i know, i know, TRUST me, but the first month or so is the hardest, and afterwards it gets easier. it's so much easier when you have a support system

No problem, sweetie! And even if you can't find those people in real life, remember that there are tons of TH members who will always be your support system, okay? <3

Hmmm... well the best advice I can give is to get support system. Find some trustworthy friends who you can confide in and rely on if you need to call them. Basically, when you get the urge, you call/text one of them and talk through your feelings with them until the urge has passed. That's really what helped me the most.

For me, it was a mixture of my friends' support (I called them every time I got an urge and talked to them until it went away), me not wanting my parents to find out (and running out of hideable spots), and some words my director told me. She found out, and she said "You are better than that. You are talented, beautiful, intelligent, you have so many friends, and you have a good head on your shoulders. How do you feel when your friends hurt themselves (because she knew of a kid I'm friends with who SHed)? That's how they feel when they hear about you doing it. We want you to love you as much as we love you." Those words really stuck with me, and they're true. But it's different for each person. One of my friends used the rubber band technique (which I'm sure you've heard of), and it really worked for him - he's been SH free for 5 months!

thats good
