Self-mutilation

Self-mutilation The reason I chose this topic is because my boyfriend’s daughter, who is 15 years old, is a self-mutilator. She has been secretly doing this for about one and half years before we found out. How we found out is that we seen the scrapes and scars on her arm. When asked about them, at first she denied doing such a thing to herself. While I was straightening her room one day, I came across a letter that she had written to a classmate stating that she had cut herself with a razor blade that she had gotten from her own razor. When confronted, Jessica had no choice but to confess to do doing such a horrible act. She said the reasoning why she cut herself was because it relieved the pain and anger that she had. I wanted to learn more about this issue to see what could be done and to try and understand why someone with doing such horrific things to themselves. What I have learned thus far is heart-wrenching. This topic has been one that has remained quiet for some time.
