He cuts himself because of me!?!


Question: He cuts himself because of me!!?
Ok, there is a guy in my grade who is in a few of my classes!. he really likes me and always hangs around me and stares at me in class!.

one night, we had a school function and as a joke I asked him out!. I thought he new that I was joking because me and my friends where all laughing!. I wasnt trying to be cruel because I thought he knew it was a joke!.

Anyway, now he's depressed, goes to councilling and has cut himself all up his arm because of that one night!. I'm scared he's going to do something serious to himself!.

I'm really bad at talking to people about serious issues, so how do I tell him that I'm sorry and I don't want him to hurt himself!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
It's probably not just you as to why he cuts himself, so don't work yourself up about it!. I think that you asking him out must have been like a trigger - maybe he had lots going on in his life making him feel really anxious and then you just pushed him over the edge by asking him out!. Don't feel too bad, it's not like you did it just so he would slice himself up!. But it's important that you apologize because that "joke" must have really hurt his feelings!. Cutting is hard to understand unless you've been through it and maybe it's unfair to expect you to understand the motivate thoughts behind it!. Just make sure that you are kind and polite to him!. Don't try and confront him about it, he'll just feel more ashamed and embarrassed, and try not to feel sorry for him because that will just make him angry!. Self harming is a complicated concept and frame of mind that it's probably wise not to get stuck into!. Just don't push it!. Good luck xxWww@Answer-Health@Com

i agree with the girl that told you not to flatter yourself!.!. First of all dont do that!. And then, act nice to him, dont go on saying"I thought you would think it was funny," cuz that mgiht cut him up even more!. Its kinda slack that u asked him out when he displays signs of liking u!.!.!.!.!.!.TEll him exactly how u feel!. That it was just a joke and you're a bit immature nd that u ddint read that he was into u and that he should lighten up a little!? Tell him from the heart, not from the internet!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

First of all don't flatter yourself so much!. He cuts because he has issues!. You just aggravated them with your "joke"!.
How in the hell can you be so mean!?
Put yourself in his shoes!.
How would you like being put on the spot like that with everybody laughing!?
Have you ever seen "Carrie" by Stephen King!?
If not you should watch it!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Cough!.!.!.Cough!. Well unlike the other guy who says its your fault >!.<!.
I believe it is mean to do something like that, yes, but it your friend is also at fault for cutting himself!. Everyone lives their life, no!? So cutting yourself because you got told a joke is definitely not the best idea that comes to mind!. I believe you should tell his parents or school counselors immediately to help him!.

it sounds like he probably suffers from something anyway !.!.!.!.i persoanlly am not going to sit here an say it is all ur fault but then again if u knew this boy really liked you is nothing to pick on him about !.!.!.!. ur intrested or ur not dont make a big joke outta it !.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Wasn't trying to be cruel yeah right hope you do feel bad now , you don't know what other issues the person might have playing jokes like that could send someone over the edge like killing themselves !.!.!.!.!.!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

You should tell his parents, your parents or a school councilor!. He needs help from a professional!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There is nothing you can do now!.

The notion that you were not trying to be cruel is ludicrous!. You were being intentionally cruel and laughing about the fact that a loser like him could never get anyone as great as you!.

Now you feel guilty about what a horrible person you are!. Well, you deserve to feel guilty!.

There is nothing you can do because he knows the truth and no bull that you can shovel will change his mind!. He just needs to learn to deal with it and you can't help him!.

Just try not to humiliate anyone else in the future!. I know its really fun for you to make other people feel low so you can feel superior but it also causes a lot of pain so you should stop doing it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yeah that would probably cut him deep inside!. best thing to do is FOR YOU to put an effort for this!.

Organised a time just for you and him, in the school playground/after school in the shopping centre, or somewhere interesting where you can have an open minded communication with him!. And atleast keep it for an hour atleast just to hang around with him!. Ask him something, talk to him, even tell him you EX!! if you had one, i think he will find this intersting as the pain his going through is involved boyfriend/girlfriends!. So yeah talk to him something close to this kind of subjects but make sure you say sorry first before all of this!.

Hope this helps!

By the way, when you talking to him, dont be soo happy neither as this situation this guy is very senstitive!. Act thankful but less smile and laugh so he will know you're in full serious too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

tell him that you are sorry!.
you did a really horrible thing!. and i'm sorry, but i think u were real jerk to do that to this guy!. of course maybe u and your friends found it funny, but how the **** is he supposed to know that it was a joke!. that's not cool!. the guy likes you, and then u go and ****** piss on him!? that's not cool!.!.!.!.!.you really need to go talk to him and tell him that u ****** up and that u were a real *****!. i'm sure he'll understand if u tell him the TRUTH!. u humiliated him, and he's obvious really really upset about it!. u drove someone to cut themselves!.!.!. that's just not cool!.
i would apolagize as soon as possible!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

lsn i don't wanna be hard on u but u cant pretend to be friends with a guy without handling any unsolved issues such as that!. u cant give him hope when there isn't any and the healing has to start at some point!.
i had to face something like that and there isnt an easy way for solving this, if hes already getting professional help then all u could do is be a good friend and this is not something to joke about and i m sure hes sensitive to this!.
btw i tried the act like nothing happened policy doesnt work either,,, u end uo freaking out!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

One thing you need to know now - you are never responsible for anything another person does to themselves, even if they say it was because of you!
You didn't cut him- he did!.
About the situation that led up to it- I'm sorry to hear that you would consider toying with any ones feelings a joke!. Any time you have an idea like that again, think about it as if it were happening to you, then decide if you still want to do it
You need to get brave- pull him aside and tell him that you are sorry, that you don't want him to hurt himself- just like you wrote earlier!. You might want to add it was brave of him to get help, too!.
I'm glad you're trying to make it right!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
