.... or isnt there an age? cos i looked it up on the internet and it said that ppl that self harm are mainly between 14 and something else. Im 12 and i self harm and yeah i know its wrong ect. but i do. is this way too young or does anyone else self harm at 12.
To be perfectly honest I don't think that there is an answer to your question. What you may have found on the internet is statistics showing that the majority of people who self-harm are above fourteen. That does not mean that it is 'not allowed' at twelve.
Obviously self-harm is wrong but you seem to know that, do you know why it is you feel the need to self-harm?
Often I find that the self-harm gets worse the longer it is left untreated therefore manifests itself in more serious forms (therefore it is more noticed about fourteen) but it does take place below that age. Indeed I was self-harming long before then, without even understanding what it is I was doing.
I think you need to get helped with it though, I'm not sure what the answer you wanted from this question. Would it have been better if I had told you it wasn't allowed? I don't think it is a question of permission in all honesty.
Take care xx
thanx. I do know i shouldnt and all that stuff and i have decided over and over im going to tell this teacher i trust but evrytime i make up an excuse for talking and walk off.
to b honest wiv u everyone self harms at one point in their life. toddler adults teens whenever it is you do it so ther aint an age limit just a majority
Im 11 and i do. It can be any age i guess but it's not a good thing at all.
it's not wrong or bad to self-harm it's just not helpful i started cutting at the age of 8 i get help from CAMHS now and it truly does work to talk to a profesional. maybe you could work out why you self-harm and talk to someone who understands it before it gets any worse
look after your self xxx
