This shows that different people need to harm themselves at different rates to deal with their problems. Next is a graph to show the age at which people start self-harming. This is varied and due to different factors. 62 people out of 105, started harming between the ages of 11-15. Though this is more than half the people, it should be noted that the reasons behind people starting are all different.
Some people start harming straight after a stressful event whereas some people start years later.
This could be due to them remembering things which happened in the past that they've previously forgotten and now remember due to a trigger. Next is a graph to show how long people have been harming for. I put this in to show that it's not a short-term thing rather than to show how long people harm before they stop. Out of the 180 people who have replied to my questionnaire, only 8 of them have stopped harming. And out of those 8, only 5 of them have told me how long they harmed for.
