Today, I found out my 12 year old daughter is going through a bit of an "emotional" stage. I got a call from her school saying she was sitting in the corner at recess trying to cut her wrist. With a plastic spoon. FML

It isn't really important that she used a plastic spoon. If she wants to cut her wrist (and/or even commit suicide) she has a big issue. Please, take it seriously. Even kids can get in a depression, search help to get her back out again.

That...that is silly. However, you still should get that checked out. When I was 8, I threatened to kill myself with a butter knife (thought the butcher knives would hurt too much) and as ridiculous as it was, it was just before my onset of serious depression that I still struggle with.

Get her some good help, and send her my best wishes (you don't actually have to do this if it seems creepy coming from a random internet stranger). I had similar 'fun' times back when I was 11-14, it still sticks around. And don't be afraid to move counsellors if its not working out with one of them.

Even an attempt to cutting is very serious. I'm sure she might not really be trying to hurt herself but she feels like she wants to. So talk to her.

You stupid woman. You are saying "FML" why, because your daughter isn't using a more effective tool? Because now you have to face that perhaps your child has depression? I am 28 now and I started self harming (cutting myself) at age 12. I am still in therapy now. Part of what I have to work through is growing up in a very invalidating enviroment where I felt my troubles and negative emotions shouldn't be shared and I would be rejected for trying to get help from my parents. Do you want your child to need years of therapy? To 16 years later still be battling self-esteem, urges to harm herself, and possibly even suicidal thoughts? Pull your head out of your ass and stuff your pride up there, and get your kid some help. STOP looking at yourself, and find out what she needs. You may be a selfish parent but she has done nothing to deserve this.

Oh, wow. First off, it's the FATHER of the child that posted this. Second, who the **** are you to say that the parent isn't going to find some sort of help? Why don't YOU get the **** over yourself and set YOUR pride aside before making such rash generalizations? Just because you're going through it doesn't mean you can just ASSume.

This is a real cry for help. Thank your lucky stars it was just a spoon. She was acting out her real desire. please, please get her help.
