Hey, Gareth!

Ugh... Parents, huh? This must be pretty hard for you. Something I wanted to add, even though the way they treat these issues must be really frustrating for you, they still believe they're doing things right in their eyes. I mean, they probably don't understand self-harm too well so they think they're doing the best job helping you. As for them ignoring it sometimes, I've found out with experience that it means they care. Because it hurts them to think or hear of you doing something like that to yourself. Nonetheless, you deserve to have support from them.

Have you ever sit down with them and tried to explain self-harm, and explain how their reactions make you feel? You aren't alone, and you always have support from your wonderful girlfriend and me! Including the rest of us at TeenHelp.
