How stressful life events influence adolescents to self-harm

Abstract

This study explores how 100 Greek adolescents both males and males deliberately harm themselves and how the stresfull life events they experience influence their decision. The CASE study (2008) questionnaire was given 14–17 years old adolescents to self-report on the situations they are experiencing and the episodes of self-harm. There were statistically significant differences for those stressful life events and students who reported to self-harm. It seems that having problems keeping up with school work is statistically significant between those who self harm and those who do not (χ 2 (2, n =100)=14.3, P 2 (2, n =100)=8.5, P 2 (2, n =100)=8.4, P 2 (2, n =100)=3.9, P 2 (2, n =100)=0.2, P 2 (2, n =100)=12.2, P 2 (2, n =100)=10.6, P 2 (2, n =100)=19.8, P
