The youngsters claim they have been influenced by celebrities who speak openly about their problems - such as Kerry Katona, 30, who suffers from bipolar disorder.
The study, for online therapy service Mentaline.com, questioned 1,192 British youngsters aged 12 to 17.
It found one in ten thought mental illnesses were “trendy” with half of those believing it made people “unique”. Some 16 per cent said celebrity sufferers had made mental conditions “fashionable”.
The top five faked problems were: Eating disorders (22 percent); self harming (17 percent); addiction (13 percent); depression (12 percent); bipolar disorder (nine percent). - Daily Mail
What the Fuck?
Hasn't it been bad enough with the Emo assholes thinking that everything is bad and they better attempt suicide for attention?
No you just cut yourselve to be cool or fit in, to sport the latest scar tissue or coolest blood spatter design on your wall or floor.
I can imagine that pretty soon there will be special stencil sets available from the local stationary or hardware shop, so that you can also get different designs. If it catches on, pretty soon you can get the specialised equipment from your local art supply distributor. Imagine if it becomes the next big trendy art medium?
But in that case I would like to commission 50 or so people for the first Interactive Blood and Razor Show. Six hours of Guts and Gore!
I you can sit through the whole performance you will receive your own complimentary knife, and a small souvenir vial of blood.
Now if you will excuse me, I need to go and throw up my lunch onto a piece of canvas for the follow up performance.
