AB  - BACKGROUND: Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) refers to the deliberate, 
      self-inflicted destruction of body tissue without suicidal intent and for 
      purposes not socially sanctioned. The aim of this study was to explore the 
      variety of self-injury behaviors as well as the function of NSSI among 
      adolescents in South-East Serbia. METHODS: The study included 50 adolescents of 
      both sexes, aged 13-18 years, who had deliberately engaged in self-injury at 
      least once. A general socio-demographic questionnaire and the Inventory of 
      Statements About Self-Injury (ISAS) were used in the study. RESULTS: The average 
      age of the respondents was 15 (1.17); the most common NSSI methods were cutting 
      (60%), followed by biting and severe scratching (14%); the average age of onset 
      was 14.12 (0.77); the majority confirmed experiencing pain during self-injury 
      (42%); the respondents more commonly performed NSSI when they were alone (68,0%); 
      in 90% of the cases, the time elapsed between sensing the urge to self-injury and 
      acting on it was less than 1 h; the majority of the respondents stated that they 
      did not want to stop self-injuring (56%). In terms of the NSSI function, the 
      obtained scores were the highest for affect regulation 3.36 (1.47), 
      self-punishment 1.90 (1.39) and marking distress 1.72 (1.26). In terms of gender, 
      there was a statistically significant difference for the antidissociation 
      (P = .043), interpersonal influence (P = .004) and revenge (P = .019). 
      CONCLUSION: The results may have practical implications when it comes to taking 
      preventive and therapeutic measures in the vulnerable adolescent population.
