I started last week and my parents don't care about what I do so they don't pay attention. I usually hide my cuts in gym by wearing a sweatshirt over my gym shirt. At my school we can wear jackets over our gym clothes, not sure about your school. I do clean off the knife. It's easy. After you cut your self ONCE, wash it off with HOT water.
My name is Gabrielle and I am twenty-eight years old. I began to self-injure at age fifteen -- so nearly thirteen years -- minus a two year period. This website was made to let self-injurers know that they are not alone and to help their friends and family learn more about self-injury and how it affects their loved one.
