It may be a result of some guilt you are placing on yourself or as a result of being bullied at school. Either way it's very hard for parents to comprehend how someone could do such a thing. They may think you are attention-seeking. You need to seek emotional therapy, this isn't a physical problem, it's a psychological one. If nothing else reach out to the counselor or nurse at your school, under HIPPA laws they have to protect your confidentiality but they will help you figure out where to go for help. Remember the crisis hotline is toll free and confidential 1 800 273 TALK. [ lvr's advice column | Ask lvr A Question ]
