Self Injury has become a major problem across America's youth and one that has become taboo for many families. The problem has mainly affected females who are under enormous pressure whether its school, their parents, or relationships they are currently involed in. It's tough concept for some to understand why someone would harm themselves to rid themselves of pain but as Dr. Dave Moore Explains:

The physical pain of cutting relieves this psychological and physical tension almost immediately.

This conditon often exists along side other conditions such as eating disorders, or may be a form of repression for sexual abuse in the past. Those who suffer with self injury are not insane, demonic, or anything of the sort but they do need the support of their friends and family to end the cutting.

For some reason there is a gender bias with many more females cutting then males, what is the reason behind that?
