Hateful child. Is it my fault? Most likely it is.

[CatsArePeopleToo]

My 11yo DS is one of these "soft" boys who gets pushed around and picked on. Recently he said he wanted to murder those other kids. I didn't pay much attention earlier, but he said that recently about family friends. It really scares me.

I'm sorry, this is so unbelievable.

In the unlikely event this is real you should book yourself on a parenting course, report yourself to the Social, whatever.

Op, am assuming what people said above that 'hateful' means full of hate and not a horrible child. 2. I'm assuming soft you mean quiet, timid or smaller in frame. 3. I'm assuming you didnt say these violent games will teach you something but more 'here is a video game'. Based on these assumptions I'd say keep talking, keep other family members talking and being involved and address the violent thoughts with him. Also maybe counselling, but be there for him and wherever the bullies are, address that, he deserves to have a childhood. And switch out the games, maybe even ask on mn for suitable alternatives (ours live on fortnite, I'm not going to wish that on you!) Best of luck op

I am quite disturbed by the idea of an 11 year old (or even younger) playing Skyrim as there is a lot of adult content aside from the violence!

Stop calling him soft. He is gentle naturesd, perhaps
Stop ignoring the 'I wanna kill people'. Get him to talk to someone . Get him in a sport that will help him get some resilience to help with his confidence. And take away those bloody games he is playing wtf

If this is a real thread, please take your poor boy seriously. Talking about death, killing and knives is often a sign of clinical depression and he needs help as soon as possible. Please arrange for him to see your GP

He doesn't sound particularly 'soft' if he's getting into trouble for fighting and talking about murdering people and sticking knives in them.

He may benefit from seeing someone for some anger management. You absolutely have to remove those games.

Try to get him into some sort of sport or hobby that doesn't involve a screen or violence.
