I told a teacher about my SI. She was very nice and everything, but then she went and got my head of year, who proceeded to question me for about an hour. And all I did was sit there and shrug my shoulders.
They didn't say anything about telling my parents, so I'm praying they won't...
I think it was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. But I hope it was worth it.
and there she goes with her head in the clouds again, ignoring the drama and chasing her dreams. because to her, reality is a stranger.
Im so proud of you for telling your teacher : ) I told my teacher last year and it was probably one of the best decisions I have ever made, I never regreted it. I hope you think it was worth it, and it probably will be. Its good to have support like that in school, and I hope you continue to get that from your teacher.
About your head of year... I dont think you need to explain yourself, but just enough so they know the situation, because if you leave them wondering, they might make up their own conclusions, which may not be accurate...
My school never called me parents about my SI. Im sure if they planned on telling you parents, they would let you know before hand.
Every time you get up and get back in the race,
One more small piece of you starts
To fall into place
congrats on telling someone!!!! that's extremely courageous and AWESOME of you
i didnt necessarily tell a teacher but they found out. they talked to me and we went to see the school counselor and they called my parents while i sat there. the thing, though, was that my parents already knew. i think that if they were going to tell your 'rents, they would tell you first, but i'm not sure.
i congratulate you on letting someone know
SI free since 12/20/09
~What the hell am i doing here? I don't belong here~
That's really good of you to tell your teacher
It seems like they gave you more help than what I got
My mum told the headteacher and she wouldn't let me wear long sleeves or anything to hide it
They were meant to arrange meetings with the school counsellor but that never happened
Well done for telling someone
I hope you feel better for it now
my "friend" told my teacher for me. who said i could talk to her in confidence, but then went and told my head of year, who spoke to my parents.
well done for telling your teacher yourself, thats really brave, and I could never do that.
I think you are so brave for telling someone. People can only help you if they know you need help. But i know asking for help is the hardest thing to do. WELL DONE!
i think you did really well honey, and you were really brave. i hope that someone can start to help you now, or at least you'll have someone to talk to. though you always have us!

Thanks everyone. My head of year said that he wouldn't tell my parents if he could trust me not to do it again... and he keeps checking my wrists, so I can't cut there anymore or he'll tell my parents...
