I havent cut myself since school ended last year, partly because my parents found out and I couldnt hide it and partly because of not being in school I guess. I'm really worried about going back to school because of all the stresses and because my gym teacher knows and I'm afraid to face her.
How do you deal with the stresses of homework and people? Also what should I do about my teacher?
and she turns up the music to drown out her life....
Have you tried snapping a rubber band? Has your parents sent you to a therapist? If not that may help.... I'm not sure what to do about your teacher.... What was her reaction when she found out?

i saw therapists 3 actually but they all left me so i dont see anyone anymore and as for the rubberband i tend to do it to hard and it leaves marks for weeks
my teacher was really nice about it but then she asks about it i know shes just checking up on me but it freaks me out thinking that she knows her and some of my friends
and she turns up the music to drown out her life....
understandable.....it freaked me out when people found out at first as well......I know it's hard with the therapist but I it does really help when you find someone who fits if that makes sense...... have you tried writing poems or just writing words.... What about cutting (if that what you do) something else like wood or paper....

If your parents know and your recieving help the school can't do any more. If your teacher brings it up I would tell her that you appreciate her concern, but your family is helping you and you dont wish to discuss your private matters with her.
Good luck with school

Talk to your teachers, if school is your main reason for self harming they shoudl fo something to help you feel less stresed at school! If you don't want to talk to them get your parents to x

Personally, school is a huge contributor to my self injury. :/ So I'm dreading this Monday. I've already started to do it more regularly just thinking about it, so I'm really worried. Le sigh. We're in the same boat. Just know you're not alone.
Do what you love to do, and you'll never work another day in your life.
I would tell them if they weren't going to tell my parents, but they're obligated to. And my parents aren't going to find out; they don't believe in mental illness.

ya and i would kinda like to talk to this teacher but ill get sent back to the school social worker. she threatened my mom that she would call social services and have me taken away if my mom didnt send me to the hospital...bad times
and she turns up the music to drown out her life....
I am also dreading going back to school in September and I am dreading it. Even worse I've just left secondary school and am starting at college. I got bad GCSE results becuase I was ill with depression for the majority of the school time and in a mental hospital during the exam period :( So they've put me on a low course and now I have to prove myself to get higher.
It's probably not going to be as bad as you're expecting, though. Try not to worry about it. When you do go back I recommend speaking to your favourite teacher about it. A little conversation can go a long way.
That social worker sounds insane! You should make a formal complaint about that x
I understnad you don't want parents to know because you think they will react badly, fair enough maybe you know they wouldn't take it well. But I hate to say this, eventually they will find out, even if they were told and didn't take it well, you'd still be able to get the help you need. I had my favourite teacher explain to my mum about my self harm so i didn't even have to do it, that helped. Even if they don't understand, you'll be able to accsess people who do understand and could even help your parents understnad it too. x

I get depressed nearer the end of the summer, before school starts again, get more anxious. My parents know, but don't give a sh*t, my teachers know, I am dreading school in September. :\. If my gym teacher asks me about my scars, i just say it's a personal problem but i'm seeing someone about it, or something like that.
I know how you feel, school gets me insanely stressed too. Do you have anything you like to do? Maybe if you get stressed, you could listen to loud music, play a sport, draw, write, do what you like. It could take your mind off it. As for your teacher, well maybe you'll have some support in confiding in her since she already knows.
There has to be one person in the entire of your schools or colleges who will help. I was bullied all through school and college. Teachers had known since I was in year 8 (second year seniors) that I self harmed. My tutor, head of year and science teacher were all extremely helpful. I could talk to them any time. They let me do my classwork on my own in a little disused office. Please please get some help. School shouldn't be the reason you SI, well there is nothing that should make anyone SI but people do and they get help with it.
I'm sorry if that sounds harsh but please don't suffer in silence.
I'm kind of dreading going back to school as the holidays have really helped me calm down and start to accept myself.
Kind of dreading the 'are you ok?' question from the teachers that found out last year. But my teachers have been supportive and understanding. I found that the best thing to do was to sit down and talk to them straight. Maybe tell your gymn teacher that your parents know, you are recovering and you would appreciate it if she could give you some space?
also might be a plan to try some relaxation techniques like writing down your day/ bad thoughts to get the feelings out, breathing exercises etc.
