1.far more widespread these days,1in 11 girls !! and 1 in 30 boys
2.most situations involve a form of cutting
3.The ex self harmist said that it was linked to her low esteem at university
but was probably caused from bullying at an earlier school.
4.she also noted that one of the hardest parts was being told or advised not to.Once her friends accepted her for who she was she was then able
to get the help needed from a phsycologist, and that this has worked.
5.There are no stereotypes that can be pinpointed as vulnerable and so all youngsters need education in this area.
All seemed to make sense really.. I think that there may not be a stereotype but it was no suprise that she said she had been bullied. I`m sure those that are bullied must be more likely to self harm.??

Yeah.. pretty much the reason why people *cough* I *cough* had done it was bullying or whatever

Good point. Although I don't think bullying is directly linked to self-harming. Low self-esteem is a result of bullying which can then further onto self-harm, so it's kind of a by-product.
