Whickillagilm, congrats!! Welcome to Fatherhood. Happy parenting!

@TheCalliton: Do your parents (or at least your mom) know about your girlfriend? Is your girlfriend on friendly/talking terms with your family? If not, you should have told your mom about your girl. This might not be the right time to broach the subject, but you should not keep your girlfriend hidden, especially if you are seriously like her. By talking to one of your parents about her (whichever parent you are closer to; I am guessing it is your mom), you actually give some weightage to your relationship with your girl. You send her a message that you want her to be an important part of your life, and whatever problems you have now will be solved, if you can have her reassuring presence in your life. I know you are young, and relationships at this age are fragile, but still a bit of reassurance always helps to strengthen the bond and solidify the trust. If you mom already know your girlfriend, then ask her to call up and talk to your mom. Let her tell you mom that you have serious problems, and that she (your GF) is concerned about you, that she's afraid you will injure yourself or do something drastic. If you yourself try to tell your concerns to your family, you might not explain it well, or it might peter out into the same old ping-pong talk and continued apathy towards you. But a concerned update from your girlfriend (or even any other well-wisher, like a school counselor), will make a huge difference. This kind of jolt coming from a third party, can awaken the parental instincts of your family, and even if they accost you and scold you, it will be out of fear of losing you, rather than real rage. Then the matters will improve, and your girl will also be closer to the family, and she too will feel comforted that you have the support of your family now. A school counselor or elder family relative can assess and explain things better to your family, but I know some people don't like it if others intrude into their private matters. But the way, why are you cutting yourself for? You really think this is the end of the world? Worst night? LOL, dude, you have no idea how much better your life is compared to many other youngsters like you. You are not disabled (I hope not), you have enough brains, you are charming enough to get a girlfriend (even I don't have one!!!), you still have both parents to support you (just try to improve relationship with them), so just get a grip on yourself and start improving your life! All the best! :thumbsup:
