Self harming once or twice is not in of itself a bad thing, but if it develops further it can turn into an addiction, with the self injuries becoming more frequent during times of self harm, and more severe. If you have begun to self harm, you should seek help regarding it immediately. The act of self harm may seem like a good coping method, and at first may not seem like you are causing serious harm to yourself, but once you become dependent on it, it can be very difficult to stop.
