Self-mutilation
-
Hurting yourself in any way at all. Remarkably similar to eating disorders and [substance abuse]. Can be a cry for attention, a type of self-punishment or just a way of letting out frustration and depression. No matter what the form or reason, this is a disease and a serious, [widespread] problem. It is also extremely addictive and leads to downwards spirals of [reclusive] behavior, guilt and high-risk living.

[Self-mutilation] is when someone hurts themselves to release some form of pain. Usually cutting, [pulling hair], burning, banging etc. Making fun of them is not going to help. Just because you have different ways of [coping] doesnt mean you should make fun of people that already have problems hating themselves etc. Self-mutilators need help they dont need people picking on them.
