[QUOTE="slsh, post: 194741, member: 8"] Google "emo". I had to. When thank you took cutting to a whole new level this winter, Diva overheard a phone conversation I had with staff and her comment to me was "so thank you's gone emo, hunh?". Was the first time I'd heard the phrase. Bottom line, I personally wouldn't flip out too bad over this one incident. It could be exposure to peers that cut, or experimentation. With thin scratches, it doesn't sound like true cutting to me, but I'd definitely keep an eye on him. He might try it again. I don't think there's a way to predict. If it happens again, more than a scratch, then I would address it very forcefully with psychiatrist. I don't know. Wish difficult children came with crystal balls, you know? Edited to add that when staff did become aware that thank you was cutting, I had him admitted pronto. I hadn't seen him for well over a month and he had really deteriorated, psychologically as well as physically. He'd obviously been cutting for several weeks at that point with fresh and newly-healed wounds up and down his arms, much more than a scratch. [/QUOTE]
