Self-harm among youth surges 22%

A study by the National Suicide Research Foundation also found a rise in the use of “lethal methods” of self-harming, which might be linked to exposure to certain websites, and a rise in the rate of self-harming among those aged 10 to 14.
However, the rate of self-harming was most pronounced among those aged 20-24 and those aged 15-19.
