A couple of days ago, my cousin came over for dinner. He seemed very depressed; significantly less active in interraction than he did a year ago. Whenever I'd try talking to him, I was given a 'bleh' response (not really negative, but rather emotionless). Even when I offered to watch anime with him, a proposal he NEVER refused before, he denied, saying 'no...thanks'.
But here's the main part- come dinner time, we all sit down to eat. When he reaches for his fork, I notice several infected slashes on his lower right forearm, and immediately I felt a deep sense of both despair and shock. I didn't say anytihng at the table. However, when we were alone at one point, I told him what I saw very calmly, and he shrugged, saying 'eh....em...right', and walked off. I swear I heard him whimper, too.
On instant messaging, hes told me about struggling with school bullies, and always got so down about it. I want to show him love, care, and acceptance school doesnt provide.
What do I do?
