My Reactions:
According to Jessica Bennett in “Why She Cuts,” Becki Baynato, who suffered in self-injury for many years, started to injure herself with a broken glass when she was 13. She’d cut for several times a day, sometimes happening a dozen time a day. When she could not handle the pressure and felt being one lone, she hurt herself even during class. She explains that by cutting herself, she could feel a strange calmness and a sense of relief.
After reading the news, I am extremely shock by the self-embedding cases. They use more than one way to hurt themselves in order to get more satisfaction. I cannot imagine how terrific they had implanted objects under their skin. They believed that it made them forget all the pressure and unhappiness going in their life. But, I do not agree with what they think. Maybe at first, just an impulse, as soon as it became a habit, your life will be ruined and changed entirely. Therefore, we have to focus on the problem and pay attention to those who suffer in self-injury since it is the sign of attempting to kill oneself. As Becki said, education is a key to help those like her who are suffering. However, schools are responsible to bring message of understanding self-injury and help them to wake up.
