I spoke with my T about this and if by telling kids about it they might be inadvertently promoting exploration. I mentioned that I didn't think it was as prevalent or as visible as other addictive behaviors. She said that SI is increasing and is now considered typical adolescent behavior. She said that by jr hs most kids come in contact with kids who SI. I didn't realize this. Thanks to PC and my T I have more information about this. I also had a quick conversation about something I do that is borderline.
