How can I tell my parents?

Find someone, preferably someone older than you to talk to about this. Or just talk to someone about it here. Whatever reason you have to cut is not a reason good enough to cut yourself. I'm not asking you to do much, I'm just asking you to try and stop cutting for as long as possible somehow or the other. I don't really know why your mom hits you but I'm sure at least your dad will believe you if you show your scars. If you want to get out of this you have to face the truth right? The truth that you do cut yourself, even if you aren't proud of your scars. You'll make it through. Just believe in yourself and don't justify your fears. Face them and fight them. I know it is easier said than done. I'm not asking you to win the battle today, I'm just asking you to take another step towards getting better! You've been brave enough to post about this, I'm sure you'll find your way through. Lots of love!<3 and good luck. Be brave :D

Well, do you have any siblings? maybe you can tell them. Just try talking to your dad... And if you tell your mom and she beats you up... report it to the officers. They should know how to treat you. You are their child. I know they love you. If things got worse, go to your friend.... or neighbors and let them help you. Hope this helps... God Bless You dear! ♥

go live with a realitive for a year or two.....your currant lving conditions are toxic

Do you have an older sibling? if so,talk to them about it. Just come out to them or anyone you can truly trust. Many parents are like that because they don't want you to be 'weak' but what parents don't know is that it can severely hurt their child. Find or try to make a couple friends who would listen and help you through these problems. Make sure they know exactly how you're feeling,so they can try to help you as much as they can, but just telling someone can be extremely hard.I know exactly how you feel,but i've told someone about it and promised to stop..i obviously broke that promise and didn't tell them about it,so now im cooped up inside my head and its driving me crazy! Please just tell someone and stay strong. You're stronger than you know and only you could handle a situation like this <3333

Goodness. Well for starters, nothing here is your fault. I can understand why you would hesitate to tell them since they are pretty much the source of the problem. Is there a teacher or some other authority figure who you can tell?

I have gone through the same things. And just the same with you I haven't had the best relationship with my parents either. But one night after I overdose on sleeping pills, it hit me that what am I doing? Yah I have nothing to live for but still self harm isn't doesn't help anything it only eliminates the possibility of it ever getting better. So for self-harm, just stop. As corny it sounds, write out your pain, write it all out, get a diary or journal and just release your pain with words not on yourself. Start writing and music will help to. Even if your not a writing person it will still help. And if your not comfortable, find a teacher or friend that you TRULY trust and talk to them. For crying, to be honest I still cry myself to sleep just because some troubles, but yah crying can release your emotion, but I cry in the shower or before sleeping just because, I don't want to show my parents. The crying part is natural for everyone who is in pain. You just have to let out the tears to be honest, there is no way can hold them back. I thought I was the cause of my parents split and that is where I started self-infliction and crying but, your parents would never blame for anything for something you haven't done. You have to remember its not your fault, even though you feel guilty of something, its not your problem, its not your fault. If you have siblings, I didn't trust mine just because we didn't have that connection where I can tell them everything. But if you have siblings and you have the connection then talk to them.
