    The question here is do you really want to be put in an institution? i know i wouldn't want that maybe that's why you are so scared. But if you really want to go if you think theres no other way then talk to them stay calmed it wont be easy for your grandparents to learn you cut so be patient they might even get mad i know from experience but be patient they wont be mad at you but mad at the behavior so just talk to them and hope for the best.

    Now you dont have to go to an institution you can find help while living in your house the thing is that you can stop cutting as long as you want to stop you might need therapy and maybe medication too, it might take a while for you to find a psychologist that you feel comfortable with but i think its worth it and the best way to go its not as stressful i guess.

    Best of luck and i hope you get a much needed help.

    if you're tough enough to cut yourself, you're tough enough to talk about it. what you're doing right now, talking about it to strangers, is a first step. figure out why you're scared to talk to someone you know. are you afraid of their judgement of you? are you afraid they will judge themselves? be prepared, really looking at your fears takes some courage.
