Re: Teenager self injury

I have to agree with Sky. A friend of mine started self-harming at the age of 13, she developed Anorexia and ultimatley took an overdose. Thankfully she was found in time so recovered from the overdose but still bears the scars on her arm from the self harm. She was refered to a psychiatrist by the hospital that treated her and this is what got her through the tough time she was having. She got through it all and survived everything but talking about it now she realised she needed the help back then even though she resisted it at the time. Get help for your daughter now before it goes any further.

Please forgive me Rabina, but I don't think it's just one of those things.

Going to a doctor for this kind of help can remain a completely private affair, nobody would need to know except you and your child.
It's nothing shameful. If you break your arm you get a cast, the brain is part of the body, no different from any other organ.

Take her expression of her disraught seriously.
