The majority of these increases involve the most common form of self-harm, cutting. Between 20, self-injury increased by 166 percent in girls aged 10 to 14 and 62 percent in girls aged 15 to 19. These rates represent a steep rise over the past 10 years, especially among girls. One study found that as many as 25 percent of young people engage in self-harm. A recent analysis of data from the Centers for Disease Control reveals that up to 30 percent of teenage girls and 10 percent of boys say they have intentionally injured themselves. Unfortunately, this behavior is becoming increasingly common in teens.
Teens engage in different types of self-harm that can be hard to recognize or identify. Also known as self-injury, self-harm is a symptom of extreme emotional distress. Self-harm refers to injuring or hurting yourself on purpose.
