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.
