I can't say anything to my mom and i recently went for help in school and when she found out she flipped. Im glad your friend stopped you. You are probably depressed well most likely. I advise you not to go to your school counselor because when i did that thay suspended me from school and shit happened. Ive never cut but my closest friends do and/or did. I know from wat they told me you can't contol it you're addicted. If you tell your mom she might cry and maybe get you some help. Or have your friend tell her mother. You clearly want help and need it because like you said you don't wanna die. there are many ways to get help. Have your friend tell her mom and maybe some way her mom could get you help or she could help you or she could tell your mom and take it from there. Growing up is tough and can and will (sometimes) bring you into depression. If you get help for it you might be cured after a while. I just advise you NOt 2 go to your school for help because well i know from experience wat will happen. But it is after all your choice do as you please but i beg you get help before you do something really bad.

When shes sitting down watching tv or relaxing or something sit down with her and say "mom .....theres something we need to talk about" tell her that you dont want her to get mad at you, because this is serious and you need help. If she gets mad at you, you need to talk to another family memeber because this is very serious, and you NEED to get help ASAP!!!
alys1223 answered Thursday January 4 2007, 10:46 pm: Well, you could try writing her a letter. Parents tend to listen to letters rather than there teen's talking. some parents just don't know how to handle it. you could also get persay your bestfriend to phone and talk to your mom when you are not home. maybe it will open her eyes.
as a side note: she should not be getting mad at you for asking for a pain killer! its just not right! if you are hurt you have every right to ask for help.
