    Excerpt · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    Note: This essay was written with Will Dobud at Charles Stuart University. He wrote the first draft so deserves most of the credit/blame. We agreed that any hate mail should go to him, and messages of praise and support should come to me.Are modern screens and social media causing an epidemic of youth self-harm?
