An excuse for cuts on my arm?

Question

Just a week ago I was having so many problems with my dad and I ended up being tempted to cut myself, and I went ahead. Just a week later, now, I realized how stupid it was. But I need an excuse for the cuts because all I've been doing was hide them under my jacket but I live in Southern Cali and it's summer, way too hot for a jacket. Please help. :(

Answer 1

say that you were doing some work around the house. or that u got scratched by your (if you have one) cat. or just be like oh i dont know how those got there probably little things here and there. hope i helped and please dont do that again (:

Answer 2

You should just own up to it and, if possible, try to talk things over with someone whom you can trust.  Or eventually try to come to an understanding with your dad so you might be able to avoid further problems with him.

Answer 3

if theyre very noticable and big theres really nothing to do..you can say that you got scratched by a dog..quite believeable

Answer 4

tell the truth. You will feel better......been there done that. :)

hang in there.

Answer 5

You might realize it is stupid now but what hapens when you get mad at your dad again. If it's not a problem now, it may turn into one. If you cut yourself again you need to tell somebody. Its a serious issues among teenagers. You should google it

Answer 6

say you fell into a rose bush on that side and if they ask why its only on your arm say you were wearing jeans.

If you do it again you need help, but you seem to know that you did something stupid, so it doesn't seem like you need it.

Answer 7

please get help, don't make excuses
