Hi!

A friend recently went to a teacher and told her I self harm. The teacher passed this on to the pastoral care manager, who is going to call my parents on Monday. I'm really freaking out because I'm scared they'll make me stop. I know it's bad, there are better coping mechanisms etc etc, but at the moment it's the only thing that helps me after my sexual assault. I don't do it all the time - only when I need to convince myself that he is not there, his hands aren't touching me, what he said to me wasn't true etc

Have you (or a friend) ever told a teacher? What happened? Do your parents know (if so, how did they react)?
