Self-injury and suicide are considered two different acts. As a matter of fact, self-injury now has become known as non-suicidal self-injury. And that's because the act itself often will not end in suicide. Most people will cut themselves on their wrists or their legs or on places that will not be lethal. That said, self-injury is a high risk factor for suicide. So even though it's a coping strategy, they're coping with things that are very difficult to deal with, if that coping strategy fails to work for them, they might go to a more extreme measure which is ending their life totally. There is some evidence, actually, that self-injury is a desensitization practice for suicide and that actually, the more people engage themselves in self-injury, the easier it is for them to go through with the suicidal act.
