Self-embedding Disorder

This story caught my attention found in the Chicago Tribune. 

If you click on the image above and look at it at full size, you'll notice a straightened paper clip that has been embeded into a teen's arm. Personnel at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, report extracting 52 foreign objects that 10 teenage girls deliberately embedded in their arms, hands, feet, ankles and necks over the last three years, including needles, staples, wood, stone, glass, pencil lead and a crayon. One patient had inserted 11 objects, including an unfolded metal paper clip more than 6 inches long. Self-injury is not a new trend among kids, but this appears to be a new form called "self-embedding disorder." To read further, click here.
