The biggest misconception is that self-injury is an attempt to commit suicide. The person in question may feel so bad that he has had suicidal thoughts, but generally the two are unrelated. In most cases, the act of self-injury is an attempt to cope with those intense feelings, not die.
Here are the warning signs of self-injury:
Compulsive need to injure oneself by cutting, burning, hitting, scratching, or pulling hair
Re-injuring old wounds so they don't heal
Scarring, usually on arms, wrists, legs, abdomen, head, or chest
Attempts to hide arms or other body parts where injury occurred
Hoarding of sharp objects like razors
Person experiences a high from doing it
Consuming thoughts of self-injury, or the behavior interrupts normal daily functioning
In most cases, there is no intention of killing oneself, only to cope with or release intense feelings of pain
Usually self-injures when alone
If you experience any of these symptoms, you know that the behavior can feel all-consuming. You also need to know that there are people who want to support you in finding healthier ways of coping.
If you have a friend or roommate who is a self-injurer, it can be frightening and disturbing to be around this behavior. As difficult as it may be, do not attempt to stop or control someone's self-injury. You are not responsible for her behavior, and by interfering with her way of coping, you could do more harm than good. Trying to hide or take away self-injury tools, giving ultimatums, or "guilt tripping" your roommate into stopping only encourages more self-hatred and more self-injury. Instead, support your roommate by helping her express feelings and offering to listen without judgment.
Whether you are a self-injurer or know one, seeing a campus counselor can help you find ways to better deal with the behavior. You can learn more about the myths and facts of self injury from the American Self Harm Information Clearing House at www.selfinjury.org/indexnet.html. You can also call the SAFE Alternatives Program at 1-800-DON'T-CUT (1-800-366-8288).

Even if your reasons are not related to your job or potential career, getting an education is beneficial regardless if it is only for the sake of learning. After all, knowledge is power and the more you know, the easier time you will have in life.
Online Colleges as a Resource for Your New Career
Most online colleges require their students to work together in teams to fulfill their coursework obligations. The University of Phoenix Online, for example, requires weekly participation and discussion questions, 4 to 5 individual assignments, and 3-4 team assignments. Many other online programs have similar requirements. Contrary to a popular myth about going to school online, you won't be working on your education alone and isolated.
Online Nursing Degree For Busy Nurses
Notwithstanding this, many would like to advance their careers. To do this, nurses nearly always need to spend time studying. But, as we have said, nurses' free time is a premium - so how can a nurse combine study with work, when there is (a) so little time available; and (b) unfixed shift-hours to work? Luckily, with the advent of the Internet, one of the best answers available for nurses is to undertake an online nursing degree program.
Scholarships not Working for You Neither, Huh?
First of all, you should know that there aren't billions of dollars out there just waiting to fall in your lap. In fact most counselors and financial aid assitants wonder why this rather enormous figure is stated so often, but its not the case. So don't feel bad or think you "suck" because you haven't won some of this dough. However, there IS some money to be made out there that many people either overlook or figure it isnt worth pursuing. Trust me, its worth taking a look at and worth pursuing.
CRI Releases Its 2003-2004 College Graduate Survey
The results do not indicate any startling or unexpected results, and for the most part, they are consistent with other studies covering broader employee compensation trends.
College Tuition Costs are Spiralling
These are just some of the questions that concerned parents and aspiring students are asking themselves nowadays. It's hardly surprising when you look at the facts - a 51% increase in fee and tuition costs for public four year colleges and a 36% rise for private four year colleges in the last decade alone. This, coupled with the disproportionate income increases for families likely to have college age children, means that more and more often parents or students themselves are turning to direct loans or private college loans for help.

So...why does this happen? There are plenty of reasons why poor little freshmen come in skinny (I know... we'll have to make believe they came in skinny to begin with) and go back home after year one weighing in twenty pounds heavier. For the nerds, studying means munching. Chemistry? Not without chips. Pizza? Yeah, it helps with the math. This is all due to stress that accumulates with the pressure of performing well and acing those exams. Stress leads to "false" hunger; false because you're not really hungry and just need to do SOMETHING to keep from going crazy. Couple this with the fact that you are now on your own (for all of those out-of-towners). Fast food quickly becomes your best friend as its time efficient (even though you procrastinate so that's really pointless) and keeps the need for cooking knowledge at a basic minimum. Why study the art of making some rice when you can just by a cheeseburger at McDonald's?
