In this shocking story, teenagers have been embedding objects into their skin. It's called self-embedding behavior. Some teenagers do it as a result in dealing with tough times. Eleven patients out of an age group of 14-18 year olds showed this kind of behavior. Some teens have been doing this for years. Teens embedded metal, plastic, crayons, and other objects directly into their skin or into a cut in their skin. With ultrasound, researchers detected objects that X-rays could not, and performed small incisions to remove the objects leaving little or no scarring.
Okay, who in their right mind would do that crap! That is so sick! Couldn't those kids just go have a cigarette or something? That is just crazy to cut yourself and the stick things in your skin. We used to have a kid in my high school science class that would staple himself all the time because he thought it was cool. All the other students just thought he was sick. Those kids are going to become sick with some sort of disease by sticking all those things in their skin. Lead poisoning, hepititus, tetnus, etc. I sure hope that the parents of those teen are getting them some help because that is just wrong. I would be mortified if it were my child that was doing that to themselves. Get a clue! If your teenager is doing this then maybe its time they went to see a counselor. I wonder if any of them died from cutting their skin open and putting those object in there. I'm sure the cuts would get infected. What would possess somebody to do that? It's a good thing technology is so advanced today that the doctors were able to detect the object and where they were embedded in the skin so that they could pull the items out.
That is really weird, I have never heard of such a thing. I don't know how that would relieve stress, that's just crazy to me. I knew a girl in school that would cut her self, to make her feel better, which I thought was weird, but to put stuff into your skin, that's not normal.
ReplyDeleteI read this and just cringed. I had foster children once who would cut themselves and that was horrible. I can't believe they would imbed things in their skin.
ReplyDeleteI could never imagine why someone would do that. That is just really bizarre and creepy. I can't even imagine why on earth someone would go as far as cutting themselves and putting an object into their skin. There's just no reason that I can think of that would make someone do that.
