Self-Harm is the act of inflicting pain and damage to one's body. It is something intentional. It happens in many forms; scratching, burning, cutting, etc. Excess consumption of alcohol and drug addiction both contribute to self-harm.
It is done privately and in a place that has no distractions. People who do this think it makes their anger, sadness, and anxiety go away. It only shows how depressed, traumatized, or hopeless this person is.
Most people who self-harm are teenagers and adults. Adults have a lot on their plates. They must provide for their loved ones and set a remarkable example to the young generation. They may also have a childhood trauma that they never emotionally healed.
I am a teenager. There is a lot that a teenager has and must do to a point life becomes strange. Peer pressure is there. You fall into a trap without knowing the dangers. Your friends won't warn you because the goal is to convince you and make you participate.
At this stage, not all the people you meet or surround yourself with are your admirable version. People are judgemental. You will barely find one who opens up. At this point, self-harm becomes the solution.
You cannot simply tell if one is hurting. The signs are not as distinct as they should be. The dress style and accessorizing can be a reason to hide the wounds. If any marks are spotted, it will only leave the viewer in deep shock and with the urge to find out the cause.
Self-harm happens regularly. The more you do it, the more the pain. If done for such a long time, life becomes monstrous. At this point, suicide seems to be the only way out.
A lot is going on in society. Very little is said while so much is held back. It can only be dealt with if there is knowledge, understanding, and acceptance of the circumstance.
