i missed it, not wonder my parents gave me a funny look when i walked bk into the house after i was bk from my friends house. Hummm. i don't like my rents when they look at me like that
The concept was a very good one. With it being a guy and all, bringing that to people's attention, when the common misconception is that it's something that only girls do.
His mates reaction did make me angry, BUT, I think that was the whole point of it. That people do think that, and it needs to be corrected in people's minds.
Hum, it didn't trigger me personally, but I can see how it would trigger other people but considering that SI isn't something that is widely spoken about they wouldn't have really considered a warning. That being said they really should've.
Don't think it was handled that badly, although I don't think it was done brilliantly and possibly didn't have the same effect it was intended to have.
And yes, I was watching it with the rents too...How awkward.
can we just say what his mate said?
i'm interuged after all this...[and don't have virgin media what not]
"Be nice. Think happy thoughts. Champion silver linings. Love all things (not just cute things like babies and kittens) & when you do love - love like they do in power ballads (you know like on a cliff with the wind in your hair and your eyes shut, knowing you'll never know love like this). Watch out for dog poo. Smile at people - even grumpy ones. Remember anything is possible & whatever you do always try to look on the bright side."
I watched it and my parents made me go sit by them so they could hug me i just wanted to run !! and then he started talking about the whole blood thing and my parents were looking at me i was like WHAT??? but what his mate said is what a majority of people say and think i'm glad one programme tackled the issue and what charlie said about it being the hardest thing to admit he had a problem was so true ! But i wished they'd warned people it was going to be about sh!
woo thats my speech over lol
love Grace x x
I can't remember exactly what his mate said, but it was something along the lines of that it was stupid and only teenage girls do it, and that he should grow up.
It wasn't just his friend, I found the Doctor [Stitch] incredibly offensive although I know that's his character. I thought it was quite a triggering episode, but mostly just because of the negatives attitude. I think there should have been a warning at the start or something at the end.
Darn it, I don't have vrigin media, or infact, anything other than rubbishy freeview.
I have jus thad a possible thought though, my parents were away this weekend, when they get back I will ask if they recorded it. They might've. I hope so. I just hope I don't end up having to watch it WITH them. Ah crap. Bad idea.
Never mind.
He said;
'Only stupid little girls do that when they've been dumped by their boyfriends! Wait till everyone hears about this'
To be honest, i'm glad they did it. It was an older pretty tough looking guy and atleast they tried to show people that it can affect ANYONE.
And anything can be triggering, i know they showed cuts but say, when rape or abuse is being discussed, that can be triggering. They can't censor everything.

With demons dancing off mirror images reflecting all that you wanted.
So far from perfect, onward we will strive.
Take it for what it's worth, this truth that you've realized.
You're not who you thought you were, it's time to see the other side of what you have become.
Ah, mum and dad DID record it, and I watched it just now, thankfully not with them they decided to go to bed early.
I think they could have covered it a bit more actually, I have no issue with it being dealt with BADLY just, not enough of the programme was dedicated to it I don't think. I liked it though.
Haven't seen it for a while so I would just like to say...GUPPY YOU IDIOT TOUCH IT AND I'LL EAT YOU.
I love him.
im curious thoguh...tv programmes that hjave self harm in,never say it or say a trigger warning before.what if this show triggers someone?hmmm.
/random post over.
Do you think that people who don't sh or people who just know it exists but don't really know anything about it realise that this kinda thing triggers?...I didn't really think about it till I saw it on the websites. I doubt they realise what it can do...I agree though it could be dangerous.
we should make a petition or something and send it to the bbc. get something sorted out for the people or RYL and all others. it can be triggering for some, and then its to late. x
