Well I told my dad about it. He in turn told my mom who did in fact want to put me away. But my dad has been supportive and convinced her not to. Him and I are now searching for a good therapist and I have joined a self-help group. I'm taking the steps necessary to end this horrible habit. My mom thinks I'm crazy, but oh well...
It's nice that you were able to tell your parents about this problem, rather than get caught like I did...several times. It is also good that you are willing to end this problem yourself, because most of the time the biggest problem with quitting is that you just don't want to. One word of advice I just want to give is embrace your therapy, because it will only be useful to you if you make it so. I've been through a couple of them, and it always ended with my lying about being recovered and going right back into my self-destructive ways. And even if you do get better, which by the sounds of it it seems very likely you will, remember that this is a lifelong struggle. How big of a struggle it is depends on you. I wish you the best of luck and I hope you no longer feel the need to do such things.
IIN that I'm afraid to tell my parents that I cut because of my mom?

Good for you and that you knew who to go to.
