i cut myself for the first time a few weeks ago, and i got more upset and depressed AFTER i did it. My friends noticed, i told them, they told me to get help, i told my teacher, etc. I promised and swore to my teacher, councilor, friends, and family i wouldn't do it again. Thing is, i know that its bad and i shouldn't do it, but when i get angry, i just get this feeling like i want to do it again. i REALLY NEVER want to do it again, I'm just afraid that I'll lose it and cut again. what should i do?

What you need to do is find something else to do when you're angry. Different people like to do different things: exercise, listen to music, talk to someone, play a game where you kill stuff, etc. Try a bunch of things until you find what works for you. If you find a positive thing that helps you when you're angry, you'll feel no need to cut yourself because you'll have a better option.
