Results from questionare. After putting the results from my questionnaire onto graphs, I decided to put them on here for all those that wanted to see them as I thought you may be interested in looking at them. I thought I'd start with what caused people to start self-harming.
Most people have more than one reason why they started.
As it can be seen from the graph, there isn't one reason which stands out greatly from the rest. As many people jump to the conclusion that all self-harmers have been abused, this clearly isn't the case. Though there still are many people who have been abused, there are also many other reasons why people started self-harming, which must be given as much attention. It contains 15 different answers, with 3 people being the most for an answer. I thought that I would also do a graph to show the number of people who still harm for the same reasons as to why they started, and to show how many people harm for different reasons.
