    Maybe you don't tell her directly. It's VERY possible she doesn't know what to think or what to say and so she brushes you off, tells you to snap out of it. She may also be afraid and know what to do.

    Is there an adult you can talk to? Perhaps an aunt or a teacher or a clergyperson? Perhaps a Doctor? Tell them how you feel and ask them to speak to your mother, perhaps in your presence.

    There is no need to feel depressed and upset and you already know how harmful cutting can be.

    You really need to speak to someone - the question is who will listen to you and understand. Do you have any thoughts about that?

    Like Judy asked you, is there an adult in your life you would trust to talk to about this? If nothing else, stay here with us and we can talk with you.

    Oh! Would you be willing to call the suicide hot-line and talk with someone who's trained in these things? Here is one for suicide and one just for talking about stuff like the cutting. They are really cool people who will help you figure out what to do next --
