know one knows

I have friends who have I think are interested in the idea of cutting. They keep watching videos on youtube called "emo kid cutting himself" once one wrote a poem about cutting and they only see it as a hardcore drama. Like they only see the movies like "thirteen" and think its cool. The poem one friend wrote about was so off about how it feels. I really don't think they cut themselfs cause when I hear them talking about it their idea's on what being a cutter is like is way off. I mean they are only interested in the attention seeking drama. And they talk about it like they undertand because "they read a poem about it'. I love my two best friends but they fact that they only see it as drama offends me. And they have no idea that while they're talking about these ideas a cutter is sitting right next to them. I can't blame them, they don''t know. No one knows why, when I hit my hip or thigh on the underside of the table and I cry out and walk off to the bathroom no one knows Im going to go make sure Im not going to start bleeding. A girl who I know cuts, we are not that close but we talk and hang out at school sometimes, she dosen't know why I understand (I told her I had a friend who cuts) she doesn't know that she's not alone and Im right there going though the same thing.My mom doesn't really know why I go to my room or the bathroom when im upset. My mom calls me down stairs while im cutting and she has no Idea what im doing. My mom and friends think I only like jeans and thats why they never see my legs. My brother walks in while im cutting my thigh and I pull a blanket over myself and he thinks Im masterbating. I know I don't want anyone to know but Im so sick of no one understanding that I just want to scream "Im cutting myself!" Just so someone knows and it doesn't have to be a secret, but I can't cause Im so scared. I just need someone who knows that I can talk to about it.

    I know how you feel none of my frendsor family know i cut, They all think i used to do it and it was just a phase. I dont see how they can think that the immense pain we go through to resort to cutting can just go away by itself.
    I hate it when people sit there talking about cutters as if they are attention seekers or when my mates say ooo look im emo and make slitting wrists actions. They dont understand why i get so angry when they do this.
    I know how all you want to do is scream out that youre a cutter and for evryone to understand and help but all people do is judge you and its sick.
    Im here to talk about this is u need me to be .

    I completely understand. My cousin and his friends are always joking about people who cut. They treat it like a joke and that the only reason they do it is for attention. They have no idea the pain that people who SI go through and why they do it. If one of them is acting sad or something they will joke around and say "can I get you a razor so you can just get it over with"
