If I tell my parents I cut and I get therapy...?

Question

does my school have to find out? because one of the rules is you'll be asked to leave if you cut but I really want help I just don't want my school to find out. is that possible? [i go to private]

Answer 1

heh.. i used to cut my self ALOT daily, in class, bathrooms, n such...

But i got tired of pain it didn't fulfill my needs any more i switched to loud music, art, and smiles, lol, it helped

but most of all i found some one, who wasn't a Dr. or anything, to talk to, he is now my brother :3 we've been 2 gether (not like THAT) for a while now just find some one 2 talk 2... me even :D([e-mail]) ;3

Answer 2

If your school finds out that you have been cutting, but also find out you are getting help, there shouldnt be a problem.

You school doesnt have to know, its your personal business, you dont have to tell them, so they shouldnt find out anyway.

Answer 3

I'm sure if you get a therapist that isn't affiliated with your school system, they aren't obligated to tell them.  If you talk to you parents about it I'm sure you can come up with a solution that doesn't get you kicked out of school.  Just for the record I think that your school's policy is really messed up though.  Good luck and I really hope you get the help you need.

Answer 4

no i dont think ur school will kick u out bescause they dont have to know  it dosnt really have anything to do with ur school

but it is really good that u decided u need help and if this hasnt occured 2 u allready stop cutting ur self

Answer 5

The only way the school will ever find out is if you make this a public thing, if you tell a bunch of people, or if your parents tell the school, which would be a dumb thing to do. I think you should get therapy, it's more important than what the school thinks.

Answer 6

well, you're getting help so that's good. i think it's a part of the doctor/patient confidentiality. unless i'm mistaken, i don't think they can legally tell the school without your consent. but if it's something like cutting, i don't know if they would be obligated. either way, i wouldn't stop going to therapy.

Answer 7

No, your therapy and medical information is confidential. The only thing they need to know is basically your immunization records and any illnesses that might require treatment at school. I'm really happy that you are going to get help.

Answer 8

I don't think the school would have to know because of HIPPA privacy acts.  

Answer 9

Probably I don't see how your school would find out if you told your parents. unless your parents told the school.

Answer 10

yeah. as long as your therapy wouldn't be during the hours of school they wouldn't have to know. And besides isn't it like morally wrong to kick someone out of your school because they cut themselves? like that's a serious problem, and they're basically making people feel like they have to hide what they're doing and can't seek help.If they give you trouble at school just try to fight it the best way you can.

Answer 11

As long as ur parents know u cut school, u have nothing to worry about, because u earn their trust and they shouldnt tell the school if they already know. The reason u get in trouble in school when cutting is because the school finds out and then have to tell ur parents,but since u already told the people who r in charge of u, no one else needs to know.
