I would probably ask him about them when your alone with him, such as: "What happened to your arm" and just see how he reacts. He, of course, may have some good excuse already planned, but he might open up to you. You never know.

for friends?? Sure - why not.

For more than that? IMO - you need to love yourself first.

I really don't care about myself,& I can't love myself. I can't. I'm more worried about others. Even ones I don't know well.

Hi The Fox & the Hound, first of all it sounds like you really care about what he might be doing, so respect!!
And I'd say, yes, talk to him. For all you know either no-one has shown a real interest or at least no-one he feels he can really talk to, and that has to be so isolating given the way he is feeling. With the chance that he may be sinking deeper and deeper without anyone at least "reaching out a hand he can hold onto". What you say may not work, but at least you'll have tried and at least hopefully he'll know you care.
Just don't be "full on", no "accusations", no "interrogations". Just maybe try to let him know that you've noticed, and some "if"'s in a supportive manner, and let him know you're there for him to start with. Or just think about what you'd like someone to say to you, if..........I wouldn't necessarily expect him to just come right out with everything, but if you've at least let him know that he can talk to you, maybe next time, or sometime...........
And again, respect for wanting to help him in this!!

I see him in my study hall ... Should I talk with in there? Ask to talk to him after class? Or what?

How close are you to him right now?

If you are not close, consider first working on becoming better friends. If you become better friends, you will have a better chance of speaking freely with him about depression as well as SI.
