HEAD-LINE HELP ME NOW!!!!!

MY BROTHER JON, WANTS TO HURT HIMESELF. HOW DO I CONVINCE HIM TO GET HELP AND HOW TO HELP. NEED HELP SOON.

What do you mean, is he talking about suicide? Is this your older sibling or younger? You need to force him to address the problems which are forcing him to think this way... If it's depression, you should make sure your parents are aware of it, so he can get professional help, maybe medication... If this is a plee for attention, as usually threats of this sort are, I think you really should talk to your parents anyway... It depends on how old he is...

well, my dad it's just because of the fact he wants attention due to my sister jo making a deal out of nothing and sister sissy is going to colloge even if she's living here. and she wants attention too, he's the baby. so maybe he's was just joking. i hope so. i don't think he was too sirous but i told the parents not much more i could do. if he countiues to tell me then we will see only through time. but it was very brotherly converstation 🙂...

I responded to this on another board James, but now I can't find it. eep. It's somewhere, I promise.

Maybe dxpnet would be kind enough to provide the link. I'm sure he's got a scary-big catalogue of postings.

James, you need to go to your parents about this RIGHT NOW. It is not a 'normal' thing at a young age to talk about inflicting harm on yourself. This is from a psychological perspective. You need to go to your parents and let them know and also talk to your brother and try to find out the real issues behind his threats. He is obviously hurting and he doesn't know how to deal with the pain. He needs some help right now if he is to grow into a healthy adult.

it's okay. At least for now, he diddn't know i told on him. And the only reason he told me that was because he wanted attention becuase my sister was going off to colloge. and they've seen lot's of cuts so they could tell. So, it's okay. Thanks though... for ur conceren.
