Hey,
Maybe counselling might be a good idea, sweet. You'll be able to talk about what's going on, what's on your mind, ect and understand why your self-harming and what you could do instead and such. It might be really good use to you. Just give it a go and see what happens.
Telling your Dad might seem really scary and such because you don't know how he'll react.. though I think it might be a good thing if he knows. He'll be able to support you once he understands and everything. If you do tell him, he might seem angry at first but that's alright. It'll be a shock. He'll just be worried about you and might not know how to re-act. Once he gets over the shock and you talk to him more and maybe give him some information on it, he'll be able to support you.
Your friend, I'm sure it's just a shock to him and he doesn't understand about self-harming obviously if he asked you to PROMISE not to harm. It's addictive. You can't stop 'just like that'. So maybe you need to give him some infromation or explain to him about it? Or just give him some time.
Hope you're alright. I'm here if you ever want to talk about anything. Take care and hope everything goes alright. xo.
