So today in english class we had to draw our hands and put our topic and five details in it(i know kindergarden :P) but my english teacher walked by looked at my scars and then stared me in the eyes. I finished quick and hid my arm. About 20 mins. ago erik looked at my scars and asked what happened I told him I got scratched and he left it alone. Then about 2 minutes ago my brother looked at them and i hid the scars then he goes sits beside me and said do you have something to tell me, I said no and he says have you been cutting yourself. My heart just explodes and i smile and say no why would I do something like that. To which he responded that depressed people do it so I get defensive ad ask him why he would play about something like that and that I wouldn't do it. He didn't believe I know it but he won't say it. So I need an excuse to get them off my back. I haven't cut in like a week I think and i don't plan on doing it ever again so how can i get people to leave me alone about it?

in all seriousness...it sounds as though your brother is really concerned for you, and loves you. For this reason think you should come straight out to him, and tell him about the cutting...but also tell him that you dont plan on doing it again.

(edit): is your brother younger or older?

[Beautiful Obsession]

i knw how that feels when you know someone is looking at them, you just want the ground to eat you up, and i know after what you brother said about depressed people cutting themselves isnt going to help the matter, but you really should tell someone, what about you english teacher? hes obv got suspisions so talk to him?

good luck xxxx

My brother is a year older than me, but we never had the best of relationships. I have never talked to him about any of my problems infact when we were younger he made them worse especially my depression.

[Beautiful Obsession]

ok well ur brother obv isnt the best person to talk to. what about the teacher that saw ur marks?

If he mentions it then i'll say something to hm.

I think it is good if you can find someone that you can at least open up to about this...sometimes it helps to talk about things...even things that you may not want to talk about . I know I have come very close to cutting recently...and just having someone to talk to has helped me...I didn't really want to talk about it but I needed to talk things through to get to the bottom of why and what exactly I was feeling...just an idea.

Aww, I'm sorry, hun. Bad family relationships are really rough.
You really should talk to someone, (I know, I'm just repeating what someone else has previously stated. Whatever.) The teacher who saw your arms is most likely a good candidate. Although, let's hope you'll be a bit more proactive, kay? We don't want you going on a unnecessary "suicide watch". (Some schools put you on it atuomatically if they find out you're a cutter. That's why I can't wear short sleeves in the classrooms, lest one of my teachers should find any suspicious scars.)

And by "proactive", I mean "explain you situation before accusations are made".

[Beautiful Obsession]

ok,, well does anybody else know about your cutting?

No one knows at all it was just a stupid slip up that day.

I had past experiences about that. Cutting aint good dearie.. :(
Think about all those people who care for you...and what they would feel if something bad happened to you.
Look, cutting is like a drug. Once you sstarted its kinda hard to stop.
2 years ago I told myself that i wasnt gonna do it anymore. and so on..
but saying something isnt the same as "DOING"...

but you know, the best psychiatrist is yourself. You really have to make up your mind if you're gonna stop doing it..or not.
Instead of hurting yourself because of problems, why dont you talk to someone who you're really close with.

But remember, you aren't alone. Hey this world aint as dreadful as you think it is...
Don't let problems control you.. It's you who is supposed to control the problems.. ;)

I know what your going through, i dont really try to hide mine as most people wouldn't think of me as the type to do something like this. If you go outside alot, like on walks or messing around with friends, then you could always just blame it on a tree or an animal or something, that usually works when people see mine.
But if your teacher says anything else then he would probabaly be a good person to talk to about it if you know that you can trust him.

[STAYING_STRONG4HIM]

Here is my suggestion, because I have had a teacher notice too. If you feel as if you can trust him/her, then they may be a good person to talk to about this. If your afraid that they'll tell your parents or something you just tell them that this is something you want to just keep between you and them. Most often teachers are willing to help you out no matter what it is. I encourage you to open up to someone though...or to seek some help...I know that neither one of these things are easy but it's worth it trust me.

Thomas. I'M ALIVE!!!! Lol, I'm such a dork. :) So, a lot of people commented on this, and I was wondering if this is actually still an issue. Cutting, I mean.
