I am young (12 to be on the dot), and I am a cutter. Every time I try to stop something happens and I start once more, some of my friends try to get me to stop. one of them is saying that she will take me to get help, professional help but i refuse (sp?) to go.i am scard of what they will say, and of getting help. I am addicted to cutting. How do I stop? Can you help me?

Getting help does not have to be a scary thing, sweetie, and if you make the brave step to seek help yourself, you will not have to go through the process of having one of your friends tell a teacher or counselor behind your back and being caught unaware. Why are you scared of getting help? If you want help, there are people who can work with you toward stopping harming yourself.
Isaiah 43:1-3 "But now, this is what the Lord says - he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: 'Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.'"
my advise is to go to a school coulserer. i did and it helped. they don't have to tell your paronts if you don't want to
Don't get the octopus upset, It may eat itself!(8)ismfof - WTFWJD
im tired.... so tired of hiding my self, my life, my world.
what is so wrong with being me?

You should check with your counselor what the confidentiality policy is to reassure you about being able to talk to them.
Its so brave of you to make the first step, its ok to get help there is nothing wrong with it. You dont need to tell anyone about it if you are worried people will treat you differently. and the counselor will most certainly not treat you like you are different, they will want to help you.
good luck xxx

...My smile's just the armour I built when I was alone...
There was some part of me that hurt so badly, that I wouldn't ever be able to forget it.
It faded but the memories could bring it back any second, keeping me in the moment.
It would never fully heal. I could never really be free. I could never really be fixed. Now I just have to work out how to live whilst being broken.
I feel like I'm dying.
I'm so sorry you're having trouble :(
Maybe you could try writing about your problems, get it out on paper instead of taking it out on yourself. I find that that helps me. You could also try looking for a list of distractions, I think there's one in this forum actually.
But yes, getting professional help would be the best move for you. It's difficult to try and quit alone. Your friends obviously care about you a lot to want to help; you're lucky to have them <3
Life is about love, last minutes and lost evenings,
About fire in our bellies and furtive little feelings,
And the aching amplitudes that set our needles all a-flickering,
And help us with remembering that the only thing that's left to do is live.
I'm sorry you're in a bad place right now hun, but prehaps professional help might help you stop cutting - trying to quit cutting on your own can be very difficult. Hope you get the support and help you need. <3
I asked them if they would find a person that is a cutter to be a danger to them self and they sayed yes and that they would call my mom so I did not do it. I am going to try on my own lels hope i can do it
