how do i tell my parents i had cut

If telling them directly is difficult, you could try showing them this post, or an article or something about self harm, and then bringing up that you cut as part of the discussion. Also, if you want to avoid a lot of questions, try specifying that you would like them to be calm, and just listen, rather than question. However you decide to approach it, I'm proud of you for reaching out to them, and I hope they support you, and that their support helps as much as possible :)

I don't think it really matters how you tell them. If you have a good or fairly good family, then they will respond with care no matter what. However, here is a sample script you can use or customize:"Hey, when you have some time, can I talk to you about something important? I really don't want you to be angry or to be judged. I just need you to listen."Then, when they are able to talk, you can say something like:"As a reminder, I don't want you to get upset or to judge me. I just need you to listen. I don't always feel good sometimes. I am not even sure why I do what I do sometimes, but I have been hurting myself. I think it makes me feel better if I do it, but I also know it's harmful. I want to stop doing it though and need help."Remember, you can customize it to add more to it or to leave out some things. I am so proud of you for wanting to take the first step in communicating with them! It shows that you do have strength. Even adults cannot do this sometimes. Also, I am very sorry that you are going through whatever pain it is you have. There are people who want to help though, and it CAN be helped. Best wishes to you and stay safe please!! <3

I think it is important that it may come to a shock to your parents that you have cut yourself. I know that I had cut myself in the past and when I started up again I reached out to my mom and she didn't react the way I wanted her to. But just because she didn't say the perfect thing doesn't mean she doesn't love me. So tell them and remember that it is hard for them too. And my mom wanted to see my cuts too she practically asked me everyday even my therapist confirmed that I should show her my cuts, but I never budged. So don't do anything you don't want to, explain that you aren't comfortable with that and hopefully they will respect your wishes.

When telling them take in mind that they will worry a lot, and be chacking on you more because the are you parents and you are they chiled they dont wont anything bad to be happening to you, they want to keep you safe and that no metter you do they will always love you with all they got. When telling them tell them how you felt when you were doing it and why did you do it . promise them that you wont do it again and that you need them to support you right now not to shout at you for what you did. Be fully honest with them before starting the conversation ask them to sit down because you have to tell them something and dont be standing over them but sit dont infront of them as well so they dont feel surrounded byt the whole situation and useless. You will do fine just open to them they love you they will understand.
