I accidentally cut myself, but my mom's going to think I did it on purpose. Can someone help me?
I used to cut (as in a few months ago) but only very little. I mean, I barely ripped the skin. It was very minor and not a big deal. However, my mom managed to find out one day, and she's been on my case about it ever since. She broke down crying when she found out, and now whenever I accidentally cut myself shaving, she accuses me of doing it intentionally. I've been fine for a while. I haven't cut at all, and I've been REALLY careful shaving. Nevertheless, I managed to cut myself big time today. It wasn't intentional--not at all, but while I was shaving, the razor sort of slid to the side, and now I have a huge cut the size of Asia on my ankle. It won't stop bleeding. If my mom sees it, she's going to go crazy. She won't let me go to camp this summer, and she'll never stop crying. I need a way to make sure she never sees it, but it's going to be hard. The cut is pretty big. Any suggestions? PLEASE help!!!

If you try covering it up it may look as if you did it intentionally. If it was an accident don't try to hide it and if she asks, just tell her the same thing you put in your explanation. If you continue to hide accidental cuts and scars she may not start to trust you again.
If you really want to cover it up (which is what I wouldn't suggest) just wear jeans/pants or ankle socks with your shoes.
You should talk with your mother about this and ensure her that you do not have this problem anymore. Having a calm conversation about your cutting in the past and how much you have changed now can help the both of you.
I hope this helps a little bit and I am glad you don't cut anymore. Stay strong!

If It Wont Stop Bleeding Then I Would Say To Ask Your Mom For Help, If You Were Actually Cutting Yourself Than You Would Never Tell Your Mother, and It Probably Wont Be In The Ankle, Be Honest, Go To Her For Help.

Just tell your mom the truth. I'm a mom and love my kids so much that yes if they hurt themselves on purpose I'd cry too.
Your mom sounds like she loves you too. She can also tell if your lieing or not. Mom's have that special gift. So just tell her so she can get it disinfected and put a bandade on it or something. If you start being open and honest with your mom she'll trust you more and you'll start to trust her too. I don't know why you started cutting yourself in the first plase, but I hope you can talk to your mom about that too. Oh and maybe instead of a razor you can try some nair next time so their won't be any more instenses.

well if you lied to your mom or at least didnt tell her then it will be hard to gain her trust back. but if you stop hiding things from her and start telling the truth then she will be able to trust you again so start with this and just tell her that your razor slid and cut you. it wasnt on purpose and you dont have any reason to start cutting again. ask her if she knows how to make it stop bleeding and i am pretty sure she will understand.

First of all, cutting is a big deal. I know ur stopping so good. Tell you mom everything before she finds out or it will look like you have something to hide. Apologize for past actions, ask forgiveness, promise to stop, and reassure her it was accidental. (If you are really cutting yourself, please stop).

Yeah tell the truth. If you hide the cut and then she finds out you will never be able to convince her, but if you talk to her about it straight up you will have a better chance.

well first thing is u probably didnt do it on accident next thing is how do u suck so bad at shaving and the third thing is if it was an accident then just tell her straight up "ey ***** i accidentaly cut my ankel so can u take care of it and let me go to camp,(if she says it was on purpose say) :***** let me go to camp now or ima cut my wrist right here right now!!!) and everything will be ok..... but one thing i did once was cut my wrist on accident and it looked really on purpose so i just took red marker/pen and made the skin around it look fake and it blended in realy good, dont know if you can do that to your leg though... good luck

Get your mother to look at it. Sounds like you need to go to the hospital. Hiding it makes it seem like you did it on purpose, but if you tell her the truth then she is more likely to believe you.

sit her down and tell her how that was your past and it was a mistake and you dont try to anymore and dont want to. And how it was an accident and even show her this if you want. Just to make her understand how she is overreacting. be honest and straight-forward. she is more likely to believe you.
hope that helps =/
sorry
