I self harm but my mum knows I self harm. She tells me the cuts are disgusting. Apparently I shouldn't self harm because I won't be able to show my skin. I sometimes hide my scars by wearing jumpers. Self harming is an addiction and there is a risk of hitting a vein or artery. There's also a risk of going to hospital. My mum told me, if I keep cutting I'll end up in hospital. I used to not do much harm to my skin when I first started but now I just cut myself deeper and bleed but it stops after. I better be careful. So, there's some of the reasons not to self harm.
