Goth Risk Factor?
From a recent CNN report:
Another study in BMJ linked the Goth subculture to increased risk of suicide and self-mutilation among teens.
Researchers at the University of Glasgow wrote that more than half of 19-year-olds who identified as Goths admitted self-mutilating behaviors such as cutting or said they had attempted suicide.
But the researchers said it is unclear which came first: participation in Goth culture or harmful behavior.
Oh my god?! Really?! I thought Goths were happy people! This just shatters my ideology of my Gothic culture.
Off to burn all my black clothes!
