This post has really touched home to me but not for the obvious reason, I am not a cutter myself, but my son, who is 15 has been burning himself, his arms mostly, with cigarettes. I have confronted him about this and he denies he is doing it, says his friends keep bumping into him, etc. I have no idea why someone would want to hurt themselves, could you please offer some insight into this for me, and tell me how I can help my son. He refuses counseling, I have taken him in the past and he has refused to speak, not even a hello to the psycologist, they eventually after several of these sessions, told me not to bring him back as they felt they were wasting their time with someone who was not willing to help himself. I'm lost as I don't know where his pain is coming from.
Thanks
