Why do you think so many teens are self harming & unable to cope?

[JORGE N]

Probably because their parents were self harming unable to cope types themselves. And they got it from their parents who got it from their ancestors and this could be a trait that has been handed down from generation to generation. Now add all of that and a few new ways to be self harming and unable to cope and there you have it, a self harming and unable to cope kid with his or her own spin to it. And that will probably be enhanced and perfected and then handed down to the next generation to carry on the tradition.
