Hello, my first comment, but I've been reading for awhile. I watched one of those school's programmes (the joys of working the weekends) not that long ago, that was about self-harm and talked to some teenagers who are/have been self harmers. The programme started by saying not all self-harmers are the same, and then featured four individuals that I would say were goths (although one called herself an emo-girl - which is different apparently) If we'd been shown that when I was at school half the class would have used it as a chance for a bit of goth-bashing, and the other half would have attacked the negative stereotypes of people who choose to wear black. I work with kids, I'd like to think they are getting the right support and advice to tackle difficult issues.
