a few months ago, I walked innon my parents abusing each other, and ever since I have had urges to cut, I am only 12 and I don't know what to do, I've been holding back for ages but I'm scared that soon I won't, I need help but don't want to tell anyone

I'm 28 and I still cut myself when confronted with things I can't control. Cutting and other forms of self-mutilation are attempts to be in control of usu. emotional pain realized as physical pain. Having something tangible--a cut, the blood, the physical pain--makes you feel more aware of your inner turmoil. It is not an outlet or a cry for help (unless you cut in obvious places). Cutting is a form of structure. Speak to an adult that you trust that can help you get in touch with someone that can provide you with medication and/or talk therapy. I did this all throughout high school until I finally got a round of meds that worked for me. When I lost my insurance and stopped taking the meds, I began resorting to behaviors like this. I do not suggest doping children, but something should be done. Paradoxically, this attempt of establishing control is something that easily can get out of your control. Remember, this is not your fault, but if you don't tell someone, then THAT is no one's fault but your own. Good luck.

you have to ask your self what is making you want to do it and is it a happy want to or a mad pissed off reason or a sad reason if so just think if you are one of those y is it that you are is it a sexual thing or is it a I just want to hurt my self reason if you just want to hurt your self and cause harm then it is not a good thing to do that
