13 year old boy cutting himself

<p>Thanks, we’re off to a good start and DS agreed to go back for a one-on-one this Thursday.</p>

<p>Good to hear it.</p>

<p>Just wanted to pop back in to say that we ran into one of his teachers who commented he’d been smiling a lot more and seemed like a happier kid than a few weeks ago, so that was great to hear!</p>

<p>That’s great news, jeannemar. I hope it continues!!</p>

<p>That’s good news! Continued good vibes for you.</p>

<p>Thanks for the update!</p>

<p>Great to hear. Here’s hoping he just keeps getting better and better. </p>

<p>Sometimes its a way to deal with suicidal feelings. Because the idea of killing yourself is too extreme you deal with the selfworth issues by cutting yourself because seeing yourself bleed is like a way of partially killing yourself.</p>

<p>otters45, thank you for your post. That’s a very insightful observation.</p>
