Staying silent is NOT safe, sure you may get a lecture from others about how it's wrong but it's anything but safe. Put it from your body's point of view, you hurt it and make it feel even more pain than it already has. Besides, there will always be that one time you either, cut to deep, or need hospitalization for not eating, or other reasons; all those times you will be lowering your safety, both mentally and physically. Many who self harm usually think "I'm getting release without dying and giving those who hurt me satisfaction..." That is not true. Cutting=Self Harm=Feeling Horrible, and that's what bullies want to make you feel. Don't. Give. In. Staying silent also won't give you the help you need. There are other ways of "releasing" without hurting yourself.
