Silverette it ain't easy to try and give up! But I believe that you CAN do it. First try to get rid of the sharp object as it's no good for you and your worth so much more. Take a safe red marker pen or crappy red eye liner and draw as many lines you want with out the pain, you still get that tingerly feeling going up down your arm. All though the where a elastic band thing is suppose to help you. It is still a self harm thing. But it can limmit the cuts. By wearing it around you wrist then bad thoughts pull and snap it. But I don't believe it will do any good still? Hold ice cever and also cold in your hands. It's your choice if you would tell your parents but the thing is if you know them well, them your know how they would react to the sitituation maybe. Yesitsme didn't me to upset you please let it go. Please try to understand that self harming isn't worth it! {{{{{{{Silverette}}}}}}
