The human experience is complex.  Teenagers are trying to figure it all out.  More so than at perhaps any stage of life, this quest often leads to potentially self-destructive behaviors.  Unfortunately, some of these are painfully self-inflicted...and on the rise.  "Cutting" is one of these.

As an administrator, particularly in middle schools, I was associated with a number of students who engaged in this activity.  They are not always troubled souls.  At times, some young people are just too experimental for their own good.  Of course, there are other motivations and explanations.

The article below is interesting and instructive.  Click on the image for the full article from Time/CNN.
