You do need to stop because it is only going to cause more problems and not solve any at all.
You need to learn how to solve your problems in productive constructive ways.
Tell your mom you are stopping and you want help because you realize it is only harming you

I used to do it I no it feels good but you do need to stop
Well you've admitted to having aproblem with harming yourself that's always agood start
Admitting you have aproblem is the first step to getting better.
You have to want to stop this for yourself not for anybody else because if its for somebody else you probably won't stop.
You need to share your problems talk to your mum or dad or even your best friend or us on ask me help desk we are always hear to help.
Try talking about the problems that you had when you first started self harm this will help a lot.
Try to figure out what makes you want to self harm is it ahealth problems,family member,friend or the situation you are in.
Get asmall pocket sized hard back pad to write down your angry feelings or who and why you are angry at them instead of harming yourself.
Find things to distract yourself so you stop the urge before it gets to great and you have to.
Start asport like boxing take your anger out on the punch bag not on yourself.
Try going to a councilor or cognitive behavioural therapy,or you could talk to your doctor about antidepressants but I don't think they would be right for you being so young.
Try joining aself help group talking to others with simlar problems will help.
If you think that nothing is working for you like all of the above ask your doctor if he or she could help you find other ways to cope with stress and then maybe ask about antidepressants.

I hope this will help you and we are always hear for you if you need somebody to talk to,you can send me aprivate email or message if you want to

First I don't like the word BAD, you were not thinking clear and made a few mistakes in judgement, the most important thing is to get help.
Sadly it is hard to hide a lot of scares, but they can also be a reminder of your past and something to help others, after you have gotten though this yourself

It is not easy but you can do it,

I agree with Fr_Chuck.

And you know what, maybe it's a good thing that your mother knows, now you can talk to her about it and finally get the help that you need in order to stop.

You are not Bad, just confused, scared and in need of help.
