Thank you for this Frank, it means a lot.
I have not read so much about why teens may be hurting their body (never heard of burning, but it does seem plausible)
I think that these days it is very easy to find different things online, (not sure if checking other cultures, like reading too much about Asian cultures, i.e. harakiri, in a lighter form of course)
Teens who may want to feel that they do something extraordinary, or who feel they do not fit in with other teens - tend to search online more.
I will try to be near this person, but not to overwhelm it (because this could backfire), and to see if this will continue. Sometimes, teens tend to experiment, and if they think something is not interesting enough, they just move on.
This one is a smart little teen, so I am hopeful.
Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts with me.
