Self harm is ususally a method of emotional release, and a lot of the time an affect of a troubled childhood. It can be caused by extreme pressure and stress, anger/frustration, being a victim of bullying and much more. It is more common in young adults and teenagers, especially women. It can be seen as a way of survival also.
