Quies; ...actually, it's not really encouraging each other to hide the cutting. It's helping them by telling them how to stay away from trouble. Do you what would happen if someone found out? e.e Wouldn't be pretty.
And they aren't constantly posting about it?

The other day, it was either Gibbs or Hero that was posting it quite a lot around the forums (twice in the cbox, again on another thread, and here), I can't remember which
doesn't matter now

If you get caught you get help. *shrugs* Sometimes that's better than any other consequence.

Quies: Oh ok
Ellie: It depends on who finds out, though. And who they tell.

Idk. I think she said it to sound deep xD~
I've never really cared much what people think of me, so I don't really have much to say on that subject...
..but I mean, you never know. A lot of teens these days seem to get the idea that their parents really don't care for them, and it may seem that way, but you're still their child and so they'll still be concerned. I mean, I can't speak for all parents, of course everyone's going to have different relationship with them. I'm just saying, try not to assume they'll automatically think you're crazy. They'd probably think you'd need help. And, in reality, you might need help. This doesn't mean they'll start piling anti-depressants or drag you to a psychiatrist (although pyschiartists DO help; that cousin I mentioned went to one because she was self-harming and depressed, and it really helped him).
Again, I'm just trying to help...please don't assume I'm acting like I know your situation: again, everyone has different relationships with their parents, and I don't know what yours might be like, so yeah...
Have you guys ever thought about alternations to self-harm?

Stick a rubber band around your wrist. Wear it EVERYWHERE. If you ever feel the urge to cut, snap your rubber band a couple times. It stings a bit, vents your anger, and doesn't scar.

There's actually a lot of alternate solutions for different reasons...like if you want to see blood, want to feel pain, or just want to see the cuts, there's loads of different options. Like some people who just want to see cuts just use sharpie/marker. I also know some people switch from cutting to using their fingernails to slowly ease out of it.

o-o That's deep But how does it apply? You'll have your own faults and the world will look down on those faults. However, everyone else has faults, so you can look at them and laugh at them for pointing out your faults. Basically, just get help or tell someone because they can't judge you for it since chances are they've done something similar.

I've only ever cut with my nails. I'm too afraid of sharp things But I don't do it as much as someone who uses something else And it's nearly stopped now
