Self harming&School?

    Hey, my school found out i self harmed because, well i think someone saw my cuts, i'm not sure. They told my parents. Social sevices were apparently called. And that's all i know. That was 2 weeks ago. I tried talking to my school about the social services thing because i'm scared, but they said they could not give me ANY information on it, and i'd have to talk to my parents. But i can't, for various reasons. I want to talk to school more, but they've rejected me basically. And i can't talk to my parents. Childline's good and all, but i need real life support too! If i told them more about my self harming, would they have to tell my parents because technically they already know? I don't know. They have a school counsellor they used to offer me to see before all this, but i didn't want to go to the school one to bo honest. What could i do?x

    hey

    If u told the school they probs would speak to ur parents but only to talk about ways of getting u help.  Alternativly, u could either ask ur parents to take u to the GP or go urself. They could get u in touch with counclling or therepy to help u. I have no idea why ur school called the social services but i'm sure whatever the reason is their main concern is ur safety ;)

    I don't know ur reasons for not talking to ur parents so i can't really say that u should defenatly talk to them but if u can please do coz its the only way to get help!!

    take care and i hope things do get better!

    This sounds like quite a difficult situation Emily. I think that if you were to go into more detail about the self-harming then it would be their obligation to inform your parents, but I think that is only to cover their backs. If they know anyway, then technically that shouldn't be a problem?

    You may want to tell your school how scared you are about the social services. I think it sounds unfair to have called them and then leave you in the dark, whilst your life could be changing. They do sound like they have been helpful in the past, but have failed you now?

    Is there a particular reason you don't want to see the school counsellor?

    Hey, thanks for replying.

    Well, I just find it awkward to talk to teachers. You know? Especially now. My head of year is kind of always busy and I find it hard to keep knocking on the staff room door because they take it in turns to answer the door and I know like all of them. They've all taught me. If that makes any sense. My head of year is my geography teacher. So she knows me quite well. Which makes it awkward. Oh, I don't know. I'm not sure exactly what I should say to her.

    I did tell my head of year that I was scared. And she sat there for a bit and just looked at me. So I just got stressed and walked away because I felt intimidated.

    Anyway, thanks again.
