Okay I'm going to be going back to school in just under a month. My friend from school however managed to work out I was a self-harm and basically took one of my least favourite approaches about it. She partially attempted to do the "therapist" sort of approach, followed by the joking one. She then decided that I just plan out needed help, and by help I mean she planned to drag me to the head of my year and make me tell her. She however has at least a nice-ish idea in that she understands my side and why I'm not prepared to ask for help. Personally I didn't even want her knowing I did this to myself, let alone to do anything about it. She found out nearing the end of last term, but with all her course work and things she completely forgot to actually enforce the idea.

Over the holiday so far me and my family really haven't got on and my mind has started to play some really cruel tricks on me, amoung other things that have occured. I've basically relapsed. I don't honestly feel I'm ready for help, let alone for my family to find out I do this. But if she even finds out something not as serious as my sleeping habits getting worse she will go to the head of year. I'm seriously worried that she will seek the help for me that I don't want, but at the same time I'm completely aware that its a possibility.

I was just wondering if there was any advice on what to do in that situation because I haven't a clue. I'm aware my family will have to know and things like that because I'm only 15 (or 16 depending if she realizes in under 3 months or not), but I would like to know what is likely to happen from my school. This has happened to me before, but because I shrugged it off because it was back when I had just started and the teachers trusted me more than the student who told them I don't have any experience on what happens after. My head of year really trusts this student, and because of an event thats happened recently (won't explain its a family issue) that she knows about I'm going to be fighting a losing arguement. So yeah basically what is likely to happen.

Thanks in advance

	You're better than this. Breathe in. Breathe out. It'll be okay. I promise. Just don't forget to smile :) The funny thing is, nobody really ever knows how much anybody is hurting. We could be standing next to somebody, who is completely broken, and we wouldn't even know.
