Self-harm hospital admissions of children show 'frightening rise' Self-harming was a massive release for Sophie at a difficult time in her life, but she ended up in hospital aged 15 - like thousands of other children in England and Wales.
The children's charity NSPCC says nearly 19,000 children were admitted to hospital after harming themselves last year - a 14% rise over three years.
It called the figures "frightening".
And it said they should be a "wake-up call" to all those who care about the wellbeing of young people. BBC News
