Hi Avicii,

 

BPD doesn’t discriminate it affects people of all ages and all backgrounds. Can you fill us with your BOD?

Hiya Avicii 

I'd like to join Mutt in welcoming you to the community. I'm glad you've joined us, you can be sure of support here and many parents with teens, is your teen a goth?

Hi Avicii,

I do think that for some reason, many BPD young people seem drawn toward goth.  My BPD dd21, went through a period lasting a few years where she was very much into goth and I do know that many others talk about their teens being drawn to goth.  I always wondered if, at least for my daughter, it has to do with the lack of identity as she could be (and can be) a chameleon, changing herself and her interests frequently.  For my daughter, I think it also had to do with the "shock" value... .if she couldn't quite fit in with the main stream, then she was going to really make herself standout.

I would like to join Mutt and Wendy in welcoming you to the BPD family   Hope to hear more from you!  MomMae
