Cut Up Kids

Documentary which gives an insight into the phenomenon of self-harming teenagers by following three young people who have resorted to it as a way of coping with what life has thrown at them. Beth is 15 and suffers from arthritis and has self-harmed as a reaction to bullying at school. Tor, now 24, began cutting herself at the same age while under pressure to get good grades, and is still doing so. Gary, now 20, has been self-harming since 13 when he went to live in a children's home.
