At first I told a lot of people because, like the person above, I told one person and then they told someone and so on; so out of fear of people finding out not from me, and then judging me I told more people than I ever wanted to know. Looking back I don't really regret it because most people I told I didn't care what they thought.
After that first month though, I didn't tell anyone, my parents found out because my mother we snooping and looked at my arm while I slept. Then last year I told a friend that I really cared about how she would react, she's the best thing that's happened to me. Since then I have told a few people, I regret telling at least one person, but situations arise where people found out because of the situation I was in. I feel guilty, actually, that some of my friends know because when I cut it's like I'm letting them down and that hurts more than if no one knew and I wouldn't disappoint anyone.
But because of summer coming up I'm going to have to get over people seeing my arm. I'm just afraid of how some of my friends will react. Sorry this is so long.
