Among teenagers, some popular online topics or challenges may trigger the urge to self-harm. These topics usually involve issues such as stress, anxiety, and self-image.

Although they are not directly aimed at self-harm, they may indirectly trigger teenagers to engage in self-harm behaviors. 7. **The prevalence of mental health topics**: While discussing mental health is important, irresponsible discussions may make adolescents with mental problems feel isolated and helpless, increasing the risk of self-harm. Guardians, educators, and mental health professionals should pay attention to adolescents' online activities and provide support and correct information to help them cope with possible negative impacts.
