Hi Sangeeta, You obviously really care for your son a lot. If he is conversing with a girl who is suicidal and depressed, then she is most fortunate to have such a kind son as yours to open up to. Imagine if the roles were reversed and your son was the suicidal/depressed one? I am sure you would appreciate him having a friend to talk to. Having mental health issues can happen to anyone, Sangeeta. However......if you are concerned that the telephone conversations are interfering with his studies or the girls problems are wearing him down too much....then it might be a good thing that the phone usage is limited at the school. Possibly you may like to suggest to your son that his friend receive some counselling. That would ease the load a bit for your son. Although he must be a very good friend to have. You have obviously done a great job of instilling kindness in him. How does he get on with his father? I seem to recall that in a past post that your husband was quite authoritarian in his approach towards your son (?) Forgive me if I am mistaken in this regard, but possibly your son is just grateful to chat with a friend about normal teenage issues. Education is important....but so is happiness. All the best.
