The act of hurting one's self. Usually done as a way to release painful emotion, feel something etc. Types of self-harm include burning, cutting scratching, biting, breaking bones, bruising. Some may do it for attention, though people mostly don't.

If you're doing this, please please stop. This won't make your state better, no matter how you feel after doing it. Please see help. It's not shameful to want help.
P1: I want to confess something.
P2: What is it?
P1: I have been self-harming, specifically cutting and burning myself.

P2: I'm glad you are okay and talking to me. Please don't do this anymore, it isn't healthy and it won't make things better. Is there anything I can do?
