		<description>I think this survey indicates that what may have been perceived as a female problem clearly is not. Self-injury statistics are increasing worldwide. Additional research should be done in order to identify some common root causes that are not limited to geographic or cultural boundaries. Once a problem like this is identified, a strategic plan for education and treatment can be created.</description>

		<description>I wonder if the age difference has to do with the difference in culture whereby teens in the U.S. feel lost and hopeless at an earlier age than young Japanese people. Most Japanese teens have a focal point and concrete short-term goals then they graduate from college and get into jobs they may find disappointing at which point they find themselves a bit lost sometimes. It may be worse for women because they have less fulfilling jobs by and large.</description>
