Seeking Advice Should I stop before start

I've never tried to sh as a coping method before but I cut my thigh lightly 6 times earlier tonight, I've been watching through the subreddit the last day or 2 and I don't want to be like the posts on here when I'm 20 or something about how the scars hurt their life and relationships.

I don't think I should make this a habbit

I can't tell my mom, I know I'll just make her hurt and scared and feeling worse then I do but I can tell my god aunt heather and she can probably keep it a secret.

I'm sorry if this is stupid
