I was reading a women's message board today and there was a lady concerned about her son who stated he thought about hurting himself. I think the son is under 10. One of the women responded by saying to tell the boy that if he acted on it that would be "sin and bad." It made me feel sad. I just don't think that would be helpful. I also felt bad for myself. I know some people really believe that, but I don't think of self-injury that way.
Obviously it's not a constructive way to deal with things, but telling someone that doesn't seem helpful to me. I know it hasn't helped me in the past.
Anyone else have people say these things to them?
