It is normal for a teenager to be depressed after a relationship breakup, but it IS NOT normal for them to self-harm. This child needs to be in therapy and perhaps put on an anti-depressant. Perhaps, now that he is back with his girlfriend, his mental attitude has improved to the point that he would be agreeable to therapy. Cutting can be very dangerous and the underlying reasons for it need to be discovered and dealt with.
