what happens now since the teachers know i self-harm?

I think these school "counselors" cause more harm than good.

Stop self-harming.

Find something else to do with your hands.

Like building things.

Or cooking a nice meal.

When you announce to the world you are weak, others will exploit you because they have nothing better to do.

A real, trained psychologist may ask you to practice mindful therapy, to get in tune with the here and now, rather than worry about the past of future, thereby harming yourself.

I bet this school counselor never even heard of mindful therapy. She'd probably refer to to a psychiatrist (psychologist with Medical degree) to push you to take anti-depressants, which makes one more depressed and suicidal.

Geez.....

Your vice critical, who will then touch your mothers and fathers. superb advice on your concern? understand that self injury is a symptom of something lots deeper. I understand which you would be in a concern to the place the touch of your mothers and fathers will do you extra injury than solid. if that's the case, pass to the workplace and tell them you have been feeling depressed and can certainly opt to speak to a counselor. All public and private colleges have a counselor who can coach you the way to alongside with your melancholy. basically submit to in techniques in case you tell them something approximately suicide or self-injury your mothers and fathers would be notified.

From what you have given me, you have experienced the 'Duty of Care' situation, where a counselor feels that you are in danger. Your school counselor will probably continue to encourage you to see you GP for a referral to a psychiatrist, but I believe they do not have the ability to force this upon you. Additionally, your counselor may have contacted other appropriate authorities for advice.

If your parents aren't willing to get you a referral for a psychiatrist, then it is possible that things will not progress further, other than the ongoing insistence from your school counselor to seek this referral.

any person who self harms needs help, young or old, i hope youre not doing this because you consider yourself "emo" because not all emos self harm and not all self harmers are emo, and its not cool just because your "emo" or non-emo friends are doing it, its a serious thing that people do before they even heard of what emo was! get help, take it under control, help yourself, your parents love you and theyll offer help.

ps

its not exactly okay to self harm, you can be the next einstein and cut, but it just shows that youre intelligence and your need to self harm are two separate things, and each needs attention and care.

It's good that your counselor knows. She can help you.

I was "told on" by some concerned teachers to my counselor a few years ago, but I denied everything and convinced him and my parents that I was fine. Things ended up getting much worse because I didn't get help when I could have.

It's hard, I know, but accept the hands that are reaching out to you and get help.

How about you STOP doing it! You teens think your life is soo hard. Well your gonna get a wake up call in about 5 years and you'll see how hard it is. But you just have to deal with it. I mean really? What does hurting self accomplish? It doesnt settle your problems. So maybe its time to see what your doing, and just stop!

Hopefully she will help you find someone to talk to - other people who are going through what you are going through, or people who have been through it.

These people should not yell at you, but more listen and understand. Who have been in pain too.

I hope you can find someone who hears you. And I truly hope you find a way to not harm yourself anymore. You are worth so much more.

I would go to my college classes with cuts all over my arms and proved everyone wrong by showing my intelligence and creativity. You are human and it is sometimes ok to self harm.

Hi honey, don't be scared, okay? Honestly they just all want to help you! It's okay, every kid has their issues! That's what adults are for, to help you figure out solutions to them. And, sometimes.. you can use your issues to help others, that's all.
