a lot of what i am asking people to do for this project is to submit "video diaries". this can be anything from you sitting infront of a webcam answering questions about self injury to you having a camera with you documenting your life over a period of two weeks. i really want people to get creative with this!
i am however, asking you to send in rough footage, that means no editing please. i have set up a youtube account so participants can easily submit footage. i will provide a link to a video that i have made. to submit any footage to this project, i would like you to respond to the link and upload the footage. make sure when you upload your video(s) that you make it private. also, make sure when you upload your video(s) that you send me an e-mail with the link to your video. your video will be taken down within 24 hours of the uploaded time due to privacy.
here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpD3TwJH9-E
if you have any questions or comments please e-mail me or address them below. selfharmdoc@yahoo.com
if there is another way you would like to submit your video, please let me know!

here are some possible questions you could address in your video:
1. What is your name? How old are you?
2. How long have you been self harming?
3. What prompted you to start self harming?
4. Who makes up your family and, what are they like?
5. What are your hobbies?
6. How do you think society views self injury?
7. Do you think there is a cure for self harming, if so what?
*please feel free to talk about anything, there is NO wrong way to do this.
