“Sometimes I don’t know how to deal with it to be honest. I would see it and then I would ask and there is silence. I does worry but I would say it is something she would pass over. She would not really talk. She does well in school and so and we does go to church and I would take them out so I don’t know what could be bothering her.
“But I see the marks on her hands and I ask her and she would say nothing. I am praying about it and I would just try to encourage her.”
The words of a mother who believes that one of her daughters is going through some form of emotional distress. She started to notice some small marks on the inside of her child’s arms and she believes it is some form of self-harm.
