Question Posted Friday May 18 2007, 5:54 pm

I started self harming about a year and a half-2 years ago..

Stopped about a month or so ago..
but ive started again..

and school have found out..
but they have no proof, cause im almost certain that no-ones seen..

my parents are split up, and i generally wear hoodies and a watch/ bracelet over my wrist..

but, what if im asked to show my rists..
what can I say to stop them seeing.
Do i have to show them?

I also have me Home Economics practical on Monday, and have to take the watch off..
any way that I can reduce the scars even if I stop now?

Thanks
-TG

If they are healed you can try using some
foundation type make-up. That might work.
Carry it in your pocket because you may have to
re-apply it.

They also make some pretty large band aids.
It may draw attention but might work.

I don't know how it would work in the home-ec
department, but if a watch will cover it, maybe
you could wear a hair tie thing or two on your wrist. I always have a couple of on my arm. I doubt they would draw attention. I wish I could remember what they are called.

Scrunchies...thats what they are. :)

If you do get found out though, realize they are only trying to help. Most kids do need outside help to stop. I hope you can do it on your own,
but if you can't please take help for it. There
are other ways to deal with stress & depression.
Sure hope you find them. Good luck sweetie. :)
