if your comfortable, vaguely, could you share anything that might be wrong? parents, friends adhd depression??. if your not comfortable sharing that's okay, it really depends your age and state. but if you don't feel comfortable telling parents then talk to staff. it really depends where you are.

Well, what you want to do NOT hurt yourself because you will ACTUALLY END UP in a mental facility like how I did three times

okay, if you let staff know at your local mental hospital that you have been harming yourself, they pretty much just let you in. for my area they do at least lol.

Ive been in a ward twice and the quickest way is to express your concern for your saftey to ur guardian that you trust or school or police and they can send you. Take care of yourself please.

Stewart · Answer

here's actually why: In many states, a minor can't admit themselves to a mental hospital without parental or guardian consent, but there are exceptions. Generally, minors who are 13 years or older can admit themselves to a mental health facility without parental consent if the facility's professional staff agrees that inpatient treatment is necessary and no less restrictive setting is feasible.
