Sorry - I don't see the difference between SI and drinking or drugs - all harm the body, and drinking/durgs call kill just as easily, or slowly kill the liver.

I think self injury raises many questions about someone's behavior that needs to be answered. The first question is why the person has resorted to SI instead of drinking, drugs etc.,

SI has been linked to a higher risk of suicide. Most people assume then that anyone that SI's is depressed and/or suicidal. That is not always the case.

The more education people have about SI the easier it will be to recognize this behavior and offer help.
