Scars, cuts, burns and other ... sometimes teenagers and young adults intentionally maim. And those behaviors were increased in recent years. Why this need to hurt? How to get out?
Self-harm is an underestimated problem. Yet it would affect a growing number of adolescents and young adults, mostly women. More than one in ten would be concerned.
Why do evil?
Self-harm is, as its name implies, to injure himself intentionally. It passes through small cuts with a razor or a knife, burns, bites ... The teen is usually necessary to this suffering out of sight of his surroundings, hiding in his room or bathroom. These injuries practiced repeatedly are not intended to attract attention, but seems to allow it to control his emotions, his fears, his anger ... unless it a way to reclaim her body. It should be emphasized a kind of "fashion" of self-harm - some stars, such as Marilyn Manson, not hesitating to scarify on stage - which is perhaps not unrelated to the increased number of cases.
