Public Confessions for Awareness

Mia Tyler's Attempted Suicide, Cutting

— August 27, 2008 — Pop Culture
Suicide is a story we hear all too often among the rich and famous (unfortunately, regular young people as well), and one we really cannot wrap our brains around. Why would someone so successful, so young, and so beloved by millions, contemplate committing suicide, let alone attempt it? Last night on ET, once plus-size model and daughter of Steven Tyler, Mia Tyler, will discuss the day she almost committed suicide, which will be fully detailed in her book, Creating Myself.

Mia will also discuss her obsession with cutting, an issue of growing concern among young people today, especially women. It is a form of self-mutilation that other well known people have practiced; Angelina Jolie, Drew Barrymore, Fiona Apple, Courtney Love, and even Princess Dianna, just to name a few.

According to a New York Times report, dated May 6, 2008, experts say that cutting is a growing trend among teenagers and young adults.

Although it doesn’t need to be said, cutting is a practice that we do not want to see grow anymore than it has already. It is also hoped that when celebs like Mia, ‘come out’ with their thoughts of suicide and self-mutilation, that it inspires others who feel the same way to get help, rather than encourage or promote the behavior.
Trend Themes
1. Rise in Cutting - The growing trend of cutting among teenagers and young adults presents an opportunity for innovative solutions to address mental health issues and provide support systems.
2. Celebrity Mental Health Advocacy - Celebrities publicly sharing their experiences with suicide and self-mutilation can disrupt stigmas and contribute to the expansion of mental health awareness and resources.
3. Youth Initiatives for Self-help - Increasingly, young people are actively seeking self-help methods to cope with mental health challenges, indicating a potential market for technological platforms or apps that offer guidance and support.
Industry Implications
1. Mental Health Services - The rise in cutting and celebrity advocacy calls for advancements in mental health services, including counseling, therapy, and accessible crisis hotlines.
2. Publishing - As more individuals share personal stories of mental health struggles, there is an opportunity for the publishing industry to release more books that promote understanding, support, and solutions.
3. Technology and Mental Health - The demand for accessible and personalized mental health support could drive innovation in the development of user-friendly apps, digital platforms, and virtual support groups.
