I cut myself (for personal reasons) but i do it below the wrist. And I try to hide it. But I can't. It's not cold here, so wearing long-sleeves doesn't make sense. When people see it, they get really freaked out. What are some reasons, that make sense, which I can tell people, so they won't think I'm cutting myself?
slipdeathfindlife93 answered Saturday April 28 2007, 4:29 pm: This is rediculous. I have told two of my friends. And they have kept it quiet for several weeks. Then just a few days ago they decide its time to tell a teacher. I was definitely mad, but i knew i needed help. I know you want to hide it. Dont lie, just tell the truth, people understand. I am done with cutting, it hurt, but it felt better. Its an urge i am dealing with. tell me how i helped. [ slipdeathfindlife93's advice column | Ask slipdeathfindlife93 A Question ]
AskJR answered Monday April 23 2007, 10:06 am: If you're looking for empowerment to cut yourself here, then I am appalled at any Advicenator that gives you made up excuses to offer for this sickness.
Stop it.
Get help.
Tell your family.
Talk to a counselor, a doctor, a hotline!!!!
There is NO LIE you can tell for cutting. It's just a LIE to your sickness.
sarah0308 answered Sunday April 22 2007, 10:11 pm: hm i cut sometimes. and i think the same pLace you do. beLow the wrist. but once i put a band-aid over it and said i burnt myseLf cooking. it worked. my teacher and friends beLieved it, before they found out the truth. so yeah that couLd work once or twice.

Genrawks2 answered Sunday April 22 2007, 7:59 pm: Cuttings stoopid =D
in my opinion.
I have too many friends that do it so I wanna rip their arm off so they cant do it anymore =]
anyways.
but you can say that your cat scratched you..
Unfortunatly, thats what one of my friend says.
aksdhfaskdjf. Or that you cut yourself with glass on accident [ Genrawks2's advice column | Ask Genrawks2 A Question ]
mysteriousR answered Sunday April 22 2007, 7:21 pm: well i might have a few reasons. you could say you fell and accidently scratched it on concrete or on glass. maybe try paper cuts if you are willing to try. and maybe you could say an adorable animal accidently cut you. I too cut myself (when i'm emotionally suffering) but on my left hand on the visible part like below my knuckles. i had 3 cuts but now scars but they weren't that serious but recently i got so hurt i did a long,deep cut across my whole hand but now its just a huge scar. people did see it and asked how i got it and i just admitted it they were shocked at first and gave me weird looks but they accepted me. so my other advice is maybe to just be open about it and hope that people will accept you but only if you are willingly to do so. hope i helped.

happybabe2 answered Sunday April 22 2007, 6:46 pm: ok well i agree with the 2 people below me..you shouldnt cut yourself and you should get help but i personally have never cut myself so if this is a bad suggestion then im sorry... why not try like those big bracelet bangle type things..i dont know if that would work but yea
hope i helped
sally91 answered Sunday April 22 2007, 6:14 pm: hay
you shoudnt cut yourself... i use to about 2 years ago and i got the scars to prove it. i wish i hadnt coz of the scars that make it oviouse that id cut myself before.. trust me its not worth it.
but anyway just if your not going to stop then you should get help or if NOT the best thing is to cover it up or say the cat scratched you or something but you cant use that excuse all the time and people will soon realise. [ sally91's advice column | Ask sally91 A Question ]
