i'm 13 years old and i cut myself. i have cuts on my left arm and my legs. I know its bad for me and i'm sure that bleeding all the time isn't good. i want to know what the best method of quitting is. i've talked to a friend of mine who used to self injur and he's helped, but we cut for differnt reasons and sometimes its hard fro him to understand where i'm coming from when i say something. if you have any methods that i could use on my own that would be great! i don;t want to tell my parents because i'm afraid of what they'll think of me. i'm nervous of what they'd say :/ please help! i know i should stop, but its like and addiction! is there a way i can stop in my own, or should i bite the bullet tell my parents and see a doctor? my parent don;t really approve of me being "emo" and i'm afraid they'll put me in an insane asylum or something. help
