How to Get My Mom to Let Me Go to Rehab?

Question by h: How to get my mom to let me go to rehab?
I have been cutting for about seven months, and it is getting a little out of control. I stopped for a month…but then suddenly in the past few days I have started again….and I have been cutting really deep. I want to get BETTER. I want to go to Timberline Knolls near Chicago, but the thing is we live in Idaho….I am only 15….and my mom doesn’t know I cut. HOW can I get her to understand how serious this is….and how I would get better if I could go to a place I am actually WILLING to go?!?
Also…what are symptoms of bipolar disorder?
