On 22.04.2023, our fellow organized perspective building on masculinity at Thookkanampakkam village, Cuddalore district. Previous sessions were reminded and feedback was shared by participants. Then, session 12, Self-harm was taken. What are the reasons for a person to self-harm? How do they harass? was asked. The group members answered. They came one by one and wrote their ideas on the chart. The young people each wrote down what caused them to torture themselves. They wrote in the chart that they are unable to control their anger, family problems, money fraud, failure in exams, unemployment, debt problems, love failure, marriage life going wrong, family burdens. Then it was asked how everything torments itself.Isolation, suicide attempts, drug addiction, tearing hands, not eating properly, tearing clothes, not talking to anyone, hating others, loss of job, lack of concentration in any activity, etc. others were given to explain what was written on the chart. Then, the fellow told them the missing information and concluded the session briefly.
