A picture says a thousand words, but what kind of story does a scar tell? The "language" of self-injury has MULTIPLE layers: expressing anger, self-loathing, pain, guit, and utimately SELF-PUNISHMENT! With so MUCH going on the inside, you (or the person harming) may feel like it is the only way to get temporary relief.

You may think you have it under control...but the severity can increase as time goes by. WARNING: Self-inflicted violence is dangerous! DO NOT ALLOW this to happen to you!
