Self Harm in Adolescence

Puberty has been told to be one of the most challenging and difficult times in personal life. There are many changes both emotionally and physically, sometimes giving me a feeling of excitement ... or in other cases ... complete confusion and complete confusion. As hormones tend to be very high at this time of life, some teenagers take unhealthy ways to deal with their emotional pain. This unhealthy way of dealing with emotional pain is also called self-injurious behavior.

In the UK, self-injurious behavior is a big problem of puberty. Indeed, the Mental Health Foundation, which conducted a national youth self-injury survey in 2006, believes that youth's self-injurious behavior is a major UK public health problem. It affects at least one of the 15 young people - (Mental Health Foundation 2006, 5). Other estimates suggest that more than 1 child and adolescents per 10 people are self-injured (McDougall, Armstrong and Trainor, 2010, 32), but other estimates still suggest this number 9 % (Hawton et al., 2002). The different methodology of this epidemiological survey explains the differences in many findings - but due to the nature of self-injury, it is rare to find accurate figures. It is usually a secret that is not attentive to medical, health or educational experts, even a shameful activity - Hawton et al

Self-cutting can occur at any age, but is most common in adolescence and adolescence. Suicide Prevention Center (2001) found that self-injuries usually begin early in adolescence around the age of 14 and that the disease appears to peak between 16 and 25 years of age. Although the incidence of self-injury at early childhood is relatively low, it increases rapidly with the onset of puberty (Hawton et al., 2003). According to a parent's report, Meltzer et al. (2001) studies showed that the proportion of children between the ages of 13 and 15 is 1.5 times that of children aged 11 to 12 (2.5% and 6% respectively). Of course, this can obscure the fact that some children will self-injure in advance without any service. In addition, the prevalence of self injuries in hospital settings is much higher, 80% of adolescent psychiatric inpatients are self-injured (Nock and Prinstein, 2004), the prevalence is 15 - It is 20%.

When discussing young people and young people in this report, these terms refer to young people between the ages of 12 and 18. The average age of onset of self injury is 12 years (Basic Mental Health, 2006, a), but it is reported that a 5 year old child is performing self-injury (Bywaters and Rolfe, 2002). The infant's condition of self-injurious behavior is very rare and as a year this condition increases rapidly during puberty (Hawton et al., 2003). Collection of literary resources is through retrieval of databases based on CINAHL (Nursing and Collaborative Health Index Integration Index), cultural commentary. It is particularly suitable for literature on care and related health (Aveyard, 2010).
