To let DS miss his exam tomorrow

DS is currently in the middle of his GCSE exams, he was very anxious about failing but seemed to be getting on ok.

He was very quiet over half term and not really himself but I put it down to him being tired after a few weeks of exams. I had a message from one of his friends this evening saying that DS had told her he attempted suicide the other day and not to tell me but he's still suicidal. I've spoken to him and he refused to speak to me but said he doesn't know why he feels that way etc. I'm thinking of letting him miss tomorrow's exam if he wants to but I'm unsure if that would make him feel worse

As someone who WAS that suicidal teen, he should take the exam. He'll need some sense of normality to bring him back

Not everyone is the same.

It is really important that you don't extrapolate from what worked for you as an individual and assume it will work for every other person.

Glad you got through the period where you were a suicidal teen Flowers
