Answer 1

Your friend is only doing this because she wants what is best for you and she is worried about you. Trying to stop cutting is the first step but there is a deeper step that you have to go through and that is to find out why you are doing this. I know a lot of kids do it to release the pain but the question has to be what pain. If you are afraid then it is going to make stopping this a whole lot harder. If you can get help with it maybe it would be worth you telling them first-so you could tell them what you are afraid of as well. They might be hurt by what you are doing but will be more likely to listen to you and trust you if you were the one that told them first. Good luck on stopping and do get some sort of help to ease the pain another way cutting is not something to play around with, you could cut too deep or get a staph infection from the wound.

Answer 2

Yes you did the right thing. You can't judge whether or not her mom is a good enough mom to help her with the problem. My daughter had a very, very close friend and roommate. After she cut herself and bloodied up the bathroom, they kicked her out of the house. They are still friends now, even after those hard times.

Answer 3

Tough Love time: Your friend is threatening to tell your parents because she CARES ABOUT YOU! DON'T YOU GET IT? And if you're willing to cut yourself to make yourself bleed, why would you think your parents could do anything worse to you? You're already destroying your body.

If I found out my daughter was cutting herself, kicking her out wouldn't be an option.....That's not the kind of help she would need. Lots of love and therapy.

Regarding your sister, you shouldn't compare yourself to her. You said yourself that you don't know what circumstances surrounded her getting thrown out of the house. Parents aren't perfect, but neither are our offspring. Tell your parents what's been going on with you and together, try to find a way out of this detrimental situation.

Answer 4

The best way to keep from being blackmailed is to not have secrets. Maybe your friend is trying to protect you, maybe she wants to get you in trouble, but if you tell your parents , then there is no longer a problem. Whatever your sister's problem was, it is no reason to expect the worst from your parents. It sounds like you have not completely stopped, but you know you must.

Answer 5

tell your parents you have a cutting problem. you may be trying to stop, but the next time your stressed out, you'll do it again. you need professional help, you can't do this on your own.
