A friend took me aside earlier and told me that my DS had told her son that he wanted to kill himself today. When she questioned him as to why my DS would say something like that he said it was probably because nobody really played with him. My heart is breaking at the moment, didn't know what to say to her. If that wasn't bad enough it's not the first time, he has said it in the past. Most recently was last week after some bad behaviour I told him his planned treat for the weekend was cancelled, he threw an almighty tantrum on the way to school which involved calling me names, hitting me, and screaming. When I got him through the school gates and far enough into the ground to make sure he was safe, he stood with his head pressed up to the railings. When I talked to him about it after school he told me he had been trying to break his own neck as he wanted to die! I had a chat with him tonight and he admitted telling his friend he wanted to kill himself and said it was because another boy had called him names. He also said he didn't have loads of friends and that a group he used to play with now wouldn't let him play. This little group was also involved with a bit of bullying towards my DS and a few others at the end of Reception year. We have had a few issues with DS over the past year but my health visitor assures me he is a normal 5 year old and my Dr did refer to the child mental health team but they decided there wasn't any issues. Don't know what to do or how to handle this. He is a very sensitive child who is blatently not a happy chappy at the moment. We all want our kids to be popular and liked so it tears me up think of him as a bit of a loner at school. Just want him to be happy but don't know how to help him. Can't sleep worrying about him.
