Roxy07 answered Thursday October 4 2007, 1:55 am: I think this is a brave thing for you to do! Well done :)
It's not really something that you can say in a certain way, your friends and family will react the same way no matter how many times you think you can tell them.
I would probably pick the family member or friend that you are closer to and tell them. You need to make them understand that it isn't an easy thing to just get over or to give up!!
Them perhaps after you have their support you can tell everyone else! That way everyone isn't making a big fuss all at the same time!
Although.. you might have to prepare yourself because others might not take it as well as some people!
I wish you all the best.. I hope you get better soon and I give you so much credit for trying!

The best way to handle things would be get it over with and tell them so you can move forward. Best of Luck!!! [ EXTREMERACERX02's advice column | Ask EXTREMERACERX02 A Question ]
TheTeenGirl answered Thursday October 4 2007, 1:35 am: I'd say the best way to approach your family is to sit down with all or a family member and just say,
"I've been really (however you feel) and I have been cutting. I know I said that I haven't, but I didn't want to make anyone upset."

Best thing to do is just come clean about it, like ripping off a band aid.
The sooner you tell them, the sooner they can do something different to help you.
