One of the people I know is forcing me to tell my parents about me cutting. If I don't they will. I'm so scared. My youth group leader is going to be with me for support, but I'm still so scared. I have no idea how to tell them or how to make them understand. I'm not sure if I ccan handle it. I know it would be better for them to hear it from me but I'm not sure I can. I hate this. I'm supposed to tell them Monday and it's only Friday and I'm already freaking out. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

it took all my courage to tell my mom and ask for help. please tell her yourself, it is ALOT better that way. make sure when you tell her that everyone is calm and let her know you don't want her to overreact. be careful. let me know how it goes, u can pm me if u want!

hey ic this is probably really hard for you right now. if you dont mind,who is forcing you to tell your parents?in my opionion it is not their place to say whether or not your tell your parents or not and its not theirs to tell them for you. i dont know they best way for you to tell your parents but it might be easier for you to write a letter explaining what you do and why.you dont have to go in detail about anything. feel free to PM me anytime if you need some help with getting through this.i know this must be really hard for you. and please tell us how everything goes.

I know that this issue is very difficult for you. I have no advice on how to go about telling them. I do feel however that the person forcing yo to tell your parents is wrong. I don't believe you should be forced into doing anything. You should discuss your own way in your own time. Whatever your decision, you have all of us to turn to for support. I just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you and wanted to throw some love your way. (((((ICKY)))))

fury is right. when i am scared to tell my T something' I write it in a note and leave it with the guidance counselor to give to her. it is WAY easier to write it down or show them.

Fury, that's excellent advise. Icky, I highly recommend telling your folks yourself. My mother found one of my "tools" that I had carelessly left out in my room. What she was doing in there I don't know, but it hapened. Needless to say she blew a gasket. It will be easier if you tell them yourself. Although even then it won't be easy. Letus know how it goes. We're here for you if you need us. Take care and good luck.

Well it went pretty okay. They didn't react to bad. I couldn't get myself to look at their face the entire time. They are going to find a doctor that we both feel comfortable with. The biggest problem is that it is finally Spring Break and I was looking forward to laying back and watching TV. I wish. Now they are making me exercise and keep busy. My mom has flown to Alaska to visit a ffriend, and my dad won't let me stay home alone, so I have to have someone over, go somewhere where my dad feels comfortable, or go to work with him. It is so annoying. At least they arn't punishing me for the sake of punishing me.
Thank YOu for all your help

Ryan, It sounds like you have parents who care about you and want what is best. I'm glad it went well. Bummer about not being allowed to do what you want though. I agree, they aren't punishing you just for the sake of punishing you. They want to make sure you stay safe.
