Answer:
- A conversation about self-harm may give a person the idea to attempt it.
Step-by-step explanation:
As a former self-harmer, myself I love to talk about / debunk these ideas. Having an open and honest converstaion about it doesn't usually lead people down the path of trying it.
- Agitation or uncontrolled anger may be exhibited by a self-harmer
This is true, this is a big secret to carry around and it makes us very tense and emotional, and its's usually lashed out in a way that is seen as irrational.
- Reckless, risk-taking activities can be a warning sign of self-harm
While not shown among everyone who self harms, this is true. Reckless behavior leds down to a numbing of the feelings and/or thoughts that we are trying to supress with the act of self harm.
- Withdrawing from family, friends, and social settings is a warning sign.
Also true, spending less time around people makes us feel safer and like our secret wont come out.
Mind you! These signs can also be shown by people who aren't self harming, but it is still good to gently check up on anyone who is showing these signs.
