I am 12 years old... I have been cutting since this January but it has been getting worse and I'm thinking that if I die no one would notice. Suicide is a clear option yet there is much to lose. I just want to know how to tell her before it gets too bad and I end up doing something stupid.

Walk up to her and show her your scars. Let us know what she does. I bet she will be very upset and get you the help you need.

I thought of that but I think she will get mad at me.. I told her in February I stopped because I was scared of what she would do.

What do you think she's going to do?

Why do you think you can't tell her? If you were my daughter, I would hold you tight and get help for you.

Was she mad when you talked to her about it earlier this year? Mad mad or scared mad?

She may be upset because she wants you to ask her for help. Is your dad around?

She wasn't mad in February but she might be if I tell her because she'd know I lied when I said I stopped.

Ok, go show your mom. I doubt she will be mad. Let us know what happens. Another choice is to tell your teacher. We are there to help, too.

She will be sad and disappointed, not mad, but it might look like mad at first. You need her on your side to know about this so she can get help for you.

I'm at a neighbors and it's midnight. My heat shut off in my house so my brother and I had to go next door.
