Ok I'm 14 and i started cutting since i was 12. I know its bad but i can't stop. Recently i had a breakup and the cutting got worse. There are more scars and i made them deeper. And now the scars are more visible than ever and i don't want ANYBODY to find out! I really want to stop in my heart but I don't want to. I really do need help but the one thing i don't want to do is talk to an adult. So I'm asking for help and hopefully you can help me so Thank You and God Bless!

  1. I know that it is hard to confront an adult about a problem you have but i guarantee that if you talk to someone that loves you they will not be mad or upset, just concerned. This is a serious problem and you need to find help.

    If you really don't want to talk to anyone, try looking up relaxation and meditation techniques, these can help to relieve stress. Try going for a run or working out when you feel like you need to cut yourself. The brain releases "feel good" chemicals when you work out that are similar to the ones released when you cut yourself. Good luck to you!  


  2. relaxe you need to talk to your self not in a crazy way just calm down and type on your computer about your feeling i use to do the same thing but it been 4 months now. try to get a hobby to keep you busy draw do your anger on something else. just stop it going to end up worse if you dont

  3. Step 1: Ensure your emotion is controlled daily. Don't over reacted, stay calm and don't get worry easily

    Step 2: Think before your action. Don't repeat her past experience on herself. Remind herself from time to time.

    Step 3: Be confident to yourselves. Remember everyone is the winner. "Only One sperms out of millions fertilize an egg"

    Step 4: Get a group of close friends to share your experience and get some activities that would occupied your time

    Step 5: Increase scope of life. Meaning that she should involve in more social activities like dancing, outing and others.

    Step 6: Put a rubberband on the wrist. If there is a negative thought, Tighten the rubber band and release it. Hence the effect of the pain would be able to reduce the possibility of negative thought.

    Good Luck.

  4. You may not want to talk to an adult, but you have to, it is the best way, but, in the meanwhile, talk to a friend or cousin, you should tell your parents, if you are afraid to alone, ask one of your friend's to sit there with you, and if you try to not tell them, tell her to just show them your scars, by force, it may sound hard, and no doubt will be, but you would be surprised how understanding they will be.  I am 14 too, one of my best friends used to cut, her mom found out the hard way, her entire family was extremely supportive, yours will be too. Every time you want to cut, ask yourself, "What will doing this accomplish?"  or something like that, remind yourself that it will only make things worse, also, to take care of your scars, put vitamin E lotion on the current cuts, scar cream (such as mederma) on the scars, and you can use make-up to hide them, good luck, and if you ever want someone to talk to that the chances that she knows you are slim to none, feel free to Email or IM me on Yahoo, again, good luck!

  5. i have the help u need please email me engylovesunknown@yahoo.com   i my self im a cutter and have been since i was 10 and i am now 14 and i was elling everything that u are and now i am recovering and i didnt have to see an adult i can help u if ur willing to give me a chance  

  6. talk to a psychotherapist. this can be signs of a serious problem. Don't let the doctor put you on medication without telling you all the side effects.


  7. Please talk to a psychologist or pyschiatirist.

  8. Before you cut, go outside. Out of your room, your house. Go outside. Take a deep breath. Now think about all the people you are hurting by hurting yourself. Call one of your friends that you care about and talk to them about how you feel.

  9. I know what you're going throw, you're not alone. I cut for years. I'm 16 and I haven't cut in a year now. Don't worry, things won't be this difficult forever, it'll get easier with the time, but you need to stop NOW.

    I'm afraid you won't be able to hide it forever, but don't be ashamed. You're human, you made a mistake and need help. It's not something to be ashamed of. Find someone you trust and tell them about it. If you don't want to tell them, just let them find out. You can't go throw this alone. Your family or a friend will understand and do whatever they can to help you, but you must to help yourself too.

    First of all, throw away all your blades or whatever you use to cut. Whenever you feel like cutting, go out! Find a hobby or something that keeps your mind out of it. Sport really works.

    Don't worry about scars, everybody makes mistakes, it's not something to be ashamed of. Things will get better, you just need time. The pain will fade away. Hopefully when you're my age, you'll look at your scars and it won't hurt, they'll be just a memory of something you don't want to repeat.

    Be strong and take care!
