The BBC documentary
 

So if there's another thread like this-just delete it!
But is anyone thinking about taking part in that BBC documentary?

I'm not going to take part. I'd love to if it was anonymous but can't bear the shame of telling all on tv and then having to go into work or something...

No friggin way, i already embarassed myself last time >_<

I'd do it, then realized I hate cameras...

I just called the chick-but she's not in her office. So I left her a message. I think I sounded afraid. Althogh her voicemail greeting sounded lovely.

I think she'd be the one not wanting me, my life is incrediably boring.

I guess it would be ok, also good it's not a huge camera crew, that would freak me out.
But yeah, I left her an email the other day, more asking questions than being commital.
But eeeesh. Sounds pretty good.

Yeah my life is seriously boring. What the heck would they even do?

I didn't know they were making one, i'd kinda like to but i couldn't have my parents seeing that.

I was chosen to take part in 'The farm of fussy eaters', they filmed me, my Dad & my Friends. I dropped out due to circumstances changing & they couldn't even be bothered to Email me back to say 'thanks for letting us know/thats a shame/good luck' etc.

I realised that they didn't give a sh*t about me or my problems or about helping me. They just wanted TV. I watched the programme & they just wanted a freak show.

I'd like to think that the BBC would be different & would be doing it for educational purposes...all I'm saying is BE CAREFUL, don't let them make you out to be something you're not.

I sent her an e-mail yesterday evening; no reply yet. I'm not 100% sure I want to be involved.

i would. but my would kill me

Oh Im sorry. What channel was that for?

They were called 'Leopard Films' It was for UkStyle or Living channel I think. They did 'Cash in the Attic' & the bootsale bargain type programmes.

i would love to do it, just to get it out there about self-harm.
i did email but got no reply yet.

I wasn't sure about it last night but after a lot of thinking. I'm certain I really want to take part-everyone in my school knows about me. I think setting the record straight and getting rid of the rumours and not to mention helping people would be totally worth it.

I'm up for it, although I'm not going to put myself in for sure until I know exactly what it involves.

id love to do it, but i just couldnt
its really good though that people are considering being involved, cus it will hopefully mean that the public might actually get a useful account and stuff

again, as has been said many times, i e-mailed her, but got no reply.
xxx

I'd like to, but I don't think I could go through it all coming out that way. A lot of people don't know anything about it with me. I'd feel bad if that was how they learnt it.

It does seam like a really good idea and stuff though!

I think the people who wanna take part are well brave! I'm way too shy for camera & talking about my self harm openly =S

I aslo e-mailed her but havent had a reply back yet!

I also sent an email.

I think alot of people sent emails, so give it some time, she will be a busy women after all :)

Personally i dont know, would be a good way to tell the parents though ha ha

I was going to do it, then I realised I would not be allowed to as she would not be allowed to film me whilst working as work is mad enough already at me

I emailed too a few days ago and I got a call back today asking for some history, if people living with me willbe supportive or not, and about the best time to meet with the director but then my phone battery ran out so I'm not sure whats happening.

Everyone else that has emailed just be patient I understand she has a big pile to work through, but se sounds absolutely lovely.

My daddy works with her *thinks* well not with her but he works at the BBC and I was like do you know this person by any chance? And he was like yeah I've heard of her actually haha okay this is getting really random...

Yeah I might take part...I need to talk it through with my boyfriend first me thinks and he's on holiday grrr

i dont know if my mum would let me do it, but im not going to tell her untell i get an email back.

Yeah, I emailed too. I said I wasn't sure about doing the whole being followed and filmed for 3 weeks thing (honestly, I don't do anything anyway!), but I was definitely interested in having some involvement. Not had a reply yet, but like other people have said, she's probably really busy.
Also, anyone else hit the 'Send' button and then think 'Oh my God, what have I done'? Lol. I'm back to thinking it could be a good idea now though.

I said I might be interested when I emailed her.

I think I'd actually love to do it, but my parents might not, but I'm going to talk to my psych about it because if she thinks it's an ok idea then she can easily persuade my parents.

Most people don't know about my SI, but my close friends do (and family) so I wouldn't feel guilty about other people only finding out by TV, I doubt most people would actually watch it to be honest...

I'm taking part, i am already guaranteed a part.
i spent 30 minutes last night talking to a researcher about me!
its going to be so cool ^_^

Oh hell no.
I don't particularly feel the need to tell the entire UK that I self harm.

me to :blush:

Despite being in Australia, I was thinking of this in bed the other night [I'm so cool] and I realised that I would be so easy to film.

Just put the camera on a tripod & point it at my laptop.
<3
Yah. That's one interesting doco.

yeah shes on holiday right now, one of her work mates is trying to get round people. some people might not even get a phone call, you never know.
i was lucky, i was the first person to sign up and i got in

Was that by just Emailing her sweetie? :-D

xx <3 helen

yaha all i did was email her

lucky you!
I want to be in it :D

xx

Good luck :-)
Make sure you shine your shoes, 'n stuff!

*giggles at Aimee*
You should do your own special Aussie version

I really can't decide whether I want to do it or not so I'm going to let fate decide. If she emails me back and is interested I'll do it if not and too many people have already got a part it was never meant to be!

That's a good way to look at it, Chloe.
:)

Hehe, I got an email back :)
x

thats great Kerry what did it say???

i would rly love to take part but i know that
1, my life is boring
2, if i went to my town i would get beeten up
3 my parents would kill me
grr

I've emailed her. I want to be a part of this, and I think that my circumstances are quite interesting for a documentary, with me being in a specialist self harm unit and all.

I phoned and left a voicemail. She rang me and we chatted, and she's gonna ring me back on monday afternoon, after she's spoken to emma.

lolzzz.
i'm not going to be in it. i can't think of anything worse.

Linda, you should totally do it.
that'd make my life.

i'd only give cutters a bad name, haha.
i'm one of those attention seeking ones, anyway. who cut with paper clips & then SHOW THEM AROUNDDD to all my friends trying to get as much sympathy as possible.

I think i jus said id like it to focus on older people rather than the whole sterotypic schoolie teenager.
