(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)-More than 40% of teens who admitted drinking said they drink when they are upset; 31% said they drink alone; 25% said they drink when they are bored; and 25% said they drink to "get high." (U.S. Surgeon General, 1991)Nationally, nearly 40% of admissions to mental hospitals and 50% of arrests are alcohol-related. The minimum drinking age is 21 years.

SELF INJURY...Self injury may be inflicted upon the self in many ways, such as cutting oneself, banging limbs, burning / branding oneself, overdosing on medication, and other methods.This is not a conscious attempt at suicide, though some people may see it that way.You may be wondering why someone would intentionally harm themselves. Self-injury can help someone relieve intense feelings such as anger, sadness, loneliness, shame, guilt and emotional pain. Many people who cut themselves, do this in an attempt to try and release all the emotions they are feeling internally. Others may feel so numb, that seeing their own blood when they cut themselves, helps them to feel alive because they usually feel so dead inside. Some people find that dealing with physical pain is easier than dealing with emotional pain.If they were abused, they may feel ashamed, guilty and blame themselves for the abuse, which in turn causes them to feel the need to punish themselves by inflicting pain to their bodies.**Number of people hospitalized due to self-inflicted injury: 154,598 Source: Centers for Disease Control, 2005**Around 39% of teenage Americans Self Injure.If you self injure... Seek help talk to someone a friend, family, teacher, co worker... anyone... Try to stop... It doesn't help trust me, once you get sucked in it is hard to get out... It DOESN'T help.. It makes life worse... So stop self injuring and talk to someone...! Myspace Scroll Box Creator
