Cutting.
I've been cutting for a couple years now but lately it has been getting worse. I told a teacher, who is my friends mom on terms that she wouldn't report me or tell anyone because she isn't a teacher 24/7 so I was talking to her as my friend's mom. Well that was fine but I told her I would try to stop and if it got worse we could get me help. So I was wondering how your mom / dad or parent reacted when they found out. Or what happens when you go to a school consulor. Thanks.

well the school they have to tell someone they with me told these pro counslers and made a huge deal out of it and well it sucked and made it worse and well id would just tell your mom mine freaked but then she totally wanted to help so it really depends on how u tell her be calm.
hope it helped

well if you go to school, they'll probably tell your parents. and so i suggest you go to your parents. but um.
my mom was shocked. she didn't know i was so depressed.
i guess your parents will be in shock. and they might take more careful watch on you. i mean. they might not want you doing it. but i don't know your parents
but my mom was in utter shock, she didn't believe it and she was really sad and such. but yeah..
hope i helpedd.

its HIGHLY important to tell your parents. im 18, and if i had a kid who was doing that, i would be concerned. i wouldnt be mad, but i would want them to stop. tell a school consulor if its too hard. maybe they could do it for you and school consulors are better in a way cause they can give you the help you need and they are very supportive. so get help, please!

First, I would like to congratulate you on telling somebody. That must have been very difficult. It was very brave of you to do so.
Second, if your parents are anything like mine they will flip their lids. My parents freaked when they found out. What happened with me was that I was really upset one day at school and (for some stupid reason) I started doing it in the back of class. My teacher noticed and said something to guidance who, in turn, informed my parents. My parents just kind of talked to me about it and nothing really happned after that.
The councilor doesn't have a choice, they MUST inform your parents. It's the law... or, ya know, something along those lines.
Your parents reaction depends on your parents. They could be completely nonchalant about it or they could act the way I would hope most parents would act when they think their child may be depressed. They may have you see a therapist or they may not. It all depends...
Once again, it's great that you told somebody and I really hope this problem goes away for you. It's a tough battle. I've done it on and off for four years. It's not something I do quite often, but it's there when I need it. I suppose cutting is an addiction of sorts and I hope you can solve yours.
