my friend

I found out a close friend of mine's started self harming cause his girlfriend dumped him after they were going out for a year... how do I approach talking to him about it?

You need to let him no that u will always b there 4 him, just mention the subject n if he wants to talk to you about it he will but dont force him to. Also dont treat him any differently if he does tell u bout it because that is the worse thing about people noing.

Well just talk to him, tell him about your experiences.
Confort him, Just be there. He needs to know that your not going to judge him, or think he is weird. He needs to be able to trust you.
Let him know that :)

The best thing you can do right now is let him know your there for him, just approach him when it seems like a good time. Although it might seem like there is never a good time to talk about stuff like this :whoops:

If he doesnt wanna talk about it then just leave it at that for the time being, dont nag at him to talk to you, its the worst thing you can do. So long as he knows he can turn to you, he will come it just needs time. And most importantly dont judge hiim or change your view of him. Dont treat him any differently to what you did before you knew.

I hope he's ok and I hope you have found these replies usefull. Maybe you could steer him towards this forum?
