Hi :)
Unfortunately there is no definite period for which self harm lasts!
It can lasts for years... But the person doesn't necassarily do it every day/week/month!
Or it can last for a short while. Or a person may only do it once (but this is extremely unlikely!!).
For it to stop, the person needs to talk to someone (a friend, family, teacher at school, their GP, or maybe a counselor or a psychiatrist, depending on what ever they want to do! :) ) In the vast majaority of cases it won't stop until they have seeked guidance!
Or maybe a person would like to look it up more on the internet, to get more info about it and maybe self help! :) It is so possible to stop :)
Hope this helps?!

It is important for individuals who are engaging in self-harm to seek help from a mental health professional to address the underlying issues contributing to this behavior.
