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.

you/your parent should make an appointment at a dermatologist right away. I been in a similar situation, except the person wasnt suicidal. tell your brother that life isnt all about looks, but if it makes him feel better, the derm. can do alot to help his skin.

its worth a shot right?
