DD(13) came to me this evening and showed me that she has been cutting her legs. Many, many cuts. None of them looked particularly deep but there was just so many of them. DD said it had started this week.
It seems like she has been having problems with a friend who has been bullying her physically and emotionally.
I hugged her and told her that I loved her. We talked then she went and had a bath.
This is new to me. Have I done the right thing? What else should I be doing?
Does anyone have any experience of this please?
