Self Harm (Mutilation)

The definition of self harm is: — n

the practice of cutting or  otherwise wounding oneself,  usually considered as  indicating  psychological disturbance. People (Mainly females,  but males also) may cut themselves for a range of different reasons. They may  feel no emotions, and do it to feel something. Or because  they feel they need a release  because all their emotions are bottled up inside. They do it for instant gratification. Other people crave the attention,  Or they want to die. But  most people who cut aren't trying to kill themselves.  They want to get rid of  their inner turmoil.  They are usually  deeply depressed  and feel that it  is the answer,  but in the long run it  makes their  condition worse.

	Other methods people use for self harm are: Burning themselves,                                Scratching themselves, Swallowing sharp objects,        Breaking bones intentionally,           Hitting their head, Pulling hair, etc.               People doing these things are really suffering              emotionally and should seek help.
