What did your parents do when they found out you cut?

My mom just got sad and kinda freaked out and demanded to look at my arm, and then we sorta fought with each other. My dad told me he loved me and gave me a hug. They haven't done anything else and only just found out a couple weeks ago.

I've been wanting to know this too. My parents don't know, and I doubt that I will ever tell them.

Well my ex kinda told my parents but there was lots of crying, my mum wanted to see my wrist, lots of questions and they told me that I had to either go to the doctors, psychiatrist or the college counsellor person. That was the end of it - still get the odd questions now and then about whether or I still do it. But they seem to have forgotten about it and it was over a year ago now... What they don't know is that I still do, I;ve just become even better at hiding it...

Well my mom cried cuz she was crying i cried and she asked to see my arms i didnt let her but about a month later i told her why and she dragged me to the psychiatrist i didnt want to go but im glad she took me i just have scars to deal with.

My mom cried and hugged me, and then told me I was an idiot. Then she demanded to get me into therapy. She asked if I was suicidal, and I said maybe. She just wanted to help me...too bad it didn't work.

i haven't told my parents about the cutting thing i did tell my mom few years ago how i felt about my self, she just ignored it. i don't know if she didnt believe me or just thought i was stupid.
didnt feel to well atleast.

i don't see myself ever talking to my parents about this.

My mom told my therapist...she didn't understand at all though. They kind of ignore it now. They have to know i am still doing it.... they see the marks, i have pretty much said i still do it. It kind of hurts that they ignore it...they never check up on me or try to make me stop. It hurts. My therapists the only one who really tries to help me.
