Self-harming among teenage girls have doubled in England compared to boys due to the stress of school work and impact of social media.

‘Hospital admission of young girls for self-harm doubled in 20 years when compared to boys resulting from the demands and needs of modern-day life.’

Sadly these numbers are not surprising as many children are being forced to self-harm as a way of dealing with the pressures and needs of modern-day life, reported Childline services.




An important step in stopping the children from self-harm is to ensure every youngster to feel confident and that they will be supported when they speak up which can end the vicious cycle.
15,376 counseling sessions were given by NSPCC about self-harm last year, and an additional £300 million would be funded to provide more help in schools, including educating staff to support children faster.
