So latly I've been more stressed out and worried then normal my dads trying to make me move to californa with him my stepmom and step siblings. I know in a few weeks we're going to get into a fight about all of it since he's not at all good with trying to convince me other wise and he's starts hitting me when things don't go the way he wants them to go. Don't get me wrong I've fought him and my mom before and that was a few years ago when I placed them in the hospital. Because I didn't hold back and was trained to fight at a young but thats also what made me a weapon in the eyes of the law they were terrified to fight me so they made it to were I can't fight without going to jail for attempt of murder though I had found waya arouns this law before when I've gotten into fights. But I also know my dad and know that no matter what I do I'm going to have to fight him in order to get my point across that I'm staying and I don't want anything to do with him or my mother.

This is the first time ive done somthing like this but would like the support of people going through similar things.

Im now 18 ive been self harming since i was 13, this is started when there was arguments at home i used to break perfume bottles to get somthing sharp so i could cut myself, social services decided to put me in care. this worked for a little while i then had to move out of my care home i then started drinking excessive amounts of alcohol and on many occasuans was hospitalised.

I moved around a lot (on my own) ive cut tops off fingers and say i was cooking tea, bit lumps out of my hands as there was nothing sharp around ive drank bleach, taken loads of anti biotics at once you name it its been done. Two days before my 17th birthday i admitted to myself i had a problem at this point everyone but me know i had a issue i was proscribed anti depressants i was on these for about a month till i decided i didnt want a tablet ruling my life. this really made me go down hill i was close to being refured to a mental health home.

Recently i got a boyfreind every thing was great to start with a little while in we started arguing and there was a little voice in my head telling me to cut myself i over came this many times about 3 months ago i started cutting and hurting on a regular basic and my boyfriend ends up finding out cause i wont get dressed infront of him we wont do anything in the bedroom department im basicly not myself. ive now moved 300 miles from my friends family everything i know so i can be with him.

What should I do? I want to cut, really bad. It helps me cope with things. But I know that whenever I cut, I'll either have to lie to my mom, or make my mom cry. Also, if I tell my mom the truth, she'll tell my dad. He'd freak out. I don't cut too often, just when I have those overwhelming feelings. You all know what those are. I guess things in my life are just complicated right now. I recently discoverd that I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), my school guidence councelor keeps talking to me and she kind of irritates me, I don't understand my religion at all and I'm not even sure if I believe in it (but I don't dare tell anyone that), and the first quarter of 8th grade is over and I still hate all of my teachers. Usually I hate my teachers, but by the first quarter I usually grow to like them. I guess this years different.

So I'm 15 and I have been cutting since I was 13, i managed to last a year without family or friends knowing but when I turned 14 my friends started to notice, same with my parents so I promised them I would stop hurting myself.
My only problem now is they wont stop bugging me about it. I got counselling ad I stopped cutting but it drove me crazy so i stopped going and every once in a while I carry on cutting but I don't want to tell my parents, how can I hide my fresh scars/cuts?
