Injury on purpose is called self-harm.
Cutting is not a suicide attempt according to Dr.Rachel.
Some people self-harm in other ways other than cutting.
At the age of 14, self-harm typically starts for people until adulthood.
Wrists, arms, inner thighs, and stomachs are the most common area of the body.
Cutting is a hard topic to approach.
