I mentioned a while ago in a post about one of my brothers friends finding out I self harmed and said he thought it was cute and wanted to watch me do it. since then my mum and dad found out I cut myself and took all my sharp things away, searched my room etc .
Well my brothers friend was here this morning and he gave me a packet of razor blades.i don't klnow what to do, I should probably give them to my mum or dad but they will want to know where I got them and hed get into trouble, but I so want to keep them, I haven't cut for a couple of weeks and I badly want to, its been hell not being able to do it. im frightened to have them cause I know wot will happen, i cant bring myself to get rid of them so giving them to someone would be the best but i don't want him to get in trouble.
What do u think i should do?

I think you should give the razors to your parents and explain to them about how you got them. He will get into trouble, but he won't bother you again. I can tell that you want to stop cutting, and clearly this guy giving you razor blades is not helping. Good luck. I'm here if you ever want to talk.

Giving you razor blades so you can harm yourself for his amusement?
How the hell does that help you in any way? And cutting isn't even cute for ME!!!

Well the best thing to do if you really want to quit which is never easy.
Is either chuck them yourself or tell your parents obviously your Brothers Friend has
his own issues and if hes giving you Blades to hurt yourself with something is not right.
Even tho you may get him in Trouble he should be responsible for his own actions so don't feel bad if you tell your parents.Good Luck hope it works out

Get rid of them. If that means give them to your parents, do that. If it means just disposing of them yourself, do it. Whatever it means, get rid of them.
It might not be easy, but it's the right thing to do, for your sake, and for your brothers friend's sake. That's pretty messed up in my opinion. Keep chugging. It's hard and I know how tempting it might be, but you're better without them.
Best of luck to you x

Firstly, self harming is not cute, it's destructive and harmful and what your brother's friend is doing is not only dangerous, but irresponsible, harmful and outright disrespectful. He sounds like a very negative influence for you right now, and encouraging something which compromises your wellbeing is just not okay. I would thoroughly recommend seeking professional advice/help, talking to a trusted adult or directly addressing the situation to him. He needs to understand that it is thoroughly unhelpful to encourage you with something harmful and what he did is very, very wrong.
What you can do with the blades is give them back to this person. Or, you do not have to directly explain to your parents where you got them from. You can say you had access to these blades, but you trust them enough to look after them for you. I think the key with talking to family about self harm is them understanding it's essential for you to be able to talk to them as honestly as you can about it; do not be afraid to remind them of this point.
Resisting the urges to self harm is a very positive exercise. By eliminating your opportunity this will give you room to develop independence from this coping method. I would again suggest looking at alternatives; either substitutes (non-harmful of course, such as using a pen to write, or ice.), or distraction methods (exercise, tidying up I find always helps me).
I wish you all the best, if you need some support or just someone to chat to my inbox is open.
Stay strong.

Your brother's friend sounds like a sadist. Those are dark and poisonous types. Stay clear of him best you can, but if he pulls something like this again, tell someone.
Throw the razor blades away, and whatever you do, do NOT think about them.

I was shocked when I read this, I cant imagine someone could be so cruel and dangerous to another person.
You should tell someone about him especially if he's somebody that you may see often as he is your brothers friend.
You shouldn't worry about him getting into trouble, do you not think he deserves to?
You have to ask yourself why he would do this, he's not helping you stop cutting yourself obviously so he must be a very disturbed person to find something as serious as self harm cute.
Tell someone what he's done.

Tell your parents ASAP. Give them the razor blades and tell them about your brother's friend. He sounds like he needs help if he finds another person cutting themselves 'cute'.
