Answer #1

You need to talk to your mom, no matter how awkward it is. She probably has a bunch of questions she wants to know. She might have been in shock when she saw them because she would never have imagined you would do that. If you want the awkwardness to go away the best bet is to talk to her about it. She’ll probably be supportive of you and open to what you have to say.

Answer #2

I’m concerned for you and I don’t even know you!! Give your Mom a break, If she is like me she is scared about what to say to you!! You definitely need to talk!! I would be really interested in knowing why you use cutting to control your emotions! Do you suffer with depression? Are you emo? Not all emos cut I’m just really curious about why you cut! Is it to bring an inward pain out?

Answer #3

You could use this experience to help parents understand what cutting is about! I hope that is what you choose to do!!

Answer #4

Well its only okward if you make it okward. There is a reason behind everything so there is a reason behind why you cut urself! If your afraid to talk to your mom then just let her know that its complicated and if you realy want to not feel okward around her tell her about it and make sher that you tell her to be patient when your talking and that you just want to tell her your story first then she can comment on her thoughts about it. Have a meeting with the family and discuss these things! If your to shy or afraid its better to write letters and stick them under her door explaining why u do what you do then she can stick it back under with her thoughts and you culd talk like that! your body is a temple its beautifull no matter the size or shape and you shuldnt cut it! Its showing disrespect for urself and for the body you live in! If you need more advise don’t be afraid to ask! God bless! And let me know if my advise worked!

v dawg or whatever is an as*hole. Obviously she is imature and oblivious to what cutting really means and why people do it. Stop being ignorant already.

And to you, I used to cut, haven’t in I’d say about 2 months now. And my mom never found my scars but once see saw a cut and I lied to her.. I can’t imagine what I would say to mine.. but if I were in the situation I would just act like it never happened at first and get back to where you two can talk and then bring it up and say you are sorry, maybe tell her why, or say you want to talk to someone else like a councelor or something like that.

best of luck. xoxo

Answer #6

I used to cut , all my family asked how I did it, I lied to them, I know I shouldnt of done, but I didnt want them to know what was really up with me. But they all got concerned about me, especially my sister, because she used to cut herself aswell, and she spoke to me about it, I just said its nothing. But I have stopped cutting now, and im a lot happier now, my family has forgot about it now, I think maybe you should talk to your mum about it, I think she will be very concerend about you, are you still cutting now, or have you stopped?? xxx

Answer #7

You cant make her FORGET about seeing scars on her daughter from cutting, that must be hard on her. Theres nothing you can do except stop cutting.

Answer #8

I don’t understand it either, is it to actually feel something? I don’t know, cutters are weird.
