i need help with cutting...
I'm really not the emo type. I'm a cheerleader, age 16 , and I sing and play violin.. but suddenly my dad has been acting like such an asshole to me. He yells at me over nothing. I could be studying silently and he'd yell that I was being lazy and needed to clean. Anyways, I have a swiss pocket knife I took from him when I got mad and never had intentions of using it. One day I felt like shit and he was going off again and I didn't even know what I was doing but I cut all up and down my one arm and I did feel better. However I need to stop. No parents or doctors or adults involved. I can't deal with them. Please help..

Well you have to involve someone you need some help miss I'm sorry but self-harm is a serious matter I should know I've done it before. It might of felt good but one day you can make a mistake and cut a vein (god forbid) and end up dying. don't pay mind to your father I'm sure if you explain how you felt to him he would cut the shit out.

Despite what you think, you really do need to involve someone in this. An adult you can whole heartedly trust. Self harm can be extremely addictive, destructive and influence your entire life. You need to talk to someone about how youre feeling and learn how to cope with stressful situations in a more positive manner.
Have you ever approached your father, really calmly and quietly, and just simply asked him why he's yelling at you? Have you had a proper conversation about how you treat eachother, how you affect one another? Your fathers mood swings are not going to just disappear - if anything, it sounds as if they may escalate - so, like the cutting, you need to nip this in the bud before the situation worsens.
If you dont feel confident enough to approach him on your own, find that trusted individual and approach him togeather.
Learning interpersonal skills and coping mechanisms are things we all need to learn in life. Dont let your problems cripple or force you into a desperate act. There are people who can help. Dont shut them out.

I'm sorry honey, but there's no way anyone can tell you to handle this on your own. You're going to have to talk to someone and it's going to have to be an adult outside your home. Someone is going to see these cuts on your arm sooner or later and all teachers are state mandated to report this type of behavior. Cutting can become a powerful addiction, like any other addiction and it will become more and more difficult for you to stop on your own. Please, for your own safety and well-being tell someone soon.

you and your dad both need help. you need to tell someone because if you don't things will only get worse. Please get help cutting yourself doesn't do you any good. You need to tell someone, because eventually someone will notice the cuts on your arms. I hope i helped and you get help.
