xxemolollypopxx · 02-06-2010, 09:56 PM

So this boy in my 2nd period class will SI in class. He has things that he pokes himself with and i am realy woried for him. He has gotten in troble for getting caught cutting in the boys bathroom and in the locker room. we only have a little left of school so I have no control of what he does this summer. I try to tell him to lay off and I tryed to get him to stop with me. What should I do to help him.

Maybe tell him that you're there to talk to him about it? Or tell him to sign up here or something, may help x

Let him know you're there for him to talk to and he can get help and he can use distractions. x

i know you are concerned but you shouldnt cause yourself excess worry over this person.
all you can do is llet him know you are there for him. perhaps write him a letter

if the teachers are aware then he is most likely gettin some support .

All you can do is to let him know that your there. Whether he decides to stop cutting or not has to be up to him. Take care

Like everyone says, just make sure he knows he can always talk to you about anything and that your there for him. He's probably getting professional support if the school found out so try not to worry about him too much, he has to decide for himself if he wants to stop xxx

I agree with the others. Please don't worry yourself too much as you cannot solve his problems for him, just let him know that you are there and that you are listening. Think about what you'd like if someone knew. If people know then he is most likely getting help. Sounds as if he wants help if he is cutting in class.

Technically, you have no control over what he does, whether it's summer or not.
If you're going to offer him support, though, make sure you set boundaries, or else you may find yourself burdened constantly.
Hopefully he's already getting professional support since the school is aware of the situation.
Don't stress yourself out over him, though. He makes his own decisions.

if he is doing it in class and everyone can see, than maybe he is trying to reach out.
he is hurting inside and wants help.
talk to him and let him know your there for him...a little thing like that can go a long ways.

you cant make someone stop cutting they have to be willing to! when i started off sh i done it in school aswell and during exams. have you got a guidnece teacher to talk to? they can sometimes help if nott tell him you know what hes goin thru and your there for him if he needs it.

I would think if he had gotten in trouble and administration is aware they would be doing something...I believe they are legally obligated to if they feel that he is in danger of seriously harming himself, which if he is cutting he is.

As far as what you can do, it sounds like you've tried to talk with him, maybe the best thing you can do is try to connect with him on a positive level, it might end up helping both of you. :)
