Well, i have been sayin this for a while now but i know that it cant get much worse than this atm. I need to find a way to tell someone that will be able to help. I have tried but i clam up, writing a letter seemed the best way but i was cryin so much writin it you couldnt read it. My mum knows and i have tried to talk to this councler but it didnt work (i only went once). I need help and i dont want to go to my mum again coz i have let her down so much already and she thinks that i have stoped, actually everyone thinks so. This is probs why i cant tell anyone. :what:
So basically need to know how to tell someone like at school:(
Sorry if i like rambled, it is what i do best :whoops:

teacher? school counsellor? friend? friends parent? Just go up to them discreetly, and ask for a quiet chat. I f its teacher/someone from school they'll keep it quiet unless they think you're going to do harm to yourself or someone else, if its a friend/friends parent, they may say something to your mum. Write the letter, not to anyone, just to vent. writing down how you feel sometimes really helps, just stating it. Pm me if you wants

I wouldn't recommend telling a school counselor or teacher because they usualy tell parents and as you said your mom thinks you have stopped. I would recommend telling a best friend or someone you can really trust.

maybe the best thing to do is come clean with your mum? she does know about it
so why make it harder and have EVEN more people know? why not just use the people youve already got supporting you and let them help you
yes it will hurt yes it will be hard
but yes it will also help

what cloud said. *although for the record the school will only tell your parent/guardian if they think your at risk of hurting yourself or other people. Although yeah, your mums gonna find out soon or later. may as welll be sooner

Honestly, coming clean with your mom seems the best. If you tell anyone else they will prob end up telling her anyway because they will only want whats best for you.
It may be worth giving the councillor another shot too, you need help to get out of the rut your in, nobody wants you to be harming yourself, just keep thinking of that.
PM me anytime if you want to talk.

Hey. I know what situation you are in, believe me. I feel awkward about telling my parents as they found out once and i dont want to let them down. I also dont want to tell my friends because they'll either go through the ' you shouldnt do that' phrase or they wont care. I dont want to tell my tutor teacher or the head of year because i'll feel awkward and i dont want to see a counsillor either.
what im gonna do is stay online and tell my feelings to people that have been through this. I want you to know that self harm isnt good. Over 24,000 teens are hospitalised for self-harming every year. I cant quit because it makes me feel better about myself, ifeel more confident, and it might make you feel that way. What you should do is keep a diary and write about your feelings and see if you spot a pattern. If not that then keep on sharing your feelings online with me and other people. If you want to, try and teel an adult you can trust, but if you dont want your parents to find out then i wouldnt try a counsillor just yet.
Hope things work out for you. Good Luck!

I agree with the others, it would be best to come clean with your mum - she'll probably find out sometime anyway and it will be better coming from you, and have another go with some professional councelling. You need to make yourself go to more than one session to give it a proper chance.

Yes as the others have said it is probably best if you do come clean with your mother, she will hopefully understand that you are trying to take the step to stop
I would also try to got to the Councillor again at least for a couple of lessons :)

If you tell someone at school, and they tell your mom, she will be even more dissappointed because you didn't tell her. A parent always likes to hear something from their kid, rather that another adult. If you tell her, I'm sure she will understand. Mothers have a maternal instinct to comfort and care for their kids, and I don't forsee her getting mad, and blowing it out of proportion. The best thing to do is stop. Find yourself some driving music. (I listen to Disturbed when I am mad) It helps. Just put it on full blast and rock out, loose yourself in the music and let it all go. That helps me when I am depressed or upset or mad. Find what works for you, just try to stop.
If you want to talk, or have any questions, pm me, I'll be here.

hey, i have selfharmed to and i know what it feels like to feel like you can't tell anyone because you may worry about how they mayreact or what they will think of you, what i did was tell my bestfriend. i told him and at first he was really shocked but i explianed why i did it and said that i was stopping but it will be hard and so on but when you feel comfortable you will open up, hope all goes well, :)
