Oh No!!!

Today i was hanging out with my younger brother (14) and we were playing with a watch that we found and i wanted to try it on, so i pulled up my sleeve a little and i guess one of my cuts were showing cause my brother grabbed my arm and pulled up my sleeve :( i quickly pulled my sleeve down, but he had already seen it. then he asked me what it was and i said it was nothing, but its obviously cuts and he knew. i told him it was just scratches, but they are not and he had seen that they were'nt.. he then kept asking me what it was for... and he said things like im an emo creep and that self mutilation is stupid and asked if mom knew and i told him she does know (which is true, my mother has known for a while now) but he doesnt believe me that mom knows, so when she gets home from work he is gonna ask her...
my biggest worry.. is that he will tell my gramma and if my gramma finds out i will be dis-owned by her and she would never accept me again.. my little brother is an idiot and he will probably tell my gramma, so now i have to get mom to talk to him and tell him NOT to tell gramma.. but he still probably will... ughhhhh.... mom is also afraid of how gramma would react if she found out so now mom is gonna be upset that my brother knows, but it was an accident :( im so scared..

I've been in this situation, except it was my older sister who didn't believe me. If my dad found out he would never talk to me again and im "daddy's little girl". Just explain it to them without getting mad or upset and like call your mom and tell her and tell her exactly what you posted here and I'm sure she will understand.
I hope this helps...
PM me if you need anything!

I understand that your worried about your grandma finding out about your self-harming issues however, I think you could maybe try to look at this a bit differently. I know right now it might seem like the worst thing ever if she finds out, but maybe it won't be. You say your mum already knows, so you know you've got somebody who understands it all. Maybe it's good to get it out, it could be the start of recovering. I'm sure your brother would understand if you and your mum spoke to him about how sensetive the issue is and what your going through. If he doesn't then you can't keep thinking it's the worst thing ever etc. because that's going to make you feel worse. If your grandma doesn't take it very well then this could maybe be your incentive to stop the self-harming, prove to your grandma you can stop.
Also, your grandma knowing might not be the best thing, but it would mean your mum has someone to talk to about it because i'm guessing it's not the best thing for a parent to learn that your childs self-harming so she may well need someone other than yourself who actually does the self-harm, to talk about it to and help her to help you if that makes sense.
I know you know your family better than anyone else, i'm not trying to intrude and be like I know best. All i'm saying is try and see it from a more positive outlook.
I hope your ok, and hope i've helped.
