I don't understand the reasoning for cutting yourself. My brother used to do it and my family has been through hell trying to fix this problem. Then we learned it's his whole generation who does it (he is 14).

Honestly, if you cut yourself, all you are doing is putting stress on everybody else's life. They don't get concerned because they think you are depressed- They get annoyed because you are a fucking retard. As someone who has seen these problems first hand, all I can say to you is Fine. Cut yourself and threaten to commit suicide. Because you are a fucking pussy who can't go on in his life without other suicidal 12-14 year old's comforting you telling you that you matter. You will look back on yourself in 6 years and be horribly embarrassed, and I'll laugh in your face because I studied in high school, and didn't mope around like an attention-hungry child.
