Stopping cutting

No matter how much cutting helps me, it also makes me worse. It leaves scars on my body that people ask about, and I have to come up with a story. I have to deal with hiding it from everyone, which isn't always an easy thing to do. I know that if I do stop, I will have to face the urge to cut again for the rest of my life. Cutting does help relieve yourself for a few minutes everytime you do it, but the pain you felt before comes right back. I want to stop cutting, for me and the ones I love. My parents and family are the ones who make me want to cut, so I turned to my teacher that I am extremely close to. I need help to stop, I can't do it on my own.
