Im not talking about from someone beating me or anything. The scars and cuts are from where I cut myself( Self injury)

Maybe you shouldn't hide it. If she sees it, just tell her how you feel.

OK let's take this from the top stop cutting yourself that solves nothing it is a cruel trick to make you think you feel better about something that has not changed. If you are still cutting yourself this is something you may need to tell your Mom you need help like yesterday.
Yes I know cutting yourself hurts nobody but you and you like it. Your body is tricked into believing this is a pleasure thing it is short lived pleasure button and it is self destructive you have got to learn how to deal with stress in a more positive way. Come out of the closet and tell your Mom what is going on believe it or not she loves you more then anybody ever will in this life time besides God.
Will she be upset of course but she will help you fix this. You deserve better you are one of a kind and very unique there will never be anybody just like you. Stand up take your life back don't let shame steal your life. We all have made mistakes but we have to learn from them and grow from them you will to and be a stronger person. Good luck and God Bless

Try going to CVS and getting some really good cover-up, or foundation you would use for your face, try matching the skin tone to that of your face, and then get one about 2 shades lighter sence were you cut yourself is whiter (or lighter) than your tanned face. (Get a liquid and a blush) Try putting the liquid on first, and then the powedery one. Also, try braclets, ponytails, bangles, those gloves that look "stylish" and w/e else to cover up the scars. In bed, just try keeping your hands under the covers or turn away from your mom and sleep on the other side so she cant see you.

Why not try to get the help you need to stop cutting yourself? Why keep it a secret and act as if it's okay to do? Please get some help...it's never wrong to ask for help.
