Self Abuse

Self abuse is the worst form of the abuse. People do it every day. Making excuses, blaming others and otherwise denying their own responsibility, not taking action and waiting for someone to save them.

It affects everyone in their web of life - the people who care for them, who try to help them despite them and who inadvertently enable them. It decreases the value of not only themselves but everyone that they touch.

Self abuse should be limited to masturbation. The victim there doesn't complain and no one else need get involved. If the victim complains, they're doing it wrong... and will probably blame someone else.
