My mum does. As does my dad.
However, because some shitty mental health people said it was bad, they've stopped me from going on here. They've threatened alot, so if I get caught i'm screwed.
But yeah. They don't understand about the site, thats what I think the problem is.
Ignore your stepdad, he obviously was a bit annoyed or something.

My parents know and they have pretty much just accepted it. My sister also knows and it used to worry her when she found out that I had been on it recently, once it even led to her searching through my stuff and taking away my tools. But now I think she has accepted it as well. And also my best friend knows but she doesn't like to talk about my self harm, she likes to pretend it doesn't exist.

I only found this place a few days ago. And my one friend who knows I SI, I told her I joined an SI forum and she got really angry. She made me promise to never come on here again (I lied) and that its totally wrong for me to discuss it with people that do it as well. Her view is that im better off surrounded by happy people. She thinks that posting on here is encouraging the habit.
No-one knew for a while, then I told my boyfriend, but told him I didnt want him to look on here and He never and Iv told a few of my family members since everything came out in the open a few weeks ago!
My parents are aware I'm on some sort of site for 'this stuff'. But, I think that's it. They don't know who I am/what the site is. My dad found it once when I didn't have time to delete the history before being kicked off, but he's probably forgotten it.
One of my friends at Uni knows I go on a pro-site as she came in one night and I wasn't expecting it and didn't close the browser. She tutted at me, that was about it. (She does it too, strange world).
I think everyone I know knows I come on here now.. with the exception of the actual people I live with (my mum and brother). I never viewed this site as a private one to me I just used it to I dont know talk? But because I no longer actually ever ask for support I feel free to tell everyone I know about it because to me its just a way of communicating to my friends
Take care xxx
I WILL FORGET THOSE THAT HAVE HURT ME
BUT I WILL NEVER FORGET THOSE WHO ARE ALWAYS THERE TO HELP ME
nobodyyy. nobody knows i come on ryl. one of my teachers knows i come on an online support site, but she doesnt know the name or anything. she did notice i was wearing the bracelet once though, and asked what it stood for. but i think i just told her it was private.
i dont think i'd be very comfortable with people knowing... i like this place being somewhere i can come and just vent, without worrying about who's reading.
no one knows i come on here. I wouldnt want them too. It means i an say exactly how im feeling and have no worries about people finding out anything. No one knows I self harm either... and if they do they think I stopped years ago.
i used to come on here as a different name but family found out and were totally against it. Now im on here nobody knows. Well except you guys of course
Thought I oughta bare my naked feelings
Thought I oughta tear the curtain down
I held the blade in trembling hands
Prepared to make it but just then the phone rang
I never had the nerve to make the final cut
No-one, well a few internet people do know, but no 'real' people. I dont reall come on that much anymore though, i used to be on here ALL the time on v2 [different username]
" my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never, never leave you during your times of trials and suffering. When you see only one set of footprints it was then that I carried you" you were carried out of are lifes into the next and when its my time to leave this life I know i will be carried into the next life with you.
I wish i had my world complete again.

nobody knows...and I like it that way. I know my dad wouldn't understand; he's already ask if I SI with friends as a "fad" (any friends IRL who are SI-ers don't know about me anyways) so he'd probably think this was a pro SI site. I'm not sure what my mom would think...not ready for that yet. Not ready to tell friends either because if they find me and read some of my posts I'm screwed. My teacher suggested the other day that I find a SI support group in the area and I wanted to say, "But I already have RYL which is 10x better because someone is available 24/7 if you look hard enough!"...but I didn't say anything
