My son is 15 and has very low self confidence. He says he hates the way he looks (hair & teeth) and rarely looks at himself in the mirror. He even turns the mirror around in the bathroom to avoid looking at himself. I obviously think he's a good looking boy and I tell him often but he never believes me.
What's more worrying is that he has started self harming because of the hatred he feels towards himself. Ive spoken to him about it and he promised he wouldn't do it again.
I really feel for my boy because he is the shy type and doesn't have many friends and he struggles making new friends.
Does anyone have any advice as to how I can help him. Its breaking my heart.
