i remember one time, i had this big bruise on my face because i got pissed off (that was before cutting) and my mothr freaked out. ididn't tell her what it was from, but she didn't believe my excuse she was all,"looking at it makes me hurt." totally couldn't handle cutting

yeah, my mom would start freaking out too! it would suck!

if i told my mom she'd start crying or tell me i'm demon infested or something...

Thats good that you told your mom...
I don't think I could ever tell my parents that I cut...guess I am weak...anyways

It makes me happy that you have the courage to tell someone...especially your mom! KUDOS

Here are some resources that may help,

Right on. I'm glad that you told her. Keep up the fight.

If you haven't already tell your mom or someone that you trust that can help you. "cutting" is a serious issue. Get some help. Don't wait until it's too late.

Thanx! Last night I already told my mom. And I should say that it was better than I expected.

Can i ask all of you here a question?? Why are most people in the USA are into "cutting" and suicide or something??? We are never like that around here. Im from the Philippines and basically we are a poor country, we are not so high-tech or something, we do have high technologies but not as great as the USA, but how come our people here are not into stuff like that???? Guys, you know, there are more important stuff to think about rather than losing your life by doing insane, stupid stuff as cutting. It would do you no good. Life is still worth living.
I have heard most students and young people do "cutting" because of school problems and love problems... hey! Thats like, a very small part of life. There are still more to life than that. There are still hungry and dying people in Africa and some parts of the world who wants and loves to live and enjoy life. Really,..... i think young people should learn to enjoy and not think about bloodshed or suicide. As ive said, Life is still worth living.... You're too young to think of death.
