Self-Destructive Behavior in Teens

I did not like the book cut and I know most of my class did, but we are all starting to understand it more and more now that we wrote the essays about Self-Destructive Behavior. I hat don’t think that the insurance should pay for people that have Self-Destructive Behavior. One reason is that the insurance should not have to pay for something someone is doing to themselves just so they can get control. They can get help from schools and community members so everything will go smoother.

Self-Destructive Behavior can be defined as self-mutilation or a desperate attempt to have control! It may be control over unbearable feelings of loneliness and helplessness or they cold have problems at home. A widely used phrase describing a broad set of extreme actions and emotions including harming themselves and drug abuse. It can talk a variety of forms, and be undertaken for a variety of reasons. It is most visible in teens and adolescents, but it may affect people of all ages. Examples are cutting and burning.

Teen participate in Self-Destructive behavior to mutilate his or her own body or experts say it’s a process that stems from the inability to sort out stress or intense emotions. Teen have not learned healthy ways of managing these intense feelings they turn to physical pain a way to blot out the emotional pain or try to gain a sense of control over the pain they feel. A strange way they are really not trying to hunt themselves they are trying to protect themselves from something even more painful than the harm to their body.

Self-Destructive behavior is more predominant today than when our parents or grandparents were teens because there is more drugs and sexual behavior which can lead up to Self-Destructive behavior. Some people also thank teen music also has something to do with it.
Perhaps the word “turbulent” is most apt in describing the average teen experience. Issues like self-image, depression, and peer pressure exert enormous pressure as teen move through adolescence today. As a result, they may run into difficulties dealing with these issues by themselves. Some of the most destructive forces in a teen’s life come from adolescent expression of emotion---anger, sadness, confusion all may manifest themselves in dangerous bursts.

To help teens that participates in Self-Destructive Behavior
Schools, communities, or an individual should look at these six steps.
Or someone cold send the teen to a facility so that they would stop Self-Destructive behavior.
1. Watch for self-mutilating actions such as cuts, burns and wounds to release tension. This is most common in teenagers who intentionally and repeatedly harm their body. Depression, anxiety and low self-esteem often accompany this behavior in young adults.

2. Observe if you are in a relationship that is abusive either physically or emotionally. Staying in a bad relationship and allowing your partner to take advantage of you and manipulate your decisions leads to loss of self-respect.


3. Recognize your ability to say no when something is beyond your capacity. When you compromise your needs and goals by overworking to satisfy others, you encourage resentment. Depriving your body of proper rest and nutrition and working hard to please others is a clear sign of self-destructive behavior.

4. Supervise your money management to see if you spend money that is beyond your means. Shopping sprees and reckless spending may provide immediate gratification. In the long run, they affect your financial stability and emotional wellbeing.
5. Examine whether you hold others responsible for your life choices and consequences. This behavior leads to helplessness, causing anger. It creates self-doubt, restricting you from making changes in your life.

6. Monitor your eating habits to understand if you overeat to suppress negative emotions.


In the book Cut, Callie cuts herself and they send her to a place where they can help her to stop cutting herself. She can finally go home and see her little brother that got sick and made her start cutting herself so she would fill better.

Insurance companies should not pay for self-destructive behavior. People have a choice to self-destruct or not! Try behavior management! Therefore insurance companies should not pay.
