My mum is cutting herself?
I need help and I don't know who to tell this to because I never thought I would see this happening to my mother but today I saw her legs with horizontal marks that looked like fresh cuts and i asked her what happened but she simply responded with "what are you talking about?" and then I remembered how recently she's been spending so much time alone and I don't know what to do or who to tell this to

You can print this out for her: ..................
Self harm is a symptom of depression. It means your brain is not producing sufficient serotonin. Depression is common but easy to treat. So tell a dr. how you feel and ask for an antidepressant.-------
The one that worked best for me was Sertraline. It takes 2-3 wks for your body to adjust to it during which time you will have trouble staying asleep. But, after that, you will become a relaxed, confident, healthy person.------------------------
Find some big happy churches, attend age-appropriate groups there and have fun. Talk with the pastor/minister. A good one can show you how to have perfect peace. And where else can you get counseling for FREE? Remember, God loves you more than you can possibly imagine.

Report her to APS, tell a teacher, or convince her to see a therapist.

There may not be much you can do unfortunately.
Go online and find the phone numbers for cutting hotlines. Call them when you won't be overheard or interrupted. Even though you are not the one cutting, they may be able to help you figure out good strategies to help your mom.
