Best Answer

Self harm is when a person deliberately sets out to harm themselves usually without the intention of killing themselves

The practice of injuring yourself, especially by cutting, in order to relieve emotional distress.
an example would be, cutting yourself, burning yourself, hiding yourself to leave bruises, anything physically hurting yourself. Abusing your body on purpose.

Yes, self-harm is harmful both physically and mentally. It is not a healthy coping mechanism and can lead to serious consequences. Seeking help from a mental health professional is important in finding healthier ways to cope with emotional distress.

Yes, it's obviously not good. But it is not immoral and the sufferer should not be frowned upon or isolated. They just need help.

Hurting yourself on purpose in order to fulfill a need for pain is self harm, no matter where it is or how you do it. However, habit and addiction are different. People who pick at their nails until they bleed usually do not self harm, but suffer from a bad habit. However, if it is to fulfill a desire for pain, it is considered self harm and it should never be done. It can develop into an awful addiction that will never completely go away.
