A sweatshirt isn't uncommon in gym class, or a spandex kind of top. Like under armour style. light jacket etc.

You know how they say the best way to prevent pregnancy is abstinence? Same way to hide your cuts is to not cut. :) Be nice to yourself

You could explain it to your teacher. They will be hopefully professional about it and let you with an exception.

Hope all goes well :)

I always cover them up with bracelets, always.
I refuse to take them off.

this is what i do
if you have a gym uniform then wear a long sleeve top under the shirt
if you don't wear a gym uniform then were an under armor shirt and just say your cold
or you could always put concealer on to hide the scars it doesn't work that much for cuts but on scars it works great

Where are you that you can't wear long sleeves?... I'd just go with "i'm cold"

Meh, if i'm uncomfertable in gym, i'll just leave my long sleeve shirt on under my gym shirt.
If the scarring isn't bad, people probalby won't notice

I say wear short sleeves.

They are scars, not open cuts, blah blah blah. If anyone asks, make up some crazy idea of what happened, I used to tell people at work, I was attacked by a porcupine. It gets them to leave you alone.

Again, they are just scars you are going to have to learn to live with them, scars do not (typically) go away.
I highly doubt you are going to live the rest of your life in long sleeves.

For the past two days I've been walking around with two bright orange band aids and two bright yellow band aids on my arm. It's really making me not want to cut again.
