My DS is 13 and was often described as the most confident child people had ever met. Always been good around girls and a big personality. Started at boys grammar school 2 years ago and has slid into what I thought was the standard grumpy teenager ever since. He has had a couple of crushes on boys and suffered at school because of it, and I know he has tried to get physical, not all the way, but further than a kiss, with a girlfriend. We have talked to him about taking it easy on the sexuality question, we wouldn't mind which direction he took, but I have felt for a while he is confused and struggling. He does not have any good friends and would now do anything for the approval of the cool boys at school. This morning I confess I looked at a fb conversation in which he told a classmate he was planning to commit suicide this weekend. It wasn't a 'jokey' tone, for want of a better word, and I need to let him know that I know. Help!!
