UPDATE AS OF TODAY 206 PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN MY POLL AND 80 PER CENT HAVE SELFHARMED AND 8 PER CENT HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT IT SO THAT JUST SHOWS HOW WIDESPREAD THIS ISSUE IS
What is it?
Self-harm is the deliberate damaging of body tissue, more often than not, without conscious intent to commit suicide. It has also been described as "self-mutilation", "self-injury", "auto-aggression", "delicate self-cutting", and a number of other terms.
Little is known about self-harm and yet it is quite a common act of abuse. Most see it as "attention-seeking" or "manipulative" or "emo" or "freak" this is not true and people who say this are pathetic hurtful beings who simply cant understand why but it can be better described as the expression of an inner scream
Who does it?
a general answer would be that although certain characteristics may be common, it is impossible to say that one person is more likely to self-harm than another because people respond to different situations in different ways
Why?
There are a number of explanations why people harm themselves, although every person will have different reasons for doing so.

However, many of these reasons will be shared, such as to;-

release anger
turn emotional pain into physical pain (which is easier to cope with)
communicate distress and express anger
punish oneself for events (which may have been out of their control in the first place)

One thing to remember is that self-harm is not something that people do for attention. More often than not, people will go out of their way to hide their scars and they are likely to lie about how they got them. They will try their hardest to avoid being found out and will hide, or destroy, blood-stained clothing.

The most important thing is to realise that people who harm themselves are not trying to commit suicide. Many people who harm themselves may not have any suicidal thoughts at all, and use self-harm as a way of coping with different problems. On the other hand, many
How can you help yourself?
Unfortunately there is no easy answer, as self-harm is a very complex behaviour which no-one fully understands. However, there are things you can do to help control the need to harm yourself and find other ways of coping with the emotional pain. The habit of self-harm is a long term thing to break because new ways of life need to be learned, yet people DO stop harming themselves, and you can too.

Suggestions of things to do

Remember that a lot of things that have happened to you in the past has been out of your control, and that you are not to blame.

Learn to nurture and take care of yourself by doing things which make you feel pampered and loved. Read a good book, treat yourself to something new. -Whatever it is that makes you feel loved, do it.

Try to write down your feelings before you harm yourself, such as why you feel you need to, or what's caused you to feel this way. Some find that poetry helps, or even just scrawling down any words that come into your mind wh
How can you help someone else?
It is important to remember that being critical is likely to make the person feel even more self-destructive, whereas what they need to feel is accepted and cared for.

You must resist the temptation to step in and 'solve' the problem because healing can only be effective if the individual finds their own strengths and builds on them. What you can offer is support and encouragement.

Try not to pay more attention to the self-injurious things that the person does than the healthier things. The person needs to know that you are not only interested in them when they harm themselves.

Try not to get angry at them for harming themselves - This merely reinforces the self-disgust that they already feel and remember that he/she would stop if they could.
You're not alone
According to The Mental Health Foundation, around 142, 000 hospital admissions each year in England or Wales are as a result of deliberate self harm.

It's been said that 1 in 20 people regularly harm themselves in one way or another.

For every teenage boy that cuts himself, there will be about ten girls who do the same.
Understanding?
It may be difficult to understand why someone would deliberately harm themselves but it's important to remember that many people do things that are harmful from time to time. Some people smoke, drink too much, or overeat. While these things may be thought to be more socially acceptable than self-harm they can also be harmful ways of dealing with stress and the pressures of everyday life.

People who self-harm are experiencing extreme distress. They are not usually attention-seeking or mentally ill. They are in a situation where they have lost control over what is happening to them and have no other means of expressing their feelings or asking for help. They need compassion, support and understanding

I'm now at risk from losing my little boy because of it. i'm trying so hard every single day not to. i've just found out my dad has terminal cancer and is planning to refuse treatment. i'm in shock, i feel so numb and i just want to feel something. i want to cut so badly :(

      argh. im trying so hard. Ive tried different ways to help me stop self harm and try to feel better about life. But i just can't do it anymore. Its so hard. Ive tried and tried and got nowhere. And im sick of hiding behind a smiling mask. im really struggling. I tell my friends everything and trust them completely. But i don't want to tell them whats going on inside me anymore. i don't want to let them down. I feel alone now and i can't take it anymore. I need help before the blade goes one cut too deep.xxxx

      I personaly have never self harmed but i think that this site is great with people who do nd or are trying to stop. I helped a friend stop self harming i talked to her and she said she'd stop but i new it was not just going to happen like that. Personnaly i know this isn't nice to say about a mate but i think that she has got something wrong with her because she thinks she has a worse off life than anyone else.If she gets told off for not doin something after being asked 5 times she self harms.But typing that has made me think about it and i know its not her fault but councilling may help her all she needs is someone who will listen to her lyk me but she need profesional advice which i cannot give i would love to take a course but am only 13. I did the last thing i eva wanted 2 do but i told her mum her mum talked to her and my friend eventually stopped. she told her mum all about the ways she tried comiting suicide 2 which helped her lots! i am glad i did wat i did!
