Teacher help: my teacher saw my cutter scars on my hand. - Help.com

tell him you where doing some work around the place and got cut, he can’t prove otherwhise.

To be frank, if you tell him the truth, he’s going to force you to get help, and through school, that’s not something you want to go through. They’ll force you to go to the school guidance counselor, and possibly bar you from school until you get medical help. Yes, it can happen, and yes, it has.

dont tell the truth…he will just get you into trouble.

and it sux

Well i dunno how it works in the USA but in the uk if you told a teacher he wouldnt get your bared from school because thats moronic, he would give you some advice (a friend of mine had a similar problem with cutting and they did this) and its up to you how to act upon the advice.

sad… :’(

same over here, tell your perants too

Yeah, I think it’s best for you to tell him. Or at least let the school know. If you feel you cant talk to him about it (I know it can be hard) then ask a close friend or parents to talk with them about it. Don’t just brush it off, you really do need to talk to someone. Like has been mentioned earlier, it’s also a good idea to talk to your parents about this if you haven’t already. Telling someone really does make a difference, and so does counselling or even talking with a doctor… don’t suffer in silence. That’s what friends and family are there for, to help you out when you need it :)

Well even if it means little, i believe you and im sorry you were raped, truely i am really sorry, but thats all i can do:(

I was about to say not to tell him because he might tell your family. But if thats how they reacted, I’d tell everyone i could, police and teachers.

i earlier said dont tell, but now i think you should.

i’m sorry too. but you can’t just hope it will go away. and there’s always someone willing to listen and help, even if it’s just us.

talk to the school, they should understand and be able to help. okay, your family might laugh, but don’t you think they’d realise now, if you tell them you’ve started cutting, how serious it was?

you clearly need help (not in a bad way) so please.. talk to someone. they can help. You’ve only got one shot at life, after that there is no ‘undo’ button to press. I’ve said enough now, your turn to do something about it.

Phoenix, if your famly just laughed at you and didn’t believe you and your friends think you’re crazy and this is bothering you to this extent, I think that you should tell someone you feel as though you can trust. Maybe telling the teacher would be a bad idea, but there has to be someone you can talk to over this. Cutting isn’t the answer.

I don’t mean to sound rude, but did you miss the ‘family just laughed at you and friends think you’re crazy’ and ‘i have no one’ part?

If she’s willing to jump through the hoops, you can get help through school, and at this point, it seems better than nothing, but she will have to confront her family about it eventually anyway, so she may simply consider just starting there.

Your family. Because as I said, the school /could/ help, but in the end, it’ll still end up there anyway. The school won’t exactly bypass your family and go to the police or anything. Chances are, telling your family is one of the first things they WILL do.

Right… my apologies. Not what I meant. I’m just not sure how far the school will go if your family doesn’t believe you. I don’t see why they wouldn’t go to the police if your family doesn’t believe you. I’m just not sure how much they’ll do if they deny it.

To be frank, the fact that your family doesn’t believe you sounds even more disturbing than the act itself. I’m very sorry.

And even if they burned you, too, you’re a Phoenix…
