Great post. In yesterday’s session at the FOSI conference in DC, danah boyd shared her insights into cutting and other forms of self-harm such as anorexia. Her research finds these concerns are tied to issues of control and often found in homes with higher socio-economic status. So you start to envision the child with every possible opportunity, but also elevated expectations and responsibilities who feels overwhelmed and out of control for their life.

Thoughts?
