesday March 22 2006, 5:39 pm: Ok, since you've only did it once, then don't do it again. Stop yourself next time. If you get upset again, go read a book or watch tv. that always works for me, or punch something. its better to break your hand then have scars on your wrists, and go to a mental home. if you cant stop doing it then you need to tell your parents. but if you know you wont do it again, then its ok not to tell them. Just think of the people that smoke. they started either because they thought it was cool, or because they thought it would get away their pain. well look at them now they are stuck waisting their money and having bad lungs the rest of their life. Dont let that happen to you, by cutting your self. be strong and prevent it. Just because you get upset or are having a bad day dont mean you go cut yourself. its not cool and not safe. JUST DONT DO IT AGAIN.
christina answered Wednesday March 22 2006, 4:58 pm: You do need help. Cutting is a very addicting thing, and only doing it once may make you wanna do it again. People who cut aren't necessarily crazy, although some people think they are because they wonder why someone may wanna hurt themselves. I used to cut, so I know how you feel, but I do it for many reasons. Fighting, depression, that stuff. Go to this site for help.
It can tell you how to get help, and how to stop. Don't cut anymore, it's addicting and it's so hard to stop. And it's not healthy for you at all. And it only hurts the people you love.
