Hey!
I will have a health check at school in the next month. I'm really scared because i don't know how to cover up my self harm scars. I think i could put a bandage on my arm and make up some excuse for it. But what if it won't work?
I know self harm is serious thing and you think my parents should know about it and bla bla bla but not in my case.
So could you guys give me some advices?
P.S I have stopped self harming.
About self harming?

The bandage thing may not work, as they might want to see it (and if you say it looks creepy, they still will) anyways. You probably don't want to use a bandage if they're just scars, because then (worst case scenario, probably over-thinking this) they might wonder why you have a bandage on scars. Scabs are a different story, yes, but I hope that they are not scabs or cuts, as that would mean that you only stopped recently. You may just want to go in and tell them that you got in a fight with a cat or something. I doubt this helped (I'm sort of pessimistic, sorry), but I hope it did!
well i've also dealt with the problem of trying to find a way to cover up scar or cuts. if they are recent, use neosporen A BUNCH put it on everytime you notice the cuts it will keep them moist and let them heal faster. But scars are tricky. if they are really noticeable i suggest buying a full coverage foundation at the drug store and put it on them, i hope this helps, and i'm glad you've stopped :) its hard to.
