Here in Germany, the media also says a lot about "SI = borderline" or what is newer "SI = emo" but the borderline label is used more often.

There are at least two big German homepages about SI but SI is still quite a taboo, although the media says a lot about SIing (but in a bad tone).

But when it comes to confessing that you SI to friends and family most people react in a positive way and what is even more surprising almost everyone had known before at least one person who SIs and some even says that they did it, too.
Well, they still want YOU to stop and most people cannot understand that SI isn't anything that you can JUST stop and that's it.

My GP knows about my SI and she reacted nicely and I guess at least 50% of German docs react well when they see scars/ wounds because they have seen it before.
