Don't want them to find out

TW - sh

I'm not sure how long I've been doing it, but probably since 2019.

My parents didn't find out until 2021. They still think that's when it started.

My scars are on my upper thighs and shoulders where I can hide them easily, but I use my hand to test the sharpness of my blade. I usually use my thumb, but the last time I have, I used the back of my hand in which my dad saw, and now I'm worried about others, especially teachers knowing what it is and reporting it to some place. I bought some makeup from a store to cover them up, but the scab is still visible. It's been a few days, does anyone have tips to hiding them better until they go away?

*I started the butterfly project after this, and combined with my OCD, I just get terrified of hurting the butterflies*

I also want some advice on my shoulder scars. They are raised, is there anything you guys use to flatten them or make them just go away? (I've been using equate scar gel with no results).
