Do you think they will understand?

I recently became closer with a few of my friends on our school trip to florida. The friends I was rooming with started to "open up". One of them talked about her struggle with anorexia. Another talked about her sister's cutting. Do you think if I opened up to them and told them I cut, they would understand? If they can open up to me like that, I feel like I should open up to them. I kind of feel guilty for not doing it that night. I was just kind of scared. I'm the youngest one in the group. If I could open up to anyone, it would be the 5 people I roomed with. I trust them, which is good. Because I have really bad trust issues. Do you think they would understand? Would they criticize me?

they sound like they'd accept u, especially since they themselves have had struggles, so they know how hard it can be. I think if you trust them you should tell them. It's not good to keep such a huge secret to yourself. Also you don't have to tell all of them-maybe one or two who you trust the most to see how they take it...
