Self-Harm fear for Lindsay
It is very sad that someone as gorgeous and talented as Lindsay Lohan seems
to feel so badly about herself that she may be resorting to self- harm.
 As Lohan, 20, was leaving a showbiz bash the other night, it was apparent
that she had scratches and what looked like a figure-of-eight burn on her
forearm.
In her past few public appearances Lindsay had taken to wearing bandages and wristbands to cover up these worrying marks, however, this time she did not and the cuts were available for everyone to see.
Experts of self-harm were incredibly worried last night that Miss Lohan’s
symptoms bore all the hallmarks of the grave condition, which is slowly
increasing among teenagers worldwide.
The troubled young actress has already admitted that she suffers from
anorexia and revealed only a few weeks ago that she dabbles with drugs.
At the World Music Awards on Wednesday at London’s Earl Court, Lindsay, who
was hosting the show, also wore a plaster on a right finger at the party – supposedly concealing another cut.
UK tabloid The Sun reported yesterday how Lohan repeatedly fluffed her lines
at the awards bash and was booed by the audience. She also fell down the
stairs while organisers had to keep her and Paris Hilton well apart.
Expert Jan Sutton, who has written two books on the subject of self-harm,
told The Sun: “ The photographs have all the telltale signs. The arms are
the most common place for self-injury. Some of the scars are fresh and just
above those there are a number of injuries which look older. They are called keloid scars and are just beginning to disappear. It would be difficult to argue this is an accident as there are just too many scars.”
Lindsay has obviously suffered a turbulent year, which is clearly
illustrated by her dramatic weight loss and wild child ways. She has even
told the press previously that she is scared she will die after years of
punishing her body and confessed recently that she has ‘hit rock bottom'.
Lindsay spoke about how anorexia has come back to haunt her. She said: “I
was making myself sick. Sometimes being that thin doesn’t look healthy. I
kind of didn’t realise that.
“I knew I had a problem and just could not admit it,” she continued. “My
arms were disgusting. I had no arms. I had people sit me down and say,
‘You’re going to die if you don’t take care of yourself.”
This is a sad case of how the Hollywood lifestyle can damage a girl who is
still turning into a woman. Lindsay, look after yourself and try to adopt
the mantra: your body is your temple – you will never get another one!
