The Rates of Suicide and body disorders are too high and need to be lowered now!


 * Summary: **
 * Self-harm is growing in teens today. These teens burn themselves, swallow metal objects or bang their heads on walls just to feel numb or just to feel something. Some teens have no control over what they are doing because they feel so helpless, which is why they harm themselves. Cutting is a popular type of self harm, which is when most people cut their arms or wrists and use razors, glass or even their fingernails. Another type of self-harm is eating disorders. Two kinds of these disorders are anorexia and bulimia. Anorexia is characterized by a a person's refusal to maintain a healthy body weight. However, bulimia is characterized by periods of binge eating and purging. All of these types of self-harm can lead to suicide. Suicide is being seen as a quick way to solve problems for those who are depressed. **
