child hitting themselves when upset Poll of the Day
blog Jul 04, 2022
That’s a story that I’ve heard many times, but it always ends the same way. A child hits themselves when they are upset. When they grow up they hit themselves when they are frustrated, when they are angry, when they are scared or confused.
In my experience, people who hit themselves when they are angry are usually pretty angry themselves. That doesn’t mean there isn’t a point where hitting yourself causes you to commit suicide. There is, and that point is usually when you’re having a bad day and hitting yourself is the only way to feel better.
That’s the point where you hit yourself because you just realized that you were having a bad day. A bad day is generally the day you have a bad day, so hitting yourself when you are having a bad day is the only way to feel better. I don’t know if that’s right or not, but it is the only way I know to feel better.
Again, hitting yourself is not the same as a suicide attempt. Suicide is when you kill yourself. A suicide attempt is when you kill yourself to feel better.
Suicide attempts are a terrible way to feel better. In fact, more people die jumping off buildings in the name of feeling better than they do from suicide attempts. But suicide is a terrible thing to do and a bad thing to do.
As many of you know, when I was a child I hit my self when I was upset. I don’t know if it was a suicide attempt or just because I was too upset. I guess I hit myself because it was easier to do it then than to try and tell my parents. I don’t think I could have handled it any better if I were my parents.
Suicide attempts are the leading cause of death for teens over 15. And that’s the good news. The bad news is that it is so hard to prevent them. And that’s why child hitting yourself is such a big problem. Self-harm is a big problem too, and in fact, it’s the number two cause of death for teen suicide.
Not sure if this is just my family, but I do wonder sometimes if the self-harm problem is more of a cultural problem than a personal one. I grew up in an age where people really did not talk about self-harm, and I can hear just how awful that was. There are a lot of examples of kids using knives and other cutting implements to try to kill themselves. It’s a real problem, and it’s not as uncommon as you think.
I’m not sure I buy this. I think it is because a lot of it is socially acceptable to kill yourself, but not in front of your friends or the people you care about. Of course this is why you need to take a minute to think about your actions before you do it.
As a parent, many times we end up overreacting to the way our children act out. They’ve got a lot of issues and they’re kids. If you’ve got kids you don’t know how to handle, sometimes you have to get them to tell you what’s wrong or what’s going to happen next. As a parent, you don’t always know what to say, depending on the child and the situation. It’s a tough spot to be in.
