"Goth" youths more likely to self-harm?

i'd especially appreciate responses from goths
i am not stereotyping goths. please understand. i used to be a goth, and then i went punk.
i still appreciate goth culture though. i just wanted to hear the thoughts of others

I think it's dumb, but at the same time I am a self-injuring goth. So I don't know. I was self-injuring before I became a goth, but I don't think my becoming one had anything to do with that at all. It just kind of happened. I didn't know any other goths and I hadn't seen many, I just liked black and it went from there. Goth is more than clothing, anyway. And self-injury is more than making a few little marks on your skin. They don't know anything about what they did the study on.

Here's a young goth speaking to you:
That is totally not true. I think you're mistaking us for punks.
And to the poster below me: We enjoy ourselves greatly! We just don't enjoy the company of someone like you! But we laugh, and we smile, you just never see it because you're not our friend! And we only do it around gothic friends.

They shouldn't stereotype people like that...
People who harm themselves don't necessairely belong to the same group!
Its people who have problems....
Not goths...
