Wear something that has long sleeves.

don't worry about that..best thing that could happen is that someone sees them and gets you help
-
You dont. Show it to your parents, best friend, anyone you can trust and talk about what's up with you. You need professional help if you are referring to yourself. Self-harming hides a much deeper pain. I know such pain but I didnt use a knife to self-harm I used alcohol and drugs instead. Talk to some-one and share the load. All the best. Cheers

i always have my arms covered. not too much fun.

i used to wear arm warmers or loads of bracelts or long sleves. i got mine from the market =S

when i first started cutting i did it on my arms, at first i covered them with band-aids, and if any one asked what happened i'd lie and say the cat or something scratched me--then i started doing it on my upper legs where my clothes covered it--not to long ago i started burning myself with cigarettes--first on my hand--said grease popped on me--then during a really bad time in my life i burned myself multiple times on my upper arm--now i don't try to hide it--ive lived in shame my whole life---and ive decided im notgoing to do it anymore--i am who i am--and if others don't like it i just don't care anymore-----no im not proud of it--but no on knows what kind of life ive had and the hell ive been through

I usually ware long sleeves and/or arm warmers, but then again I sometimes don't do anything to cover them and no one seems to care or they just brush it off..... also I find that people believe me more if I say I'm not sure exactly what scratched me.
-
Well, I don't anymore. I used to, I did for several years. Then, I wore long sleeves, wrist bands, bracelets, long pants. Anything and everything to keep them covered. Then I realized that people didn't really care, and I stopped caring about what everyone else thought. I don't hide them anymore. they're a part of me. People should understand that.

Simple, I dont cut my arms.

Look, Self harm is not the way to go when there´s a problem of any kind. Go to your parents or an adult you trust and you feel understands you and tell him/her. They will try to help you. DONT HIDE THEM. SMILE

You're addicted to endorphins. Better get some professional help.

Long sleeves, wristbands, arm bands, chunky bracelets all work quite well. The best thing I've found though, ironically, is a support bandage. People will then quite happily accept a 'sprained my wrist' excuse without reading into it. Don't wear skirts/dresses, or if you do, make sure you have thick enough tights/stockings to cover the scars. You can get make-up that's specially designed to cover them, but it's expensive. Remember if you're wearing a loose-sleeved top or like a 'flowy' sleeve, to wear something flush against the skin beneath, otherwise everytime you move your arm... you get the idea.

WITH CLOTHS MOST PEOPE DON'T CARE ENOUGH TO EVEN SAY ANYTHING EVEN THE ONES YOU LIVE WITH

I just wear long sleeved shirts & if it's too hot to wear those I wear an arm band that I made. If you are self harming though you should tell someone. It's ok to hide your cuts but it's not ok to deprive yourself of help that you obviously need. I learned that from experience.
-
i cut near the joint of my arm so i can wear 3 quater length tops, i used to wear long sleeves but with my history i get questioned if i wear long sleeves
-
I used to wear long sleeved tops, but in hotter weather, it was a real problem! Now, I wear what I want to, if ppl stare n point so be it. Ppl shouldn't judge you for what you do/have done. NOONE knows what sort of life others have had/things they have had to deal with or live thru. Your scars are a sign that you have survived a bad time.
