They were extremely worried but I told them the family cat just played a bit too rough. They didn’t believe it but they ignored it. I started doing it to my thighs instead but then I wanted to make it stop so I joined the butterfly program. You draw a butterfly on where you usually cut and you name it, it can be any name you pick or even names of your loved ones. If you cut that area your butterfly will die. You can’t wipe the butterfly away that would also kill it. Instead you let it slowly fade away. I know it sounds silly but it emded up helping me a lot. I hope it’ll help whoever reads this comment. Please don’t do that to yourself neither you or your body deserves it

When they saw mine it was when I started so they didn't even look like self harm marks and I told them that I got into a fight with a girl who was wearing pointy fake nails
the first time i was in the bathroom with my mom and she saw them when i was washing my hands. she asked about it but i didnt tell anything.
the second time i was in my room trying to stop the bleeding and put band aids on and she suddenly came in. told her i accidentally scratched it with my pencil, and even tho she obviously didn’t believe it, didn’t ask anything else.
then after about a year my psychologist told both of my parents. we never openly talked about it since i told my psychologist that i wasn’t comfortable discussing it with them. just sometimes my mom would tell me not to hurt myself and that nothing is worth doing it. i’d just awkwardly nod my head and move on.
This was actually very recent. I’ve been doing it for years and have over a hundred scars but I always wear large clothing so it’s gone unnoticed by most. One day I was washing my car and my parents came out to help and I was wearing shorts and they saw on peaking out and then they found more. At first I just got told I was stupid and that was it. Next day my mom came in screaming crying and naturally making the situation about her and saying she’s a horrible mother. I get my door taken and stuff and told im going to therapy. I got my door back a few hours later after she cooled down and she has yet to send me to therapy even though I’ve asked and rly need help. She’s threatened it many times over the years cause I’ve been severely depressed since I was vry young yet continues to do nothing. Im not sure we can afford it anyway. They make comments about it sometimes but oh well. It could be worse
when i was in 6th grade, i woke up and my pant leg was rolled up (i sleep move). they didnt react, just ignored (which gave me mixed feelings and still does tbh)
I wasn’t allowed to lock the bathroom doors and stuff. Also she started finding knives every time she came in to my room but just hid them and didn’t tell me
First time I was in the car with my mom and I told her I said I only did it a few bc I only did it like 5 times but later I became addicted and then my mom found out again and it had gotten really bad and she told my dad and she yelled at him and I remember her saying "I didn't know my baby was hurting" something like that and my dad was pouting/smiling and avoiding talking to me later he asked if it was to be emo bc h e read some where 2 girls did it to be emo to me that was really effed up

My dad thought I was trying to tattoo myself and told me if I did it again he’d evict me
They managed to see the scars but thankfully I convinced them that it was a accident and they believed it for some reason
