She saw them.

So yesterday my mom noticed the scars up my arm. Luckily she believed my "fell into a bush" story. Turns out being clumsy comes in handy every now and again. But I swore to her that I wasn't cutting myself. So now I'm paranoid that she's gonna notice the scars on some other part of my body especially my leg, since those scars are undeniably cutting. :/ Anyway, just needed to get that off my chest. :/

What way do you want her to find out?
I know that you don't want her to but it is inevitable.
So either you tell her now, get her to deal with it. She will help you.
Tell the school. They will help you, and yes, you do need help. She will be told by them.
Wait.
Wait until you cut too deep, hit a vain and she walks in at your worst time.
Trust me ... I know what I would choose!

Well depends how you want to go on with it. If you want to get help this is a big open window as she has seen the scars so that wont be a huge shock to as how they are there. Yeah it will be hard but if you REALLY want to stop then you will do it to try and get away from the addiction.

I'm using this as an incentive to stop. Hopefully it works. If I have enough self discipline. :/

if you don't want to talk face to face shoot her an email. tell her you want to stop. she can get you help. do you want to stop? if yes then this is your way out, the light at the end of your tunnel. this done'st need to last forever. this can end, but you will need to get help first. tlaking about it is a good thing. speak from your heart. tell her why, obviously if she is the reason... don't tell her name other thignsl like stress. tell her what it does inform her and educate her why it makes us feel better and etc. so she can understand and not be harsh about it. she will notice somtime.... my mom questioned it... but my scars got too noticeable so i sat her down and told her. she took it...welll she cried... but she got me help and has been semi supportive with shooting sarcastic rude comments aobut it, but thats my mom iwth everything... moms are there to hlep she loves you.

Yes, I want to stop. I need to, really. I'm just terrified of what her reaction will be. Thanks, that's a really helpful post.

Try to let her know you want help or to see a psychiatrist
a good mom would listen..
and also use e oil to try to get rid of the scars
