what is self harm?

self harm is - when a person try's to hurt themselves but they don't do it for attention !
some people may do it to deal with the pain they're going through at the time because they don't know any others ways to control the pain that they're feeling.
most people self harm because it's a simple cry for help they want someone to help them, but they just don't know how to ask for it so they self harm instead, they normally don't tell anyone that they self harm and but secretly at the same time they want someone to know and they want someone to save them, to help them!
so if you know someone that is self harming - try to help them! or try and get them help before they become addicted to it.
