DD15 has been messaging a friend a lot the past few days - not a close friend AFAIK- but says this friend is self harming and Dd seems to be trying to help her.
Does anyone know who would be a good person for this girl to talk to - childline ? Samaritans ? I told DD she is being a good friend but I don't want her texting at all hours and feeling this girl really relies on her. Not wishing to sound callous but it is not one of her close friends so I made her switch her phone off last night to go to bed, she was very upset but agreed in the end.
I don't feel DD nor I should be too involved so would prefer to suggest an outside ( & indeed skilled ) counsellor.
