So a while back, I cut my wrist. I can't remember why; it was around just before Christmas I think. But we were playing bench-ball. My teacher was studying me for my grades, which of course, I had to try my best.
I was on the bench, so I had to catch the ball. Which means lifting up my arms. I think she saw my wrists, she kept looking, and acting kindly to me after.

Recently, I did it on my hand. I was wearing a bandage and going my the story 'I sprained my hand whilst riding.' Which most people believe as my pony is very strong. But she got to me, and unlike everyone else, she stared at the bandage. She looked almost scared? She asked me what happened, I told her my cover story, she nodded and showed me to my team.

Also, I forgot to mention, she's also voluntarily helps my friend with her anorexia. She does mentoring.

Today, we were doing rounders. I was wearing 3/4 length trousers. In the heat, my scars turn pinky/reddy. She kept looking at my ankle. I was standing up, and she kept looking. I tried to hide it by crossing my legs, but she saw it. She asked me to talk to her at the end of the lesson, but I didn't. I've avoided her the rest of the day. I know she wants to talk to me about it, and I want to talk to her, 'cause talking to people helps.

But I can't let my Mother know, I don't want all the teachers to know, I don't want all my friends to know. I find it almost embarrassing talking about it sometimes, sometimes i'ld just burst into tears. I don't know what to do. I really need to talk to someone about it, 'cause I've done it last night, it's just not stopping. But I don't want to risk anything. Oh, what should I do? :(.

Talk to her about it Katie. Ask her not to tell anyone else at all, until you're ready for others to know. As far as I know teachers are not required to report it to your parents.

This happened to me as well, with my P.E. teacher too. She saw the cuts on my leg and she told me to go to her after the lesson and I avoided her, but then she told my head of year which was when they had to tell my parents.

Don't be scared about your friends knowing, they won't need to know if you don't tell them and im sure your teacher won't tell them either. I think you should go speak to her, don't tell her everything but tell her that you don't know how to tell your parents- if you want to tell them. You don't have to tell her what's wrong or anything, but that you don't want anyone to know.
And if you're not addicted yet, please just stop now.

Heh, I've been cutting for a while now actually. I'm already addicted.

My Mother wouldn't understand. She'ld only ever give me a lecture on how crap I am at life. She'd make me talk to her. She wouldn't let me go anywhere. Let me do anything.

I might see if she says anything again. If she does, then, I guess i'll speak to her. Maybe.

She probably will ask to speak to you again Katie. Good luck

If you do want to tell your mum, get the school councellor to help you do that, or the school nurse. They're actually very helpful. Well if you have one anyways.
As for your teacher, she probably won't say anything about it as she may have noticed you avoiding her that other day.
I went through the same thing, and i've been in your position before. Trust me, you're at the hard bit, the rest is not as bad. Good luck!

Talking about it will take a huge load of your shoulders and it can offer you a solution. It's always nice when you have someone to trust.. i'm sure she will want to help..
