This reminded me of my very first morning in the hospital. I was 16 at the time. A 13 year old girl came into my room and introduced herself. She told me why she was there and proudly showed me her self-harm scars. I was shocked since I never seen or heard of that before. She explained how she did it and then pulled out a piece metal that once a part of a pop can.

This happened in a pediatric hospital. A lot of the patients were into self-harm and teaching others how to do it. I never experienced that in any of the adult psychiatric units I was on.
