Answer 1

To answer your question simply without preaching, yes, your counselor can. And I assume you've heard all the arguments against cutting, I just would like to say I hope your life gets to a point where you don't feel you need to cut to feel better.

Answer 2

Yes, she can call your mom about.

And how do I know about that?

Because about a year ago, I wrote something in class, that worried my teacher, so I got sent to the guidance couneslor, and the she said she was going to call my mom because she thought something was wrong with me. A few months later, I wrote something else that was alarming, and she called my mom again.

And you know what?

I have a thing called depression. I probably would've become suicidal or a self-harmer if my mom had not been called. Because I talked to my mom, and I knew someone cared. It helped me feel better, and become less depressed. God only knows what would've happened if my mom had not been called.

You may be angry now, but years from now, you'll look down at your wrists, and think,"Why didn't I get help sooner?"

So by God, your guidance counselor should be fired if she doesn't call your mom about such things. Everyone has so much potential, but you have these challenges that you need to beat to live up to it.

Your in my prayers, and when you graduate high school, make sure you tell your guidance counselor,''Thanks."

Answer 3

Yes and no.

In my country (New Zealand) if you are under 16, then you're a minor and your counselor can tell your parents some stuff.

When I first went to my counselor he went through my rights. He said that our sessions were completely confidential unless he thought I was going to harm myself or others.

My school counselor rang up my Mum and told her that I had depression and that I needed to be referred to a different counselor. She had to get my permission to ring my Mum (which I gave when I was really upset and she kind of forced it out of me).

I use to cut too, so I'm not going to lecture you, but it's really unhealthy. You need to learn some good/healthy ways to deal with your feelings, and cutting isn't one of these. You could try writing or talking to someone. I also find going for a walk helps.

You may be angry about it now, but when you're a bit older you'll realise that your counselor did you a favour and now you can get the help you need.

You can email me if you like.

Answer 4

Yeah, she can and she is legally required to do so. The only exception would be if she were a doctor and wanting to give you an abortion or prescribe you birth control, which she isn't so she's going to hit your mom up and spill your beans..I mean knives.

So basically, that means you don't need mental help, you need someone to help with your self-esteem issues. But you don't need mental help. You need to keep away from cutting yourself cause you're only harming yourself. Then again, you are getting the attention you want from it, are you not?

Actually, it is a good thing your mom is going to find out. It'll be a wake up call to her, it's what you need, and your mom will start paying more attention.

Things are looking up.

Answer 5

NO every thing you say unless you are in danger of hurting yourself or others is stirctly confidental. And while cutting is technicaly hurting yourself, that's not what the rule means. Your gidence counsler can help you approch the subject with your mother and can try to help you understand how to release those feelings without feeling the need to cut.

don't worry so much it gets better( from a former cutter)

Answer 6

No they cant what ever you two talk about during your time together is between you n the counselor. I used to cut myself as well I had alot going on at the time i was raped n scared to leave my house i just kinda freaked out alittle bit but your counselor can get into some trouble for telling they are not suppose to tell.

Answer 7

I believe if a guidance counselor feels like your life is endangered, then they have to tell your parents. Ifsomething were to happen to you, if you were to cut yourself bad enough to kill yourself or do serious damage, and the guidance couselor didnt tell anyone that she knew what you were doing, she could probably be held partially reliable. Because she failed to tell your parents so they could get you help. I believe she had every right to tell your parents that you are cutting because its dangerous and you are hurting yourself, and if you are cutting, then you need help to get you through whatever you are going through.

Answer 8

There may be different rules in different states. I believe that if you are underage, then the counselor can tell. You are physically harming yourself and she/ he may try to help by telling so that you can stop more easil;y. If you're feeling badly then maybe you can find another way to feel better.

Answer 9

with a minor, any theropist of any sort ( including guidence counsler) can tell whoever is responsible for the minor if they feel they are harming themselves. your guidence counsler may feel there is no need to contact your mom, but if she does feel the need she has the right too. Not only minors can they do that to, but they can do that to adults who are harming themselves or others also... you can tell her anything else though and shes not allowed to tell ANYONE. hope you get help :(

Answer 10

c'mon you in basic terms have 2 years left of school. U can pull by using it. in case you extremely won't be able to, you ought to to ask the district in case you could request to regulate counselors and you may clarify to them why you have chose to.
