Someone I know cuts, and when it finally came out people just brushed it under a rug and acted like nothing was wrong, which is the wrong way to go. You defintely need to talk about what's wrong and why you've been cutting. It's an emotional thing and if your friends are good/true friends they'll be accepting and try to help you on it. Don't hide the fact that you cut. Get help, either from friends, family, or even both. There are a lot of websites on cutting to which might be able to help you. But anyway, just talk to your friends it'll will probably be beneficial for you.

However, if you still think about doing that, you have a problem and you need to talk to someone about it. If you're going to tell your friends, don't tell all of them. Make sure you trust them with anything and they won't hate you. Make them understand and they'll always be your friends no matter what. Explain to them why you do what you do and next time you want to harm yourself, go to your closest friends and talk to them about it instead. [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]

But if you ever start up again, that is the time to talk with them about it, friends can really be supportive in times like that. [ BaLLaHoLLiC11's advice column | Ask BaLLaHoLLiC11 A Question ]
