Um... Self harming, is it serious enough to tell someone else?
Hey, so I'm a 13 year old girl... I recently went to the doctor about depressionn... I'm going to get two types of counciling, but she hasn't scheduled an appointment for me yet... I tried this thing where you wrap a hairband around your wrist and flick it, it was fine ... More of a distraction and I could control when I wanted to stop or start, I didn't like the fact that it left red marks on my arms though... 2 of my friends cut (that I know of) and I thought that it would be an okay idea to experiment, so I cut my leg multiple times, not deep or long... Just a scrape to draw a little blood... I know I have problems, and I'm not going to do this again (despite the fact that I want to). 2 of my friends know about this, but I promised my mum that I would never. Self harm and I feel ashamed and I don't want to burden her with any more problems, the depression was enough... I just don't know whether I should tell someone and I'm scared and lost and I feel alone... I was stupid I know, but I don't know what to do... Pls someone tell me what to do, and don't bother asking why I did this- that is confidentual... Thanks, lea wills xxx

I think you should tell someone you trust. Self harm is serious and I have done it a few times myself. Even if you stop, a bad day will happen and you will want to do it again. Eventually, you may get addicted. You mentioned a councillor. Tell them and they should give you more advice. I'm no professional. Hope this helps.
P.S. just because your friends do something, it doesn't make it right. Chin up sweetie :)
