I used to cut when I was about 14, I am 21 now and done with it. Its summer now so when I get tan they show up more and for me its more like I don't want my family to see and think anything because I never told them (except my older brother who was a complete jerk about it). Just like someone who may have tell-tale physical signs of drug or alcohol abuse, you don't want to be judged for something that carries such a stigma when you've already moved on from it. I just make up stories if anyone asks, because you don't have to tell everyone about your most personal struggles, you can choose who you tell those things to.
Is it normal insanely insecure of my 'emo' scars
