I dont think it is anyones place to judge people who self harm. I have worked with young people who have self harmed for a number of years and find that the very best you can do for them is offer support for them to talk through their feelings as well as information about harming safely if necessary! by that I mean first aid and what things they should keep close to hand in case they need to dress any wounds.

I dont ever try to talk someone out of self harming but I do offer them alternative distraction techniques that they can use as a way to reduce their harm over a period of time. Stopping is their decision.
