You could just tell them you have something to show them and show them your cuts/burns etc, or write them an email or letter.

No offense or anything but i really don't think its a good idea to show other people what you have done to yourself as a way of telling them you self harm. It will more than likely just be upsetting to the person and im guessing thats not what you want...

To start with you could just ask them person if you can talk to them or say "there is something I want to tell you". They will be able to tell from that that there is something serious you wanna talk about.... then I suppose you just have to take it from there. It's up to you how you tell them and i think it should be natural, what you say, rather than something you have planned and rehearsed. Remember; there is no right or wrong way of telling someone. You just gotta do whats right for you....

Good luck!
