idk if i can handle this anymore

idk if i can handle not telling my parents but if i do what would they say. idk if i should tell them or not if you can help that would be awsome

It would be nice if a total stranger could tell you what to do, but we can't. You know your parents more than anyone else ever will. Most people will encourage open communication, but that is not always the best course of action. I personally never told my parents, after having dealt with them long enough to know well what the basis of their reaction would be.

Only you can judge for yourself. That said, it is important in the long run to share this information with someone who is close to you. If your parents do not seem right, confide in a friend, or a professional. Having a support system makes a world of difference during critical moments.

Yes, tell CLOSE friends!
And maybe, tell someone that will tell a teacher, so it will get to a councilor.
Then it will get to your parents, and you won't have to tell them directly!
But, I don't know your parents, or you, and I don't know how they would react...
But I'm sure they love you and would do anything to help you!

It would be so helpful for yourself if you told your parents, it might not seem like it as soon as you've done it, however it will get better.

How about asking someone to tell them? Or write them a letter?

It's great you want to tell your parents, hope you sort things out.

i havnt told my parents yet. tell some close friedns that you trust first. but it's youre decition and you know when you want to tell your parents.

I'd recommend going to speak to a councillor, I've recently started seeing a councillor, and I think it really helps. The thing about a councillor is that you don't know them, and they don't know you, so it's nice to talk to somebody you don't know, and you don't have to answer anything you don't want to.

If you decide you don't want your parents to find out, I wouldn't recommend telling a teacher, I made that mistake, and they rang my mum :|
good luck :)

thanks for the help i told my twin sister and she yelled at me and made it worse im really trying

Negative reactions are normally bred out of a lack of understanding.
If you take the time to explain to your sister why you did it (putting emphasis on not doing it for attention), how common it is for people to turn to it and that you are doing everything you can to stop then her attitude will change.

ok thanks but i tried that and she was like yeah right you are doing it just for the attention and i am not and i am seriously trying to stop and my bff said she isnt going to be my friend anymore if i dont stop
