[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 194779"] I don't think they necessarily consider borderline right off the bat with cutting anymore, Janet. The younger generation have made the cutting acceptable within their circle of friends - the emo thing. It might be hidden from parents, but it's not hidden from friends like it would have been when we were kids. I know that it used to be that cutting or any form of SI was a guarantee for a borderline diagnosis, but I don't think that's the case in the younger kids. Since they were very superficial, I wouldn't make an issue of it, but I would keep a wary eye open. He may have just been trying to figure out why his friend would do it. Then, if he had small scratches, he may have tried to cover them up with the pen because he was embarrassed or hiding it from you. Like I said, I'd keep a wary eye open. [/QUOTE]
