    Yeah, teachers can tell your parents if you self harm as you are considered "a risk to yourself and/or others". But it doesn't mean they will. Speak to one of your teachers, if they know, and make it clear to them you don't want your parents told. So long as you don't actually cut in school, they probably wont say anything to your parents unless you agree to it.

    Also... please add punctuation to your posts! They are really difficult to read without. x

    if you feel like you want to tell someone, tell them. It's the only way to move forward *hug* I know it seems scary you parents finding out, and yeah maybe they'll be abit cross.. but it's because they love you and probably feel unable to help. If you don't feel able to actually tell them, is it possible for you to write them a letter? That's how I did it. x

    My dad? He was okay, I don't live with him, but he's sort of a counselor so understood. He was still upset though obviously.

    My mum was very angry with me... she thought I was attention seeking, blah blah blah. I then tried to kill myself, she found me, and realized that I really did have problems. I got help for a little bit, but didn't really like it. Now, if I have cuts or anything, she doesn't say anything. xx

    If they know those things already, then I think you should tell them everything else. It will make it a lot easier for you to get the help you need, and you'll feel a lot better having told them :)
    and, I'm okay thanks :) x
