If your adopted then there not your mom and dad

Just remember: Your parents are still your parents. They do still love you. You aren't their flesh and blood, but you're still THEIRS. Their child. They've taken you in, loved you, and while they didn't concieve you, that doesn't make you any less of their child.

The reason they didn't want to tell you was that they didn't want to hurt you by having you hear about your past. It was what they thought was the right thing to do.

Suicide, cutting, it won't help. Why would you want to hurt yourself when you were taken away from a place that hurt you? You did nothing wrong, you have no reason to be upset with yourself, or your life. Would you have wanted to do this had you not heard about this from your parents? Would you have felt like this? Nothing's changed, besides you knowing. You aren't any less of a person.

Some advice that somebody gave me once was to think of a line to repeat to yourself when you feel sad--It can be a line from a song, from a book, from a play. Repeat it to yourself to remind your mind to focus on something else besides your sadness. It also can remind you that you don't want to hurt yourself. Another thing to do is snap a rubberband on your wrist when you have suicidal urges.  

And talk to your parents about how you feel. They will understand.  

PM me if you need anything at all.
