Explaining self harm to a teen boy

[Quiegal]

My son 15 been watching EastEnders with me and seems no understand why Amy is cutting herself.

He keeps going on about it he even asked me a question now. When Sam told Jack about Amy.

He does have ADHD but seems to obsessed with this now. He even called Amy stupid girl because she cutting herself.

I have tried explaining it to him and even told him look up self harm.

He still going on help me explain this.

DON'T GET HIM TO LOOK UP SELF HARM!

Explain that sometimes people can get into a such a poor mental state the ability to think rationally gets eaten away by other thoughts. Harming can make people feel in control when you've lost control, because the ability to think clearly is gone.
She isn't stupid she needs help.

He tried to look it up couldn't find anything and then I sent him links and he didn't look so deleted what I sent him.

I will explain it how you have said.

If it's not one thing with him it's another.
