Syftet med denna uppsats var att beskriva vad som låg i fokus i ungdomars diskussioner, på ett webbaserat community, kring självskadebeteende. Urvalet blev 114 ungdomar mellan 13 och 25 år på communityt Helgon.net. Frågeställningarna var: ?Vilka huvudteman ligger i fokus i ungdomarnas diskussioner??, ?Fungerar diskussionerna på forumen som ett socialt stöd?? och ?Vilka erfarenheter har ungdomarna av professionell hjälp?? Den metod som användes var en kvalitativ analys av de fyra huvudtemana ?Självskadetrend?, ?Varför skada sig själv?, ?Sårskador, ärr och skamkänslor? och ?Behandling och stöd?, som skapades utifrån vad som låg i fokus i ungdomarnas diskussioner.
