I really don`t know where this would go, but i`m putting this in relationships because it relates to my brother.

My brother has "bad acne" issues. But really. It`s not that bad. He just thinks it is. In fact, it bothers him so much that he often thinks about suicide. And it`s really scary sometimes. Earlier today he was in his room with the door closed and had a knife and was threatening to cut himself. He also has one of those closets that have those big glass sliding doors and he wrote things on the mirrors with marker. Well, that`s what my parents said.
It worries me a lot to see him like this and I know he`s smarter than that. I can`t talk to him because he`ll just tell me to stfu and there`s no point because he just won`t listen.



But then it hit me. The only way to have him realize that his "bad acne" isn't bad is to make him realize that there are other people who have it worse than he does.

The thing is I don`t know how to show him this.

Any suggestions? Pleeeasseee?

Thanks for any advice.

i have to agree with everybody else, it's definately not his acne.
he's probably trying to get over that girl that he fell in love with, so he's telling himself that his acne is the problem.
take him to a club to meet new girls.
he needs to move on from this one girl.
and try to spend some time with him, eventually you can ask him what happened in europe with the girl.
then you could try helping him.
he's gonna ask you to keep it to yourself, and do.
don't talk to your parents about it, he'll just lose trust in you all over again.
and that's not the best thing at all for him, for him to lose trust in somebody that was just earned.
it'll suck for him anymore.
