I started cutting myself in the summer.
The first time I cut myself was in the palm of my hand- and I only cut it once. It took my mind off of the crap that was going on around me.
So everytime I was angry or upset or depressed, I would go to my room and cut the palm of my hand.
I began cutting my palm until it was raw, and started cutting my wrists.
My mom saw my cuts three weeks ago and totally freaked.
I promised her I would never do it again.
I stayed clear from cutting myself for about a week and I nearly went insane.
So finally one random night I went crazy...
I had this feeling like I HAD to do it.
I was worried that my parents would see my cuts if I cut my hand or wrist, so I cut my stomach...(sounds sooo cheesy, I know...)
I have more then 100 cuts on my stomach, along with the word "Help" and "Hate".
Please don't tell me to stop, because I can't. Like I said- I already tried.
I don't know what's going to happen if they see it.
Can you please help me?!

I can't stop you because you need to see people who understand why you do this to yourself. Your parents may freak but only because they love you and are afraid for you. I bet when you tell them how out of control you feel and show them that you want some help they will take you to the professionals that can help you understand that help is there for you. Please ask for help and please ask your parents to help tonight! Your parents will be there for you if you trust them. They may act surprised, shocked, angry, and even confused, they will get over that, but it is time you stopped worrying on your own and started letting your parents do what they have always done... love and care for you. Good luck, it won't easy but you know that it isn't anywhere easy now. You are going to be on my mind.

Tell your mom. As a mom, I would want to help my daughter if she ever did this!
Healthy ways to relieve stress:
Go on a walk.
Read a book (try "The Problem of Pain," by CS Lewis.)
Cry.
Write in a journal.
Laugh.
DO NOT do drugs or smoke, that is just more self-destructive!

No, Even though you told me not to. You need to stop. Find something you love to do, OTHER THAN CUTTING YOURSELF! Find something that makes you happy and kills time, find friends that support your happiness and take you mind off of the crap in the world.

Writing in a journal or even drawing in a journal would be more constructive than physically harming yourself. I know that you can't quit doing it on your own, so find someone that your trust and tell them you need help.

Tell your mom. Get her to take you to a child psychiatrist. NOW. This is an emergency.

You really, really need to talk to a counselor about this. A counselor will be able to help you stop.

It sounds really bad to say this, but I would consider smoking marijuana or cigarettes. It's most likely safer than cutting yourself. If you're afraid of lung cancer, then don't inhale the cigarette. I would reccomend marijuana or cigarettes because marijuana is safer, and the relief is longer lasting, and also less addictive.
