she belittled it in july, said she had done it in may to her leg. but they have offered her school nurse and counselling and between these 2 appointments she did cut her arm, which she showed me.
she says she is fed up with talkig about it. they want me to take her to the gp and they think she is depressed.
i have googled a bit about it so am less worried but will take her to gp but the school are not going to write to me as they say as it is confidential, i am her mother, how can it be confidential from me when she is 12.
i am going to tell gp what the school have told me but cannot tell gp what the school have done as the school wont tell me.
apart from being annoyed with the school and feel they are in someway encouraging it. say i am wrong. she also has a friend, who is older, who self harmed too! how can i help my dd?
