How can I hide the scars?
Do you know of anyways to hide cutting scars? Or stop cutting? My boyfriend spazed out on me last night when he found out so I need a nice way to stop, the rubber band thing doesn't work well for me...And I also need a way to hide the scars from my family.

You need to stop cutting. If you don't, the scars will get harder to hide.
I used to cut, and I usually just wear hoodies because my arms are horrid, and it's really noticable. If that's not an option, get scar cream or something.
Other than that, I don't know what to tell you. See a psychiatrist so you can get on your way to becoming mentally healthy again.

First you need to work out what part of cutting yourself makes you feel better.
Seeing blood - If seeing yourself bleed is what makes you feel some release and better about yourself then just drip red paint onto your wrists. Personally, i used strawberry moisurises because it had strawberry extracts in that made it look like blood if you didnt rub it in properly. It was good for my skin too which was a bonus.
Pain - If it's the pain that makes you feel better, then use ice cubes on your wrists. It hurts and stings but wont cause you any damage.
As for hiding the scars, i just wore long sleves, or you could put a bandgae on and say you've sprained your wrost.
Or you could try bio oil which reduces scarring

alright finally a question i can relate to =) alright i was in your position not ot long ago and i can't say it's easy to stop cutting but there is easy ways to control it like you the wubber band thing did not work for me and right now it's getting cold so you could get away w/ always wearing long sleeves and when it's night time you could either wear long sleeves or wear a sweat shirt and say your really cold that worked for me i never got caught and as for the cutting have your boyfriend help thats wut i did when i was around him i'd have him check my arms everyday and then i would have my frineds check em when he wasn't around and i had 3 chances to cut and them not say anything and when i ran out of chances i told them they needed to go an tell an adult that i was a cutter and of course i stopped because i didn't want them to tell anyone so yeah that worked for me i hope i helped and hang in there it will get better from a friend yvette

I used to cut and I would wear long sleeves and/or lots of bracelets. I was in the ninth grade a really depressed. Plus, back when I was in ninth grade all those Lance Armstrong LiveStrong bracelets were popular along with breast cancer bracelets, etc. so I had tons of them and my scars weren't noticable at all...
Despite the hypocracy, I do not condone this behavior. I've been there, done that and I know how dangerous and upsetting it is. I was able to get help and you should really do the same. The only reason cutting makes people feel better is the endorphines it releases (endorphines pretty much make you feel happy). Whether you tell your parents, a teacher, a guidance councilor, a friends parent, etc. you NEED to tell someone who can get you the help you need.
Luckily I had a teacher I was really close with and I opened up to her. She was able to help me by just being there. I had a few people I cared about pass away and I really just needed stability in my life. She was, in a way, my stability. Knowing that there would be someone in my life who would really be there helped me. I no longer felt the need to cut.
Here is an amazing website which I joined when I was having troubles. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
I had actually asked for advice on this very website over 3 years ago and this is the site I was given.
PLEASE, PLEASE try and get some help. Cutting is very serious and can leave permanant scars! You do not want that, trust me. I still have my scars and people still ask. Lucky for me they haev faded quite a bit so they are becoming more unnoticable each day. It's been a good two years since the last time I cut my wrist. I think about it a lot but there are so many other options. Screaming into a pillow, blasting loud music, running, writing, etc. Writing has become my outlet. Whenever I feel any negative emotion I start writing. I've taken refuge in creative writing classes at my school, especially since that teacher I mentioned no longer works at my school. I've been used to seeing her at least two or three times a week during the year. I've spoken to her maybe twice through e-mail this year. It's really weird and kind of ruins the stability thing for me but I can handle it because I was taught to be strong emotionally and to take charge of my life. I can choose how to handle certain situations and so can you!
Cutting is not something you HAVE to do; it is something you WANT to do. You can learn to get past that want; you need to learn to get past that want.
If you ever need to talk let me know, I'm sure I can be of some help.

I don't know much about this stuff, but let me try.
I know that Naderma [spelling is wrong] for kids works amazing, whether your a kid or not, it gets the scars away or almost gone.
