BBC Documentary

I don't quite know where to put this, so it's going here,

Title: CUT UP KIDS

I don't know if I'm alone in this but I liked the idea of a documentary that gave people an insight of how SI works & how it makes people feel, & helps to narrow down the stigma but just the Title to me seems a little Stigmatising. I don't think I would have been too impressed if I was a little younger & back at my worst times that just the title of the documentary I took part in was almost stigmatising me. A little concerned what the rest of the general public might think about the title.

I do still intend on watching the documentary, I'm just a little glad I didn't take part, I hope this doesn't offend anyone who has taken part.

Any other peoples thoughts or feedback welcome.

& in reply to your question, I don't see how it is stigmatising self harmers?

If you cut yourself, and you're a teenager, then you're pretty much what the title says, no?

I think it's stigmatising in that it suggests that everyone who self harms is a kid and cuts. When in reality it's lots of ages and lots of different forms. But like, let's discuss this on another thread so that it's easy for this thread to go.

And omg people qupted me! :D

I don't think it suggests that, I think it's just focusing on the kids maybe? I dunno, I don't really care haha. I haven't cut for nearly two years and I'm in my 20s so its got bugger all to do with me!

Self-harmers receive FAR too much attention in the media any way, tbh.
If there's one thing I don't want, it's attention.
Leave meh alone, plz. : ]
