Believe me when i say this, but you are none of those things you've named in your post. I know exactly how you feel, and the first thing you need to do, is to be honest with your friend. Let him know just how much pressure he's putting on you, because until he knows he won't stop. He needs to be there for you, and accept the fact you need help to stop. Telling your parents will not magically solve the problem, especially as you will not know how they'll react. Recently i've been going through the same. I've been free of self harm for 5 months, until last night i broke that. But the way to reclaim the life self harm is taking away is to be honest with those that need to help you. If you need to talk at all feel free to contact me anyway you'd need to, I'm always happy to help anyway i can.

You're in quite the predicament here. Also a double edged sword because if your friend finds out he will tell your parents and then you will see your parents reaction and then you will be forced to get help. On the other hand if you continue to hide and still cut sooner or later someone will find out.

I would suggest that you find someway of quitting whether that is hanging around your friend more often or finding some activity to do. Anything to keep your mind off not only the drama, but that urge to cut. You can do better just get in the mind frame that you want to quit and you will. Anything is possible you just have to put turn those plans into actions.

If you ever need someone to talk to I'm always here don't hesitate to send me a VM anytime I'm always here. Keep your head up you can do this. Good luck

I know how you feel, in not wanting your parents to find out, so maybe talk to your friend and just be honest with him. Tell him you need to him to support you and not put pressure on your, as this is just another thing that will add to your problems.
You need to stop in your own time, I found trying to do it within a week or so isnt long enough, cutting is an addiction, it takes time to stop.
But having the right support from your friend will help you alot, so talk to him and tell him how you feel, he'll respect you more for telling him now, rather than him finding out a few weeks down the line that you were lying to him
Feel free to PM me if you need to talk
