Cutting is really hard to stop. If you have the courage, talk to a counselor or parent. If you REALLY need the feeling of cutting, then put a rubber band on you wrist like a bracelet and every time you get the urge to cut, just snap it. This will soon brake the addiction. Try to go as long as you can without snapping it. ]
I know iths sounds stupid, but you should tell your parents. It's seriously so unhealthy. they wont be mad if you tell them, they iwll just try and get you help and honestly that will be the best thing for you. your parents arent going to hate you if you have a problem they will just try and help you because they will always be there for you. so please tell some one! ]
the best way is to tell someone about it that you can trust and you no they wont tell your rents unless its getting pretty bad and tell them to keep an eye on you and make them try to help you stop it helped me and i haventdone it in 8 months thanx to my now boy friend so yeah it helps message me if you have any other ?'s on this subject hang in there y-vet ]
Hey. I really think you should seek help. Is there anyone close that you could speak to about why you do it? You should go to the doctors and tell them about this too. It's very dangerous and your just hurting yourself. You need to help yourself. ]
From experience- don't tell your parents. I know its the "right" thing to do, but from my experience, they get way too mad, and start controlling everything. Then you'll proly want to even more.
If you use a knife, hide it. Don't go near the knife drawer at all. If its a razor, duh, you can't avoid it, but be careful. don't use it when your angry or upset.
Some people use a rubber band on their arm, and snap it instead. However, this is another self abuse, and still is termed as SI. I also have a friend who uses jaw clips on her arms when she wants to cut. Again, still termed as SI.
My personal favorites are writing FULL OUT NO HOLDS BARRED blogs or journal entries or letters, private of course, or taking red markers and marking out the area I am wanting to cut. I also have friends who go scream at trees, but this is extreme, and tends to alert others to schitzophrenic behaviors. :/
LOL. Any specific questions[and yes, I can probably answer] send to my inbox. *huggles*

If you want to stop cutting, tell a parent, or a trusted adult. They can help you get the help and medication needed. If you are worried about telling someone because of their reaction, sit them down when you are ready and just explain to them why you did it. Which yeah can be hard, but do it to the best of your ability. Next time you go to the doctor, ask him/her if they recomend a therapist (spelling) they would be happy to help. Cutting yourself is a searious thing that needs professional, tell an adult, and things will get better. ]
Tell you're parents if they don't know. If they aren't any help, tell your school counselor. Cutting is very common with girls your age, and I'm sure your counselor can help you a lot. They probably have a group you can join with other people who are overcoming this problem. You need to address the real problem and find out why you're doing this to yourself. Underneath "it feels good" or "it makes me feel alive," there's a real reason you're doing this and once you uncover what that reason is, you can begin to heal and overcome this problem. ]
