You would want to sit them down and let them know that you've been feeling stressed/depressed lately, and you're not handling it well. Let them know before you start that you need to get things off your chest and please don't interrupt you until you're finished....then let them know that you've been cutting yourself and show them the scars...your parents should want to get you help and talk to you about the problems in your life. Good luck.

The fact that you are self-harming suggests you have inner pain and maybe anger you can't express. When you say that you can't think how to tell your parents this makes me think you are pretty isolated in your family for some reason. What you are doing is self-abuse and a cry for help. Please, ask a trusted professional, a teacher? College tutor or counsellor? The parent of a good friend or a relative, maybe? - ask them to tell your parents what's been happening to you. If you neglect what is a real probelm for yourself you may find it gets worse as you get older. You deserve better from your life and owe it to yourself to break free from this terrible compulsion to harm yourself. You might be surprised to find that your parents care more than you think, they should not be angry. Good luck! Be brave. X

You say you have scars; does this mean that you used to cut yourself, and now you've stopped? If that's the case, then you need to sit down and be honest with your partner about your past. If it's something current, then you also need to tell your partner the whole truth- why you do it, what causes you to do it. If this is something current, you do need to get some help in stopping. I say this as someone who also once cut himself- it's hard to show what you've done, it's hard to admit you need help. Yet, at the same time, you have to do it to stop. Your partner, I hope, will be the first step in getting help.

BEFORE the trip, you have got to level with your mother. she will be shocked, but she will understand. More than likely, your trip will be cancelled. its better to tell her now, than ruin the trip for everyone. this is what will happen. r mom cares more for your well-being, than a trip. I promise you this is true.

Well, you could... Not... Cut yourself. I think would be a good start. And before anyone says "You don't know what it's like emo emo" Yeah, I do, I'm married to an ex-cutter.

Tell them straight and why. one of my friends was self haming and ended up slashing a razor across her arm numerous times she had to tell her parent because of bad bleeding but now the reasons are clear, the cyberbullying has stopped, she has stoped and is now coping well!

Honestly there is no easy way to tell them. Your just going to have to sit them down and straight up tell them. They wil probably make you go to therapy they might even make you go stay somewhere. Which actually might benefit you.

sit them down, and explain your situation. when i told my parents, it was the hardest thing id ever done, i had my two bestfriends with me there to for support, and to help me try and explain the situation, yes there was tears, some screaming, but not out of anger. they will be upset at first, but they will just be glad that you told them. i hid it for 4 years, it was such a relief to have it off my back when i finally came out and told them, now this summer i can just relax and not worry, everyone has been so good to me, they understand and they just want to help. dont be scared. it will be hard though, i sat there for a good 20 minutes just crying infront of my parents, because i couldnt even find the strength in me to say it to them. but you'll be okay.
