I woke up late on Tuesday morning and was in a rush and my brother decided to kick off, all the way to school which is a 30 minute walk. I just felt so crap like I wanted to lash out at people but I'd get put on report and my dad would react badly to that. I went into the toilet and ended up cutting. Initially I felt fine just a little weaker like every time but then I got into my lesson and started feeling light headed and like I was going to throw up and felt as if I was going to faint. I ended up getting some strong paracetamol from the nurse and felt better but I don't know if the sudden sickness was linked with cutting. Also it turns out I'm getting bad grades at the moment when I'm trying my hardest :( I know how my dad's gonna react to that.

You sound like your going through a rough time :( I went through patches at school were i did bad, now im more or less top of my class at uni. As for the cutting causing the sudden sickness, its possible, what you described sounded like it could of been caused by blood loss. Do you loose a lot of blood when you cut?

Usually I don't end up losing too much blood I don't have anything sharp enough to cause major blood loss, I had my sleeves down and ignored it with a tissue round my arm so I might have lost a lot idk

If you could stem the flow with tissues I don't think it would be deep enough to cause significant blood loss. This could just be coincident or maybe you were just emotionally overwhelmed.

Has it happened since?

yeah i'd also think that it's blood loss. when i lose a lot of blood, or sometimes even when i see just a bit of blood i get really dizzy. i dont know why. blood just has a strange affect on me

sounds like life isnt too good at the moment,
Dont worry about the grades, if your trying your hardest they will improve.
I think maybe you just felt overwhelmed by everything that might have been what caused the dizzyness, or maybe you lost a little too much blood.
and you should tell your dad your trying your hardest and im sure he wont mind,
if anything he will probably tell you to try harder or maybe help you?
Im here if you need to talk. Good luck Liam :)
