Good excuses for cuts?

One of my friend is having an indoor pool party for their sweet 16, and i've recently gone through some hard times, and I cut my thigh because arm is too obvious, and I can't wear a bathing suit but I've already agreed to go, and I need an excuse in case she asks, I'm not just going to say, oh i cut myself.

Also, I know I need to stop, Im getting therapy, but i don't want everyone to know, so until the cuts fade i need an excuse…

Update:

Oh, and don't even say i'm doing for attention cause if you never have done it you wouldn't understand. And most people don't even do it for attention, but to relieve emotional pain.

    can you wear some shorts or something that would cover it? honestly, excuses for the thigh are hard to come by...it's just not a really easy place to hurt yourself accidentally. If you can think of any moderately believable story (climbing over something? cat/dog while getting ready for bed?) and stick to it, most peole will let it go, especially if you make as small a deal of it as possible. (e.g."It was stupid, I was just trying to get over the fence and...yeah. Not a big deal.")

    I think if you lie people will probably know you are, but if you want lies- I can supply them. [And yeah I know you can not really just tell someone to stop; so I won't do that] 1. Say you were itchy and you used a broken plastic hair brush to scratch your arm repeatedly in the same place. 2. Say they are not scratches, they are burns from cooking with a pan divider- and it fell hot on your arm. 3. Say you were just drawing on your arm- then take a pen and draw another straight horizontal line on your arm to match the others. 4. Wear arm-warmers. 5. Tell the truth: 'Oh, I used to have a depression problem but not anymore' when you use that excuse, people tend to believe you. I will try and think of more, but there you go for now. :] Hope I helped you in my own way.

    u were wearing shorts and cutting an apple on ur leg but the apple slipped and u cut urself.

    u cut urself shaving.

    (it really depends on how deep and long the cut is)

    u were cut by a crazy ex boyfriend who is now in jail.

    u slipped on some glass and it cut u.

    u could just wear a sundress or something and say u just got ur hair done or u u wanna tan or cant swim.

    u could also get one of the long bathing suits that are one piece and have like a litle skirt that goes to ur knees and swim with that.

    *good luck with ur party and getting help :)*

    I would often panic about the same things. I would wear shorts or a wrap when I'm swimming if I had to, instead of trying to come up with an excuse, because whatever excuse you can come up with, it never seems believable.

    PS. "I had sex with a porcupine"

    This all depends how bad/how many there are

    u could say:

    .Cat scratches/dog scratches

    . bumped my thigh on something realllyy sharp (a desk corner)

    .I fell on a bunch of rocks

    .i scraped it against a..tree? lol

    u can also try covering the cuts up with bandages that match ur skin, make up, ect.

    Were the cuts straight and perfect? if so, say a cat scratched you, (only if they can pass as cat scratches) .....If they are thick, say you scraped it on the sharp corner of a desk (Only if one leg has the scrape)

    You should not lie about it, just say you don't want to talk about it, lets just have some fun.
