If your a cutter, can anyone send you off, forcably?!
Question: If your a cutter, can anyone send you off, forcably.?
At school they have be threatening me, saying they were going to send me off. Cutting is a habbit to me. I have to do it constantly. I go crazy if I don't. They searched me the other day though and found the cuts on both my arms, legs, ankles, and shoulders. They say I need help and they want to send me to a mental institution. Can they do that.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
No. They have to have your parent's consent, I think. So, tell your mom. She'll probably be a lot more supportive than you might think. Though, she might suggest counseling. Counseling is one of the best things ever, don't freak out.
And, who is "They".? Is it kids at school, teachers, what.?
As far as the issue of cutting, try to be careful. Avoid cutting near your neck since you can die in like 30 seconds if there's a slip, whereas cutting to deep on your wrists takes several hours for you to bleed out (If I'm not mistake, which I might be.) And don't cut when you're home alone, because then if you cut too deep you won't be able to find help as fast. Don't use dirty blades, don't share blades with anyone. Keep your cuts clean, too.Health Question & Answer

they WANT to send you to a mental institution... It's your gardians choice, unless you are over 18 then you don't have to do anything they say... I would suggest not hurting yourself though... is it to "take the pain away" im not trying to... call you out or whatever you want to say, i may not understand what you are going through, but apparently its not so good.. Just try to calm down for awhile, ok.?Health Question & Answer
Stop it!! Tell your parents to get you some help or else your school could get child protective services involved.Health Question & Answer
