Some people experience more turmoil during their teen years than at any other time in their lives.
Some teenagers might try to cope with their problems and difficulties by harming themselves. Some cut themselves while others burn their skin pull their hair out from their roots or bang themselves on hard objects until they bruise or break a bone. These behaviors can indicate signs of frustration and in a severe form are known as self-mutilation. For many teens self-mutilation is a growing problem.
