"Friend" Has Bruises, Should I Worry?

Question

My sister Amber used to go out with this guy Darren for the half a year and were in love. To many, Darren is arrogant and a fighter. But he's a cool person to know. Real loyal and honest plus very funny. He was very sweet to Amber and me and my father liked him. Amber broke up with Darren two days before his b-day. Hes very popular with girls and this was the first time he'd ever been dumped so I guess it messed with his head or whatever. And he has been acting out of characther since. He even canceled his b-day party that he said was going to be huge. Plus the night he got dumped Amber was supposed to come back to check on him, she went to his house and he wasnt there. Only person that saw him that night was his best friend Matt who said dude was crying like a little baby. Darren is a really tough guy so I cant even picture that. Matt is a reliable source since Darren and Matt are like family and they call eachother "brother". Then Darren just disappeared for a week and neither I or Amber saw him. Amber saw him a couple days ago and he has all these bruises on his face. His face was just swollen. We asked Matt and Matt is like "Yeah he was in the hospital." but he didnt say why. Then I asked his cousin Aminah what happened and she said he did it to himself. So later Amber asked Darren what happened and he said that he fell down and hit his face. But when I asked him he said that he was boxing his cousin and got hit hard. He doesnt even have any male cousins in town so nothing makes sense. I know that his father used to abuse his mother when he was a kid and hit him once, but he lives with his mother now and they havent been with his father since he was 7 (he 19 now) so who could have beat him? And who telling the truth? Amber is worried about him should she be? He dont even smile anymore or act the same.

Answer 1

from what i hear i think he did it to himself to inspire pity in you guys...i think he wants attention....maybe he's trying to guilt ur sister into getting back with him...or he could have tried to commit suicide and failed....

Answer 2

Break-ups are hard. Mentally , emotionally, and physically. He could have gotten into a fight with a random guy, just because he was in a down mood, mabe drunk, and angry. When you look for trouble, you will usually find it. He may have inflicted it on him self but i doubt it. Give him some time to heal both physically and emotionally . Matt is his best friend, he should stay close for now and be supportive. You may be able to get some answers from him in time. Its best that Amber stay away for now.

this is. bruising is in simple terms broken blood vessels, and blood pooling under the exterior. once I first went vegetarian, i bruised like a peach! yet progressively, as I grew to alter into extra wellness-unsleeping, it stopped. If this is a surprising and up to date progression, this is recommended to get a blood attempt to see whilst you're anemic. an trouble-free iron supplement must be the answer on your issues! yet there are a number of different opportunities besides. There are some ailments like leukemia that are blood cancers and can reason (intense) trouble-free bruising (yet we are speaking, like, you look such as you have been in a ruin once you sweep your hip, so do no longer freak out!) My boyfriend's relatives in simple terms has genetically susceptible veins, and that all of them bruise fairly. as long as i'm taking a multivitamin and exercising, i do no longer bruise infrequently in any respect. yet examine including your prevalent practitioner whilst you're nervous.
