No, Darling, my blood will not get in the pool because I’m not cutting myself and jumping in. By the time its swim CLASS (I’m still in school, not on a team) it’s scabby. And as for telling them I cut myself? Yeah, that would be smart. Hey, Egh, how did you get that long cut on your arm? Oh, don’t worry; I was mad so I cut myself. Nothing for you to worry about Babe. NOT! They’d tell a f---ing counselor.
And can I ask why you keep saying We? Is there another person, or do you enjoy referring to yourself in plural?

Scabs are coagulated blood, and water is the strongest erosive force on the planet. Heh.

As for the "we", I meant "I". Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. Also, the whole "simply tell them" thing sounded much better when I discussed it with myself. Heh heh. . . . As for a real excuse, you could try something along the lines of "I was juggling knives to impress a friend/boyfriend when I realized I didn't know how to juggle." I've been told that would probably work by a most trusted source. :D

If they continue pestering you about it, tell them, "It was just an accident," and they "should think nothing of it. It'll heal, eventually."

Also, you could tell them to piss off, to mind their own business, or that it isn't important, and simply leave it at that.

I’m thinking of maybe saying something along the lines of ‘I had my arm on a picnic table and I pulled away quickly but I didn’t notice that there was a nail there and it just—ouch, I don’t really want to talk about it’ or should I just say something like, ’oh, I don’t know man, I was just sitting on my bed and I noticed it, I have no idea where it came from’. It’s quite understandable, I am really clumsy. But I feel like if I were to say something all elaborate, it would sound fake. What do you think?

WeI agree that something too elaborate or specific would totally sound like a lie, but as long as you don't panic while talking about it, and don't elaborate too far into it, you should be fine.

Alternatively, when someone mentions it for the first time, you could pretend like you didn't even know it was there and act like you're just noticing it for the first time, and go along with that. Again, though, don't exaggerate too much, or they will probably get all suspicious. I would, anyway. And I'm not sure how often you randomly sit at a picnic table with nails sticking out that are sharp enough to give a wound such as that (and in such an odd place), but I, for one, totally wouldn't believe you. Besides, if others knew you had intentionally cut yourself at one point, we wouldI would think it to be awfully suspicious that you just so happened to have been sitting at a picnic table with sharp nails and had some reason to quickly get up.

But, yes, saying you're noticing it for the first time, as well, when someone points it out in public would be a solid plan. Saying something like, "Oh, weird. I didn't see that there yesterday. . . . Well, whatever." and leaving it at that would be good enough, I would say. Just don't get too into the lie, though.

I did mean it.
Feel good about yourself, you just helped a 15 year old girl get out of some awkward questions.

I suppose, if you see awkward moments as bad things, I should feel good about helping you out of the situation. (I, for two, derive some type of sick joy out of many awkward situations, most of which I'm usually the cause, but that's just usme. Heh.) As We think about it, I suppose this could be one of the many reasons We cut myself. When people see my scars, scabs, and cuts for the first time, the awkward moments thereafter somehow excite me.

If you truly appreciate my helping you, regardless of the situation, then I shall accrue slightly more of my pseudo-happiness because of it. As I said before, you're welcome. ^-^

You cut because you like the way people react to it when they see your cuts? That’s quite interesting. Only one person (besides my mom) has ever seen one of my cuts and straight up asked me if I cut myself, and it was TERRIBLE. But I guess it’s alright, since we’re like, best friends now.
What do you usually say when people ask you what that is? ‘I cut myself. Hey, wanna go get some soda?’

. . . Wow, I talk too much. Heh.

Back to the point of this thread: The cuts I just stuck a ruler in to measure are about one to two millimeters deep, and they're on my chest. With thin skin, I realize my chest isn't the smartest place to cut myself, since I'm now bleeding pretty badly, but--well, I thought too quickly and have now forgotten the rest of what I was going to say. Whatever the case, We would like to read more posts about people, the way they cut, maybe even some stories, and all that other stuff, so please continue posting!

Ah, well, I cut myself because I'm a masochist, and because--and this may seem somewhat crazy, but just go with it--I've been told by myself that I enjoy it, which I do. The reactions people give me are just an added bonus. Heh.

The most common response would have to be, "What the Hell happened?!", to which I either respond something absurd, such as, "I was pretending to play 'Ice Skating' on my stomach, and the participants just so happened to be razors," or I simply tell them, "I cut myself." In both scenarios, the reactions stir up some kind of good feeling inside of me; although, we're not too sure what it really means.

I'm sorry if it seemed like we were avoiding your question, but, as I said, I'm bleeding a fair amount of blood at the moment, so I'm not quite thinking or typing as well as we would normally be. (I'm fine, though, so there is no need to look into it any further.)

Well, that’s perfectly understandable.
Hey, Cinerhpozihcs, I like you. Good job.

Well, we're sorry to have made you feel that way. I We aren't a good people, really, and if you got that impression, it wasn't my intention to make it seem as such. I'm not sure what I did to deserve your kindness, but you're welcome, I suppose. Just don't misinterpret my objectives, as they probably aren't what people may think. We hope you no longer like us. ^-^
