Re: Do teachers have to report self harm to parents if you're over 18? - January 29th 2015, 04:30 PM

Hey there,

First of all I'm really sorry you're going through this, it must be difficult for you!
To answer your question, no, as soon as you turn 18 he can't legally tell them. I can however report you to other people depending on how much of a risk he thinks you are to yourself. Usually colleges have some form of support system too.
If you are worried ask him if he's going to tell anyone, legally though he would have to report it if he thought that you were a danger to yourself or others. It's really great that you have someone to talk to though.

If you ever want/need to talk, feel free to PM me.
Take care and stay strong,

Charli x
