Should I tell?

[xXoblivionXx]

I still haven't decided if I should tell my parents or not. It's been a week since last time I have cut. I think I can do this but if my parents find out I feel like i will end up cutting more. I just done know. I'm going to meet with my counselor sometime this week, he thinks that my parents should know about my SH but I don't think that will work out properly. My parents expect so much from me, they see me as a super child. They will be crushed when they find out that I am not only dumb but also what they call "those emo cutters". When they open their eyes to reality and see me for what I am they will be petrified. I just can't let that happen...

I don't think you will destroy your parents image of you. But if it's something you aren't comfortable with, try talking to your counselor about that. He might be able to help you realize the what good can come out of telling them, or how it could benefit you in the long run. If they know, they could be able to further help you.
