Help...?

[The Awkward Artist]

So I've been cutting again, and this time, I almost want people to know. My dad is a big reason, and I've been really kind of obvious about it, but I haven't told him or any other adult directly. I've left my razor out, and I don't get how he hasn't seen my cuts or my scars. Either he seriously hasn't seen them or he just doesn't care. What do you think I should do?

Multiple answers for this; He might not be able to deal with knowing something like this and could be avoiding it, he may just be a bad problem solver and can't put it together and he doesn't want to say it just in case he's totally wrong. If you really want him to know, I'd suggest you talk to him, not him to you. ust sit down with him and just confess. Hope all goes well.

As said, he might be in denial.
Then what should you do ?

Well it depends, do you want someone to know because you need help ? Then you can just go to a friend, teacher or what ever school counselor you might have.
If you want HIM to know it, just talk to him, this way you'll see how he reacts directly and you'll be able to explain why you are doing this, and how you feel right now.

Are you possibly trying to guilt him into stopping what he did that caused them? If so... that's not right. If you have a problem with him talk to him. Cutting for attention or guilt is wrong.

Hmmm. Depends if you want him to know or not.... If i was you i would have a brief conversation with him so he knows whats going on and can support you. Although if you dont feel comfterable telling him you could ask someone else to talk to him.

Goodluck! Message me sometime!

I don't think that's what she meant.

I think she started cutting mainly because of him, because of how bad he makes her feel.
And sometimes when things are going wrong she starts thinking "Would he change if he knew what he is doing to me?"

I've been thorugh this, you're feeling bad, people keep being mean to you and for a second you just want to roll-up your sleeves to show them how bad you feel.

Exactly! I'm not cutting for attention or to guilt him into changing, because I know that he won't change, and I'll lose my minimal privileges. I cut because of how I feel when I'm around him and to deal with everything else. And that's really what I mean when I said I want people to know- I want them to know what they do to me, what they've driven me to so I can deal with what they say to me and how they treat me.
