As has been mentioned before, you should seek some professional assistance to help you with your goal. It's majorly an unhealthy habbit and could have detrimental effects to your own sanity.

There are things called the Patient Privacy act - with facilities that are focused towards teens, you could seek help there and they cannot disclose information to your parents without you present (unless subpoena'd by a grand jury / judge. It's extremely hard for someone to obtain a subpoena without being a law official of some sort.

Furthermore, if you tell your parents- you will stop your habbit immediately. Most caring parents will make it almost impossible for you to cut yourself. This will ultimately stress you out and make you develop other habbits to rationalize your stress relief; however, for accomplishing your goal, you should really speak with your parents and have them help you with a medical professional to accomplish your goal.

All the same, I hope you make the best decision possible. Best regards,
ArtistBBoy

Your parents will find out eventually scars are forever, seek mental help and let your parents help you it will only get worse in the long run if you keep lieing to them

self injuring is a psychological disorder. You need to be seen by a professional, before you truly hurt yourself badly

Answerer Exactly my point. If they truly care, they'll get you the right help. If they don't they have too much pride and are not willing to swallow their pride to admit that there is a problem going on. - 4 months ago

I used to have that problem. What got me to stop was thinking about how bad I would feel if people saw. I don't know if that would affect you the way it did me.
The sad thing is, I stopped about 5 years ago, and I still can't wear short sleeves without it showing. If you don't stop, it will most likely get to that point if it hasn't already.
There are certain days where it's too hot to wear long sleeves and wearing a jacket makes me look like a freak.
Those are the days I am constantly hiding my arm. Constantly worried because they are so large and shiny and there's so many of them overlapping each other. Constantly so anxious that I can't even have any fun. Constantly making weird movements even at work to attempt to hide something I know people have seen. That's why I hate summer. Do you want to hate summer?

You know what, you need to stop. It is that simple. You know this is crazy, harmful behavior. You know that you should talk to someone about your problem.s But first, you simply need to stop.

Question Asker Thats what I'm trying to do? - 4 months ago
Answerer Then do it. Asking for advice on how to stop will not help. You know you don't need advice. You just need to stop. I don't know if you feel that you need attention and that is why you are talking about stopping instead of simply stopping. You need to stop, then get the attention you clearly need from your family by talking with them about your issues. - 4 months ago
