Abstract

Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a growing concern among adolescents and adults, with a rate of 27% among junior and senior high school students. NSSI refers to self-injury that is not intended to cause death, but rather is a way for individuals to cope with emotional pain or distress. This research found that several factors contribute to NSSI among adolescents and adults, including family, social, school, and personal issues. To address this issue, several solutions can be implemented. Firstly, parents must be more attentive to their teenagers, providing support and creating a safe environment where they can talk about their emotions. Secondly, schools should reduce pressure on students and educate them on NSSI. This will help students understand the serious consequences of self-injury and how to seek help if needed. Lastly, society as a whole should improve its understanding of NSSI and create a supportive environment that encourages seeking help for emotional distress. In conclusion, NSSI is a serious issue that requires attention and action from parents, teachers, and society. By understanding the factors that contribute to self-injury and implementing solutions, people can work together to prevent and alleviate this behavior among adolescents.
