Self-harmers come from all walks of life regardless of:

	gender
	age
	ethnicity
	religion
	ability/disability
	background
	education
	social class
	sexuality
	culture

Many people use self-harming behaviours to cope with their feelings on a regular basis. Behaviours such as comfort eating, gambling, driving too fast, "retail therapy", a glass or two of wine to relax and so on may be socially acceptable but are nevertheless self-harming, even though they are not always recognized as such.

Wealth and celebrity do not preclude people from self-harming!
