8 year old boy suicidal thoughts help.

[Cantinkerous]

My little brothers father is termnially ill with brain cancer. He has no older brothers or uncles any male figure in his life at all. He is bigger than all the kids, almost 5 ft. Doesnt like to be active. Plays video games all the time. He's very introverted. He lets the other kids be mean to him. He doesnt stick up for himself. He talks about how he has no friends and he wishes he was dead. He plays soccer, but he hates it. He's enrolled in boyscouts which he does enjoy. He does well acdemically, and is very obediant. He has PDD, and problems with anxiety and mild depression. What should I do? Help Please!

Someone should really talk to your brother in the mental health field. Just what is happening to his dad have to be bad enough let allow everything else he is dealing with. What about a mentor?? Is his mom in the picture? I wish your brother and his dad well and good luck!

You said 'your little brothers Father" does that not make you the older brother? Could you give us more information, regarding your relationship to him,
