    This is an interesting topic as it is a double-edged sword. Do celebrities, the people who are supposed to be role models for the younger generation, unknowingly perpetuate an acceptance for self-harm? Popular movies such as Thirteen and Girl, Interrupted show young women going through troubled times, and how they dealt with handling it. They shed light and spread awareness of these coping skills that helps cutters feel that they’re not as alone. They raise comprehension that these issues are widespread and do need to be addressed. As seen within Mukherjee’s book, what moves an entire society will cause a shift in medical progress towards curing it. Because of these films, more people probably sought out help for their problem rather than internalizing them.…

    The rising prevalence of reports of individuals who have self-harmed, and the lack of an agreed-upon definition of what constitutes self-harm, led to the creation of the DHSI, or the Deliberate Self-Harm Inventory (Gratz, n.d.). The inventory does not include suicide attempts. drug usage, ingestion of objects and/or substances, or risky behaviors such as reckless driving. What this inventory considers self-harm is operationally defined as “the deliberate, direct destruction or alteration of body tissue without conscious suicidal intent, but resulting in injury severe enough for tissue damage (e.g., scarring) to occur” (Gratz,…

    Self-injury is a behavior in which people deliberately harm their own bodies in some way to cope with overwhelming emotions. Self-injury frequently is an impulsive act. You may become upset and spontaneously seek a way to hurt yourself, recklessly doing damage to their body. Other times, self-injury may be inflicted in a controlled, methodical manner. You may even plan it in advance, taking steps to avoid detection and to prevent infections. This act of behavior is not an attempt at suicide. With self-injury, the intent isn’t to die, but to inflict bodily harm. However, self-injury can accidentally result in suicide.…

They also receive the least amount of treatment. This problem is also the least spoken about among African American families. Because of this a lot of people feel a sense of relief, or power when they harm themselves, whether it be by burning, punching, or cutting themselves. It is important to understand that these acts are not always suicidal. Sometimes they are genuinely a cry for…

It is done in order to either reduce anxious thoughts, and other feelings of tension, or to be self punishment. It can also be done to experience an immediate sensation or impression of comfort or satisfaction. The individual will partake in the behavior so frequently and with a certain feeling of necessity, that it strongly resembles an addiction. (DSMV). The individual will use instruments such as a sharp knife, razor blade or needle to cut themselves. The most common areas are the tops of thighs, and the inside of the forearm. The cuts made are on the top layer of the skin, usually cut parallel to each other. There are more methods than cutting oneself; it has been recorded that individuals may burn themselves with a lit cigarette butt, or rub their skin with an eraser. (DSMV) There are up to sixteen different recorded methods of self harm (SLIDE) Usually, the higher the number of types of methods the individuals partakes in, the more “sever the psychopathology, including suicidal attempts.” (DSMV) Perhaps one of the most debilitating part of this disorder is that most people who participate in such self harm behaviors do not report it, and do not seek any clinical treatment…

    There are many aspects of public health that need to be focused on, injury being one of them. Injury comes in two forms, intentional and unintentional. With regard to intentional injury, self-harm and suicide have been classified as major public health issues. Everyone is affected by injury regardless of age, sex, race, or socioeconomic status. Injury is the leading cause of death for Americans ages one to 44, and it claims the lives of about 199,800 people every year.

    Imagine a rainy day when there is absolutely nothing to do. All the homework assignments you have are done, you have already gone through your chores, and none of your friends are available to hang out. As a last resort, you decide to go on a social media website. Many times I log off of the website to log back in five minutes later out of pure boredom. The issue I, and probably many other people, face is absolutely nothing has changed and the same boring stories are being featured. With nothing else to do we sit there signed in, refreshing the page, waiting for something exciting to appear. Maybe it’s time to sign up for a new website. There is a plethora of choices, but by chance, you end up signing up for Tumblr, a personal blogging website founded in 2007 by David Karp. Out of the 67% of people who use social networking websites, only about 6% of them use Tumblr. Tumblr is not statistically as popular as Facebook, but it is the best choice for a social media website. Tumblr is the best social media website because it is easy to use, allows the user to keep in touch with friends, is extremely safe, and authorizes the user to express themself.…
