Self-harm is a complex behaviour that many teenagers and young adults engage in as a way to cope with emotional pain or distress. It often involves intentionally causing harm to one’s own body, such as cutting, burning, or hitting oneself. While it may provide a momentary sense of relief, it ultimately complicates feelings of sadness, anger, or frustration. Understanding the reasons behind self-harm is crucial in addressing this issue effectively.
