Self-Harm, please read. Jun 04 2009, 12:23 PM

I want to share this with you http://www.bbc.co.uk/headroom/newsandevents/programmes/meera_syal.shtml A quote from OurLoveTraveels: "Three teens self harm every hour in the UK. The issue of self harm is much larger than people think it is and yet the subject is taboo, here at OurLoveTravels we are dedicated to helping self harmers try to recover but it will always be a two way system. One in five teens self harm according to a recent scientific research pole. One in three girls self harm according to that same pole. Diana, Princess of Wales Self harmed as a teen, she was a very public figure so no matter how you feel you are not alone. If you are self harming badly you should consult a doctor, self harm does not always mean you have any mental disorder."

I don't fully agree with the statistics mentioned, but I do respect most things produced by the BBC, unlike the Daily Mail...

Im not sure where they get them from but they should hold an independent survey.

I phrased that wrong I meant I don't think the statistics are very reliable because I assume the sample wasn't very large.

Anyway it's a useful video still.
