My advice is to be very careful, a few years ago i cut my own fringe, and well yeah i regretted it a LOT. Way too high and far back, but it grew back like it does. Don't cut straight across your fringe, cup upwards, if you get me? Turn the scissors vertical and cut the amount you want to off, this way you can't go wrong or wonky or weird(:<br><b>References : </b><br>me, my hair(: The scissors you use don’t matter, your hair won’t fall out.

That's a good sign. You definitely need professional help, there is no doubt about that. You have got to learn to love yourself and learn to cope with stress in life. I do not judge you in any way because of your age. What a 13 year old feels when depressed is no different than what a 30 year old feels when depressed. Depression hurts at any age. As far as your cutting is concerned. There is treatment for that as well. You just need to see a mental health professional right away. The marks you make on your body will be with you for a lifetime. You don't want that, I promise! If you don't feel comfortable approaching your parents, ask your school counselor for some help. I'm sorry you're hurting and hope you get better soon. I am going to include a website that might help you find the courage to get some help. God Bless you!<br><b>References : </b><br>http://www.teenlineonline.com/newsevents.asp?item=news&id=11 The fact that you took the time to type this message tells me that you don’t want to live life this way anymore.

Yes! You definitely need professional help, and as quickly as possible. As for how to ask your parents about it... Well, there are several strategies you could use. You could see your school counsellor, who can give you some advice and could also call your parents on your behalf to talk about things. Given your concerns, they should be reporting what's going on as you could be in some danger. The other option is to go straight to your parents. You haven't talked about your relationship with them, but there isn't always an easy way to talk about mental health. You might need to just come out and tell them, and show them the marks from the razor blades if they don't believe you. On the other hand, perhaps they're understanding of mental health, in which case just tell them about how you've been feeling and ask them for help. There are also childrens help lines in most countries that are either free or very cheap. It could be a good idea to call one. Regardless of what you do, please gain some professional help. The concerns you've raised sound quite real and can be quite serious and it seems like you need some assistance in learning more adaptive ways to cope with your fears or worries than the strategies you have been using.<br><b>References : </b><br>I have a psych degree Self-harming, possible alcohol addiction, binging and purging, and thoughts of overdosing?

The main thing you need to be careful of when trimming fringe, is not to trim too much off. Fringe will tend to "pop up" when trimmed, and appear shorter than you might have intended. Always start by trimming less than you think you need to. You can always go back and trim more if you need to, but if you trim off too much to start with, then you have to wait for it to grow out. What I would do, is when you go to the hairdresser to have the initial haircut, ask him/her to show you what to do if you need to trim your fringe between haircuts. (Oh...and I would spring for a decent pair of haircutting scissors. Regular ones aren't designed for that, and generally won't do as nice a job as scissors that ARE designed for cutting hair.)<br><b>References : </b><br> Your hair won’t "fall out".

If you have a store that sells hair cutting scissors, you can get them there for like $12 (not sure how much in other currency, but not a lot). Normal scissors make it harder to cut your hair, they're just not designed right, and it's easier to mess up using them. You can also look into using a hair razor, it's really easy to cut your own bangs with one of those.<br><b>References : </b><br> I cut my own hair.

They keep cutting and cutting so that is why you have so much hair being cut off. When you trim your ends, you are only supposed to trim off 1/8th or 1/4th inch of your hair. You need to watch videos on Youtube and learn to do it yourself because stylist love cutting off our progress.<br><b>References : </b><br> Well actually, you are going to "scissor happy" stylist.

Why ditch the healthy hair? Be sure to use a really good conditioner every day. I'm sure you know that split ends result because the oil from your scalp cannot migrate down the length of your hair shaft before your next shampoo if your hair is very long. The ends get dried out and split easily. If you use a good conditioner, especially on the ends, it should protect your hair and prevent damage.<br><b>References : </b><br> Your solution seems fine to me. Why ditch the healthy hair?
