I know how you feel. I started cutting when I was your age, and still am 9 years later. I dont cut as bad as I did then, but I still feel like that is the only thing to turn to when i'm so worked up and thats the only way to let it out. My parents were able to see the scars, and when questioned about it I told them that i "used" to and dont anymore. They believed me, but I lied. Maybe if I had told them the truth that I had a problem, maybe I would have had the help and support I needed and would be over it. Today, I have scars all over my legs and upper arms. I think that is what helps sometimes when I want to cut again. I don't want people to see, so I hide them. I wear pants all year long, and big shirts with sleeves. Summer is miserable. You should tell someone, get help now before it gets worse. If you are too embarrased to tell your parents,like I was, talk to someone else about it who will be there for you. It's not something that just goes away. I wish you luck and support and If you ever need to talk about it or ask questions, email me. meg063085@aol.com

if you are still cuting then yes i think you should tell some 1 but if you realy are close 2 your coach then tell her if not you can go 2 a counselor or some other person your parents or even a friend...if you stoped cuting then i realy dnt think you need 2 tell any 1 if you stoped... just put a lil foundation on it...there are also so bleaching creams you can buy and use 2 make the scarres fade away...4 now hows a bout band aids?:]
hope i helped...:]

tell her and your parents! you need help hun, and your parents [or some other trusted adult] are the only ones that can help you. the more you try to hide it, the worse the stuation is going to get. if you dont tell your coach and she finds out, she will (A) tell your parents (B) make you get help (C) cut you from the team. she can do all of the above. so come straight out and tell her.. and tell her that you are gong to get help... because you need too.
Good luck with everything.

Yes you need to tell her. You also need to seriously talk with your parents or other adult that can help you get to a counselor. Cutting yourself is not okay. It means you need someone to talk to that can help you learn other ways to cope and deal with issues other than hurting yourself.
If you don't ask for help, sooner or later someone will catch on and will force help on you. You're 14 and have a lot of life left to live and you're young enough to move past this and live those years happily. I speak from experience.
