First of all, i am so very sorry about what your family is going through. I understand how hard this must be for you. I have met some people who cut themselves because of all the pain and suffering they are going through. They said that cutting themselves gives them some sort of relief... at least for a while. It's as if as the blood is coming out of you, so is the pain and the troubles. To begin with, this is completely wrong. It might make you feel better for a minute or two, but after that, it only makes you feel worse. Before telling anyone anything, you have to figure this whole mess out by yourself. To begin with, you have to stop hurting yourself. Cutting won't fix anything! It will only make you feel worse and worse and eventually enter a severe depression. Some people end up commiting suicide! You dont want that, do you? Cause that would be a completely selfish act, judging by how your family is going through a terrible time already. Once you have all this straightened out, ask your parents if they have time to talk, and tell them how much this whole thing has really affected you and how you have been cutting yourself but managed to pull through. This way they will realize that you are also going to a tough time, and this will help you grow closer to your family every day. Everyone goes through trouble, so no one will look down on you. You are not alone. I will make a point to pray for your brother and family, and remember that if God brought you to it, he will bring you through it. Good Luck.

I am so sorry you and your family are suffering so much. You are going through so much as well as everyone else and it seems you have found a way of dealing with the stress but in a harmful fashion. Please know that your family cares about you just as much as they do your little brother. And you are just as important. I think talking to your grandmother is a wonderful idea. If you feel close to her and feel that you can open up with her please do so and right away. I don't belive that your family will look down up on you but rather they will reevaluate their relationship with you and realize that you need them right now as well. As a mother of three boys it would tear me apart to know that one of them was so unhappy and were cutting themselves. I would do any and everything to reassure them that I love them and everything will be ok. I think your family will feel the same. I don't think they will blame you but more so want to help make things better.
Please don't cut yourself anymore. You are worth so much more than all of this. I know life is really hard but your family needs you and your brother needs you to be strong to help push him through such a hard time too. You all have to work together as a family. Your needs are all different but your worth is the same. Your family would be just as hurt if something were to happen to you as they would any one else. Please just relax and open up to your grandmother or perhaps a good friend. Please know that you are a beautiful person on the inside as well as the outside and deserve to be happy and to have a bright future. But, you can not experience all the joys life will have to offer you if you let defeat take over. You are a strong person with so much to look forward to and so many dreams and goals to be acheived. Don't let this moment in time depict your eternity. You have way too much to offer then to throw in the towel now. I care about you and I know your family does too. You are not alone and you will be happy again I promise. But, please don't cut yourself and do talk to your grandma. You know she loves you.
