I felt like thedescription was missing two things: first, it didn\'t really discuss how this is used in fiction, which is the main purpose of Tv Tropes, and second, this is a really sensitive topic for some people and I thought it could be a bit more cautious in that reegard. Sorry about the PSA, but it felt necessary, given that we have one of the Driven To Suicide page. Also alphabitizing the sections and adding some example.

There is a lot stigma surrounding self harm. In fiction, it is generally assosiated with the {{goth}} and [[{{EmoTeen}} emo]] subcultures, and often thought that self-injurers are "just doing it for attention".
