Preventing Self-harm in Teens: A Guide for Appropriate Intervention:
Many teens who engage in self-harm do so because they are grappling with difficult emotions that they are unable to healthily manage. Self-harm may provide such teens with a feeling of distraction or release, or may be a means of acting out frustration.
