Essay

Self Injury
Before I read you this essay lets talk bout the insurance company do you think they should pay for the stuff that them teenagers do. I don’t think they should.
In the book cut self injury was affective throughout the book like the girls going to the bathroom and cutting themselves. Teens use self injury because of stress or they just want to. It’s not going to be easy to tell them teens to stop using self injury, because once they do it one time for the heck of it there not going to stop.
Although self injury is rarely a suicidal act, it need to be taken seriously because accidental deaths do occur. Self Injury is an infliction of tissue damage or alteration to thereself without suicidal intent. The relationship between self injury and suicide is very complex, self injury may be life threatening, with or without in touch with suicide.
When self injury is associated with depression, antidepressant drugs and treatments may be effective. Here some examples of self injury hair pulling, picking skin off, excessive or dangerous use of cutting themselves. Parents and grandparents didn’t use self injury. Deciding to stop self injury is a very personal decision.You may have to consider it before you decide that your ready to commit to a life without scars and bruises.
Don’t be discouraged if you conclude it isn’t right you to stop yet. But the right thing to do is stop doing it. So if you think about starting to cut yourself like Callie did in the book cut don’t say I didn’t try to help you

  1. Insurance should pay or insurance should not pay? I am not sure what you decided. Your approach presented an interesting point of view as you addressed the fact that cutters are subjecting themselves to a life of permanent scars. I look forward to sharing more post in 2010.
