Should i tell my parents
Ive been self harming not regularly but off and on nothing deep but i don’t know if it is smt i should tell my mom or dad im not very sure ok how they would react any advice?
@maddiedavidson if they are not supportive they might criticize you for that and ruin your mental health even more.. but if you feel they are supportive and usually do show empathy towards you, then you can go with it.

Many time in life we do not know how people will react .... so we avoid it... We all should try to address things sooner then later.
Most all situations in my life when I had to tell someone something uncomfortable in my experience it never went as badly as I had imagined. Of course there are other outcomes but you will not know until you do.
I will tell you MOST parents responds better if included early and not find out years down the road or if harm ends up causing health issues or worse.
My parents have always kinda talked about how ridicules it is that ao dose that and its pathetic and i am scared if i tell them they will blame it on media and take my phone

I can only say as a parent myself that we often have mistaken thoughts about situations and then when it is OUR family we see that we made judgement that no longer makes sense.
I have seen people change their minds about many things when it hits close to home or a person they know and love.
As someone who told their parents about doing self harm a few days ago you should. It’s better to tell someone about this than keeping it to yourself. You will feel calm and at least there will be someone to comfort you and that is your own parents. Good luck :)
They have seemingly never been supportive over mental health stuff i am scared i will get in to trouble if i tell them and theu def would take my phone yk?
I think it all depends in how your parents are when my mom found out the first time she got really really mad and it made it worse. But for others their parents find them help and get them support.
