how do you hide scars?

ok, I have these scars and im pretty ashamed of them. when im handing my parents something, I use my left hand and if I have 2 use my right, I turn my wrist all the way in so nobody can see the nasty scars. I cut a lot but try not 2…sometimes I make little slips and cant stop myself from doing it. last december my parents found out that I cut myself but they believe I stopped. I dont really know what 2 do but sometimes my brother makes fun of me for it. like the other day he asked me tips on cutting (him and his sarcasm) and my parents laughed. then later I was on the phone and I told my friend I had 2 go outside so we could talk and my brother was and the back ground sayin loudly how I was going outside so I could whine about how awful my life was…then my mom chimed and and said how I just had awful family and I just needed 2 go cut myself. everyday they make me feel worse and worse. I dont know anyone with parents like this. I tried running away once but thats how my parents found out about me cutting. my brother went on my myspace friends list and sent messages 2 all the guys who looked the least bit “emo” and told them 2 live me the fck alone and stuff…then my parents took his side and said I shouldnt b talkin 2 guys anyways. everytime I try 2 just leave my family alone and walk away from their sht, they tell me how I need 2 start having more 2 do with the family. when the cops picked me up and december, I could have told them everything and I wouldnt be living with my parents anymore but I am the kind of person where I dont want 2 hurt anyone no matter how badly they hurt me so I didnt tell them what went on at my house so basicly I saved my family heart ache. about a week ago I tried 2 commit suicide…I took a bunch of pills then cut myself and I cut open some blood vessels and I just wouldnt die…I dont know where 2 turn or what 2 do…life doesnt mean anything anymore…anyone got somethin 2 say 2 that? any advice?

Answer #1

I get how you feel and it really sucks to be depressed, if you stop cutting and let your arm heal then they will fade a bit and won’t be as noticable. Im sorry about your family. And I understand how cutting is on you. so how about you get some friends who used to cut and talk to them. It’ll help talking to people who know how you feel. Or you could fun mail me or something. Ide be glad to talk to you of you want.

Answer #2

wow. i know this is REALLY old, but i just now saw it. lol wow. your family is horrible. cutting is a serious thing and they’re going to make jokes about it? your not the only one w/that kind of family. a lot of people have abusive families. i cut myself all down my arm. it’s very hard to stop. :( i even tried to commit suicide 2 and wouldn’t die like u did. it’s been a year since u’ve asked this so i hope ur not doing this anymore (like i am, but i wish i wasn’t) and that ur family either changed or u somehow got away from them.
