In 2001-02, there were 22,530 cases of hospitalised self-harm.
Where the hell is society going wrong! When did we stop listening? What is wrong with the planet, the community, the family...when the only way a child feels she can be heard is to cut her own flesh!
When the only release she has from pain is to slice her arms, her legs. her stomach. When the only safety, the security she knows is when blood flows out of her body.What does it take, How long does this go on before we acknowledge that something is seriously wrong with our society. This is not the child's problem, it is ours, we all have a responsibility to the kids of our world. We need to listen to them, no matter how much we don't want to hear what they are saying, or what defenses they put up, or how hard it is...
Don't give me all the psycho-babble of why they do it! Put some money into sorting it, lets start being proactive instead of just trying to sort it after the event. Pretend it doesnt happen and leave it to others to clean up after them.They need us so very much and often, cutting themselves, is there only way of saying to say it.
