In the U.K. the Royal College of Psychiatrists has called for a ban on web sites which promote self-harm in teenagers. The latest figures show that 2,727 people under 25 were admitted to hospital after deliberately harming themselves with a sharp object, up from 1,758 in 2004/5. One in ten people are thought to engage in self-harm at some point in their lives and Britain has one of the highest rates in Europe.
