Helping Self-Harming Students, by Matthew D. Selekman, Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development: Educational Leadership Health and Learning Archives, Jan 2010.

“Schools can reduce the likelihood of self-harming epidemics and manage student difficulties when they occur by following a few practical guidelines. Student self-harming is one of the most perplexing and challenging behaviors that administrators, teachers, nurses, and counseling staff encounter in their schools. Approximately 14 to 17 percent of children up to age 18 have deliberately cut, scratched, pinched, burned, or bruised themselves at least once (Whitlock, 2009), with 5 to 8 percent of adolescents actively engaging in this behavior (J. Whitlock, personal communication, September 27, 2009). ”
