Understanding Self-Harm in Teens: Causes, Warning Signs, and How to Help
Self-harm, also known as self-injury or cutting, is a topic that many people find difficult to discuss, but it’s a reality that affects a significant number of adolescents. During the teenage years, young people experience emotional, social, and physical changes that can sometimes feel overwhelming. For some, self-harm becomes a coping mechanism to deal with complex emotions like sadness, frustration, or anxiety.
While self-harming behaviors are often misunderstood, understanding why they happen, how to recognize the signs, and what steps to take can make a huge difference in supporting a teen through this challenging period of their life.
