Self Harming

Hello lovelies!
GG 'ere (:
Reccently there's been a lot of attention drawn to the matter of Self Harming via Childline and other various campaigns, so I felt the need to make our own little awareness topic.

What is self harming?
Self harming is where a person inflicts pain upon them selves due to various reasons, of which can very from an unfortunate event, depression or not feeling very happy with themsleves.
More common seen self-harming is cutting of the wrist or arms.


People self harm for a number of reasons. Ignore the 'emo cutter' and 'angsty teen' stereotypes - cutting is a serious issue. And it's not just cuts - anything from razors to cigarettes are used to self harm. Often people self harm as a coping mechanism to stop themselves from killing themselves, or it could be a way of punishing themselves for something that they believe they have done.
