What is Self-Harm?
Each year, one in five females and one in seven males engage in self-harm.
Self-harm is an unhealthy way to cope with feelings of sadness, self-hate, emptiness, guilt and rage.
Self-harm can take on many different forms, from cutting and burning the skin to pulling hair out and breaking bones, all with the intent of harming oneself.
The injuries and wounds done by self-harming may not always be life-threatening but should be taken seriously.
