Dear cuteamie,
people who self harm themselves usually suffer from depression that can be treated by nutritional means.
Please, you have to tell someone and I think it is best to tell your school counselor or anyone you can trust.
It is not a mental disease, but a biological abnormality that make you feel depressed and upset.
Please print out the article:
"depression a nutritional disorder" at our web site at:

and present it to your parents, a counsellor, therapist or doctor. They will be able to help you.
