Young people who identify as goths may be at increased risk of depression and self-harm, a study suggests. Researchers could not fully explain the link, but suggest a tendency for goths to distance themselves from society could play a part.

As an ageing goth, this has always been the case. I find it frustrating that ‘researchers’ haven’t been able to make connections (“find the link”) between this subculture and these associated emotions and behaviours. It seems very clear to me. I would be happy to provide further information should anyone be interested.
And as a high school teacher now – I’m very much looking forward to the Resilient Kids program tomorrow at Bond University.
