Teenage son is talking about suicide.
Content
Teenage son is talking about suicide. My son is 14 years old and is a freshman in high school. He has had a stutter for his entire life and it has had an impact on him socially. He doesn't really have any friends because other kids don't take the time to get to know him due to his stuttering. He has been talking about suicide for a few months now. We are working through those problems with a therapist and other activities. What I would really like for him though is a place where he can socialize (in person or online) with people who can understand some of what he's going through. He just needs friends, people to talk to. I would love any suggestions. Thank you. Edit: THANK YOU FOR YOU WONDERFUL RESPONSES AND SUPPORT! I have signed him up for the Friends teen group for tomorrow night. Many of the suggestions posted (working on getting him friends, speech therapy, ect) are things we've been working on for a very long time and we will continue to do so. I really want to put him in touch with other teens who stutter. Thank you all for the resources and kind words.
