Answer 2

Go to www.kidshealth.org/teen/
The following information is from that site and gives you some alternatives to cutting. Talk to a school counselor to try to get some help with dealing with your home life. You need to find better ways to cope with your situation.

"If you've been cutting and you want to stop, here are some approaches that might help you.

For people who cut, doing something different may be a big change. Making this change can take time because you are learning new ways of dealing with the things that led you to cut. The tips you'll see below can get you started. But a therapist or counselor can do more to help you heal old hurt and use your strengths to cope with life's struggles.

Start by being aware of which situations are likely to trigger your urge to cut. Make a commitment that this time you will not follow the urge, but will do something else instead.

Then make a plan for what you will do instead of cutting when you feel this urge.

Things That Are Substitutes for the Cutting Sensation
You'll notice that all the tips in the lists above have nothing to do with the cutting sensation. When you have the idea to self-injure, start by trying the ideas on those lists — such as making art, walking your dog, or going for run.

If they don't help, move on to the substitute behaviors shown below.

These substitute behaviors won't work for everyone. They also don't help people get in touch with why they are cutting. What they do is provide immediate relief in a way that doesn't involve cutting, and therefore holds less risk of harm.

-rub an ice cube on your skin instead of cutting it
-wear a rubber band around your wrist and snap it gently against your skin
-draw on the skin with a soft-tipped red pen in the place you might usually cut

Cutting can be a difficult pattern to break. But it is possible. If you want help overcoming a self-injury habit and you're having trouble finding anything that works for you, talk with a therapist. Getting professional help to overcome the problem doesn't mean that someone is weak or crazy. Therapists and counselors are trained to help people discover inner strengths that help them heal. These inner strengths can then be used to cope with life's problems in a healthy way.

Answer 3

I am not sure what you are talking about but the part that I understood was about cutting yourself I cut my self for years not suicidal or anything just because from the cutting the pain I was feeling was good rather than dealing with what was going on I also had a friend that did that and has been dead for 9 years now. If you are that terrifried of your family maybe you should talk to a school counselor or a friends parent that you trust. But your parents always care about you don't think that they don't care. If there is no one you can trust dial 211 or 911 you need help

Answer 4

Try to relax. Take a moment to breathe and imagine one of your friends doing the same thing to themselves. Imagine the picture. It's not good, right?

I'm sorry that you are having a rough time right now. I think the best thing you can do is... and I know you may not want to, but tell you parents that you are scared and how you feel. Even if you cry while talking to them. It's ok. Or, call an aunt or uncle and ask them to talk to your parents because you are scared.

If no one will listen to you, then tell you teacher. It is very dangerous to have thoughts of doing something to yourself. You may not mean to, but one day you could really hurt yourself and no one would know. You could also poison your blood with the pencil, so stop that.

Running away is not the answer. There are some people out there that may harm you while you are out alone. But there are more people that care about what happens to you...for example: We all took the time to respond to you cry for help because we care…some more expressive than others, but you got our attention. Now imagine the same attention from people who know you ;-)

Your dad gets angry and breaks things. At a time when he is not angry, tell him how that makes you feel. Don't complain about the money, but tell him how it scares you and that you love him and don't want to be afraid of him.

Talk to your parents or someone you trust as soon as possible. You will not be alone if you let someone know. But they can't help you if they don't know. Right?

Answer 5

Usually, people start cutting because they feel a lack of control over the situation and need something they can do to change what they are thinking of, however once it starts it can become a habit and then eventually you cannot stop yourself. It actually is helping you to cope with some tough situations. It does not sound like you have the best relationship with your parents. I do not know them, but I'm sure they love you and are frustrated too. If there is an adult you trust a teacher, counselor, friend's parent, I would talk with them about the situation. If you really can't think of anyone, you can call your doctor and ask to talk to him/her confidentially by phone they may be able to help.
Cutting can be very dangerous even if you do not bleed it can lead to serious infections. Please consider this because you really need to talk about these feelings.

Answer 6

Please get some help. You know what you are doing wrong, the first step is admitting that your doing something wrong. The second is getting help. If you don't feel comfortable about going to your parents don't. But go to somebody wither it is an aunt, uncle, grandparents, older sibling, friends parents, teachers. Anybody you trust.

Instead of running away try to find somewhere that you can go for awhile to cool down. Telling your parents might be best because otherwise that would be setting yourself up for another fight. But just go to somebodies house that you trust. Good luck with this!! And remember there are people who love you and WILL help you!

Answer 7

You really do need help as does your total family. It is not socially acceptable to break things when you get mad not is it accepted to cut yourself etc. These are signs of a very troubled family and all of you need to go for counseling. You need to talk to someone that can direct you to a doctor that can help you. Try talking to the councilor at school to connect you to a doctor. You will be surprised at the help you get by just opening up and telling an adult about your family problem, that is not connected to your family. This is in a round about way child abuse.

Answer 8

Well no you wont become emo unless you let yourself, you could always try taking your anger out on something else besides yourself. Like try a pillow!! i dint know about you but i feel when situations get hot all you can really do is sit there and take it, not yelling or saying anything back. After the fight has ended you could try going for a walk or even talking to a close friend.

Answer 9

Okay. Does your dad hit you? In that case, you need to get help. Otherwise you need to calm down. Emos suck, don't go that route. I sympathize with your situation, its awful having a violent parent. However, it seems as though you are way to young to consider something as drastic as running away, it could be alot worse. Look around you and be thankful for the things that you have. Is it just your father that is getting you down? You will eventually get away from him. Your just starting your life, don't ruin it by wallowing in self pity.

Edit: Also, don't assume sense you have been cutting yourself a little that you have some awful terrible disorder, that's not necessarily true. If you think you are in danger of hurting yourself, seek help, otherwise just talk to someone close.

Answer 10

Honey, talk to someone. Not on here, we can't help you as much, but face-to-face. If not your parents, then a counselor, or a friend's parents. I was a cutter myself, actually had to go to the ER on superbowl 05 for damaging tendons in my ankle. If you honest-to-God do not think your parents will care, then find someone else. I hated my parents, and my mom was the one who sat with me and cried. You could be surprised. Be truthful though, are you afraid of your dad? You need to ask yourself these questions. Cutting is not your fault, it is a side effect of a bigger problem, probably depression and you need help. Don't be embarrassed, do NOT be ashamed, but please. Get help. The fact that you are scared shows me you want to fix this.

Answer 11

Well, I'm sure sorry to hear that things are going rough for you. Do you have anyone at school you can talk to, like a teacher or counseler? You really should talk to someone about this, as no one should ever have a dad that breaks things in the house or does the other things you mention.
