“…As a precaution, peers who do not have a self-harm behavior can be a good prevention for adolescents with self-harm behavior to build healthy friendships to support the mentality of adolescents (Doyle, 2017), get health services, school services, telephone counseling or online support through counseling (Lawrence et al, 2015). Various types of interventions that can be done related to self-harm are treatment as usual (TAU), placebo, pharmacological care, CBT, dialectical behavior therapy, problem-solving therapy, and psychosocial treatments that have various treatment levels such as level 1for well-established, level 2 for probably efficacious, and level 3 for possibly efficacious (Glenn, Franklin, & Nock, 2015;K.…”

The stage of development is the stage where a child begins to grow up from childhood to a more mature stage. The figures in psychology have explained various theories about the importance of adolescent development. Teenagers will go through certain stages to reach maturity. Adolescent development is characterized by physical changes, ways of thinking, language, and socioemotional. Principles from the developmental stage are produced through biology, environment, and experience. Support from parents, school environment, and peers are crucial during the development stage. This article discusses some of the psychological problems which occur among adolescents during the past six years, along with preventive and intervening actions. Neglection, self-harm, smoking behavior, suicidal behavior, substance abuse, eating behavior, sexual behavior, bullying, and the use of internet & games are parts of psychological problems. This article suggests all parties, especially parents and teachers, to have a better understanding of problems among adolescents. Adolescents' mental health needs to be addressed appropriately to help them pass the development stages successfully.

“…Normalization and imitation of self-harm may occur within adolescent peer groups, which may promote bonding and reinforce group identity (Jarvi et al, 2013;You et al, 2013;Young et al, 2014). As such, evidence indicates that adolescents can impact, and be impacted by, their friends' self-harm in multiple ways (Doyle, 2017). However, despite friends' distinctively important position, their experiences and outcomes remain poorly understood (Hilt et al, 2008).…”

IntroductionSelf-harm amongst young people is becoming increasingly prevalent. Understanding, responding to, and supporting young people who self-harm is vital. Friends are typically the first and sometimes the only source of support sought by adolescents who self-harm. Despite their important role as confidants, friends' perspectives and experiences remain poorly understood.MethodsWe conducted retrospective qualitative semi-structured interviews, prompted by an adapted version of the Card Sort Task for Self-Harm (CaTS-FF), about the experiences of nine female young adults (18-20 years old) who supported a friend who self-harmed during adolescence. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis.ResultsFour themes were developed: (1) “I did not realize my friend was on the road to self-harm”: Friends' reactions to self-harm; (2) “That's what friends do”: the role of friends; (3) The impact of supporting a friend who self-harms; and (4) “They were quite formative years”: reflecting on growth through the experience.DiscussionThe present findings highlight the complex experiences of young people supporting a friend who self-harms. Despite being willing to take on the role of a supporter, participants experienced a range of difficult emotions and consequences. The temporal transition running through the four themes reflects the evolving nature of participants' attitudes, knowledge, and friendships. Overall, results highlight the unmet needs of adolescents supporting young people who self-harm, as well as identifying potential pathways to “support the supporters” toward resilience.

“…Self-harm rates among adolescents in the United States and China are 17.6% (Monto et al, 2018) and 22.4% (Lang & Yao, 2018), respectively. Self-harm is closely related to psychological distress (Doyle, 2017; Laye-Gindhu & Schonert-Reichl, 2005). With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the prevalence of self-harm exploded (e.g., increased from 17.7% to 27.6% during the pandemic of 2020–2021 in Sweden; Zetterqvist et al, 2021).…”

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has increased the risk of psychological distress among adolescents. Moreover, adolescents in 70 countries have suffered simultaneously from the COVID-19 pandemic and flood disasters. Research on the protective role of mindfulness on psychological distress is warranted; moreover, the practical needs arising from disasters require a deeper understanding of the potentially complex interplay between mindfulness and psychological distress. Using social–ecological systems theory, this study examined the moderating effects of self-harm and negotiable fate on the relationship between mindfulness and psychological distress in adolescents suffering from concurrent dual disasters (COVID-19 and flood disasters). High school adolescents ( N = 1679; 49.3% adolescent boys) in Zhengzhou, China, completed the Child and Adolescent Mindfulness Measure, Suicide Thoughts and Behaviors Checklist, Negotiable Fate Questionnaire, and Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21. A three-way interaction model was developed. The results indicate that mindfulness has a significant negative relationship with psychological distress during disasters. Moreover, self-harm and negotiable fate significantly moderated the negative associations between mindfulness and psychological distress in adolescents enduring concurrent dual disasters (three-way interaction effects model). These findings highlight the significance of the interactions between different ecological system factors in the negative associations between mindfulness and psychological distress amid disasters.
