I'm in the USA. Self inflicted injury, like cutting, is a problem that happens in the USA. Does this happen in your country? What country are you in? There's alot of problems, such as homelessness. Is there homelessness in your country? What are the problems in your country that are special to your country? Or do we have global problems because we're all human?

I think these things are global.
I am from South Africa - and maybe we have some problems that aren't common in America.
Child rape has become a daily occurence; some say it is because people believe that raping a child will cure their HIV (SCARY HUUH?). In South Africa AIDS kills many people - more than in the USA as far as I know.
We also have homelessness, and self mutilation/cutting is also common here (although more so with the white people than other population groups).
At the end of the day we all have a pretty similiar experiene throughout the world.
It will be interesting to see what everyone else has to say about this! Good discussion topic :)

Thank you for responding! It seems self mutilation/cutting in the USA is specific to white youth also.

strangely for our clean and green country, littering is a problem. haha... it does appear it will take a lot to curb this problem.

I am from India, there are problems galore here, but most rampant I think is spitting & peeing on the road in full public view. Roads are soo dirty, you hardly feel like walking, but in a poor country like ours, few can afford cars

Dirty streets are a problem in some parts of cities in the USA. Many people must walk here also.
