Depression: Tell your mother it is extremely important for you to go to the hospital as you are in danger. If she does not agree call your nearest hospital yourself and ask for the psychiatric unit and tell them how you are feeling and ask what you should do to be admitted. Also you could go to the er and ask for a psychological consultation as you are in danger. Do this as soon as possible. Best wishes.

Do they know what: You have been doing to yourself? If not tell them right away how you are feeling and that you are cutting yourself. Tell them you want help and want to go to a hospital. If they know and do not take action tell a guidance counselor at school asap or call your pediatrician and tell them what is happening. A hot line for teens like the samaritans will also help you get help.

GET YOURSELF THERE: Meds and therapy together are your best bet. Get a psychiatric evaluation for what ails you, and what cutting means to you as well as anything else that may be going on. Then get a referral to a reputable psychotherapist to help with the emotional issues behind cutting. DO THIS RIGHT NOW. TURN OFF YOUR COMPUTER AND GO TO YOUR LOCAL EMERGENCY ROOM OR DIAL 911 IMMEDIATELY.
