Cutting is an interesting action and one that causes great concern to a parent. I know kids that just outgrew the need. If you have developedd the skills to cope without cutting yourself, it may be time to develope the skills to discuss this with your parents. You are the most important person to them and they are hovering because they do not want you to hurt yourself - just at the time in your life when you would like more freedom. So work on getting that trust and independence balance back. Start with a chat. But remember, you are not a renter in the house so you will not be ignored - you are a family member and need family interaction too.

ok there are way too many people beating up on you for complaining about the attention your parents give you. if you are getting way more attention it can be suffocating at times. just explain to them you don't cut yourself anymore it was something you were going through and you are better now. reassure them that if you feel the urge to do it again you will come to them and get the help you need. which i hope you would do. it's a very dangerous activity that generally does need the attention of a professional. i'm sure you don't mind some attention from your parents, but i remember when there were times my parents could get overwhelming at times. they love you and are just concerned. but the more you talk to them and show some maturity the less they will suffocate. good luck and i hope you truly are better.

Your complaining about your parents giving you attention? There are so many kids in this world that get no attention at all and that is why there is so much trouble in the world today. Be thankful you have caring parents. Do you really and truly wish they would ignore you??

ok first of all tell them you dont do it anymore tell them u were under stress and that you dont have to do it anymore... i used to cutt but i dont anymore ... im the one who tries to keep them out of the cutting ... some do it for attention and thats what really pisses me off and i wish that they would stop .. if your parents are giving you all this special attention then you have to understand that they are doing it because they love you and dont want you to hurt yourself... look at it this way ok my friend last year hung him,self in his backyard .. he had a huge backyard and it took them 2 days to find him ... his suicide note said noone liked him and no one would miss him ... you have no clue how badley he was mistaken ... there was at least 200 people who cared for him and showed up to his funeral .. he was only 17 and he took his life because of stress and he thought no one cared ... think of how many people care about you ...
i hope you can get through this .. if you ever want to talk i'll give u my e-mail address/msn

Be glad someone cares about you and wants to help you in your life. A lot of people don't have that. Thank God for having good parents.

This is a skin condition? More like a mental disorder hun. Grow up, life actually isn't that bad.

Maybe they will eventually leave you alone with time.
