Blood on DS’s t-shirt - would you find this odd?

[Phaton]

My DS (16) went out today. When he got back he ignored me and DP and went upstairs. We thought this was weird but not unusual bur he normally speaks.

Later I noticed that he put his t-shirt in the wash and it has a bit of blood on. DP asked him why he had blood on his t-shirt and he said he had a nose bleed. DP said that DS wasn't looking at him when he was talking and he then told DP to leave him alone.

Me and DP find this odd (him not looking at DP). Are we BU and would you find this odd?

He's being evasive about it. No way that it's just a nosebleed.

Well to be perfectly honest, the pp who said keepnthe shirt as it may be something sinister, has frankly been watchingbtoo many ITV shitty dramas.

My first thought was maybe snorting coke and that's why he was evasive.

He's just got up and I noticed he had a small cut on his lip, he's now saying he ‘tripped’

It does sound like he’s had a fight and he’s embarrassed. I’d leave off the questioning for a bit and I’d be quite glad it wasn’t self harming tbh.

Sounds like someone punched him or slapped him. I wouldn't bother pushing him for answers as you won't get the truth, if he wants to tell you you will find out at some point. Certainly doesn't sound like anything 'big' happened.

Tmi but when I lost my virginity I bled a bit and it ended up on my boyfriends shirt. He tried to hide it and it was super embarrassing for him when his mum found it...

Sound like he's got into a fight.

He had a scrap, and is embarrassed/doesn’t want a bollocking about it. That’s my first and main assumption.
Honestly I’d just leave it now. If he wants to talk to you about it, he will but having less pressure on him will make that more likely.
