If you mean a sheep in the sense of following the crowd, that is anything but true. Further proof, if any were necessary, that you do not know the first thing about me, therefore I would appreciate your refraining from making any further judgements of my character, for to date you have yet to be accurate in a single circumstance.

I really don't care how much validity you place in my opinion, and nothing you've said has done anything to alter it.

Re: Goths 'more likely to self-harm'

Is it not more a case of "goths more likely to admit to/claim to self harm".

In most parts of youth culture self harming would be something you would be ashamed of where as Nihilism (which i can't spell today) is worn almost as a badge of honour within goth culture.

I'm sure there some 'goths' who self harm because they have real problems and need a release ect ect, but there are also a fair chunk who will claim to because in some twisted sense they think its "cool".

That's the correct spelling of nihilism Neil

Re: Goths 'more likely to self-harm'

i guess im trying to say "just because you wear black doesnt mean youre a goth" - likewise, "just because youre a goth, doesnt mean you self harm". looking at it from a mis-informed view, that came from a media story, also not accurate across several newspapers.

i think im going for the "multi-tasking: its easy done to look silly and be stupidly wrong when you dont know the full facts" angle
