i went to spain with my parents, my sister and her fiance, my mate and his parents... my mate noticed quite early on and asked 'dude whats with the csars on yer arm, from scratchiin yersel or sommik?' to which i just said aye sommik like that... wana go diving? and changed the subject. he is cool with it, he knows im not perfect lol but who is!

when my parents noticed and asked what i had done to my arms i just said oh nowt to worry about they been like that for ages... and went and got a vodka... hehe

my mam and sister work with mentally ill students and my ex (who is good mates with me and my mate in question) has suffered depression for many years so self harm wasnt totally new to him *thank heavens*.

only other time ive been questioned was off a lad at work who pretty much came out with 'eh mark why ya been cutting yourself?!' i was like urrr cos i wanted to. he aint said a word since!

i know my parents are aware of what i do, and that there aware i dont want to talk about it... hence they dont bring it up unless its major and i need their help which is rarely these days!

sorry if this is such a long post, i guess i just needed to get this out and since you asked...

take care
