Self-Injury Support Group
Whether you or someone you know or love struggles with self-injury, this is the community to discuss your experience, find support, meet others going through the same, and get advice on how to stop. Working together, we can help find alternative coping skills to reduce the urge to self-harm.
I am just curious as to what the age group for SI is. It seems like mainly teens but then again maybe not. I am just wondering what the average age group is and what the average length of time people struggle with it is. Below please comment with the age you were when you first started SI and the age you stopped or if you still do comment with the age you are and state that you are still self injuring. Very interested to see what the results are.
