TY - JOUR PY - 2000// TI - Teenage self-harm 'soars' JO - Emergency nurse SP - 4 EP - 4 VL - 8 IS - 4 N2 - The number of young men who harm themselves has nearly doubled in the past ten years, according to research published by the Samaritans, which also found that three teenagers self-harm every hour. People who self-harm, cut or burn themselves or take an overdose are often doing it as a way of coping with difficult emotions, the researchers found. Some may feel suicidal and wish to die, while for others hurting themselves is a method of expressing their pain.
