This research deals with the issue of self-harm, the relationship between self-harm and the Internet, and the relationship between self-harm and subculture. The theoretical part characterizes the age of adolescence, as well as describing self-harm and the emo and gothic subcultures. The aim of the research was to discover the motivations that lead young people to write blogs about self-harm, whether they have their own experiences with self-harm, and if so, what are their experiences, their manner of self-harm, how they experience self-harming, and what are the causes. Another aim was to determine the role that social contagion plays in self-harm and how young people perceive the relationship between self-harm and culture-subculture. The research results showed that the causes of the respondents' self-harm are individual and that there are always several factors at play. As a trigger for self-harm the respondents stated stressful situations, annoyance, surging anger and hatred, depression, and feelings of inferiority. The causes of self-harm were diverse among respondents; they included family problems, parental divorce, death of a loved one, trouble at school, bullying, anorexia, abortion, and rape. Respondents indicated that self-harming served as a release, where mental pain was transformed into physical pain. In this way it provided relief from internal tension and anxiety. i have not found a direct link between emo subculture and self-harming among respondents. There was also an effort to understand the issue of self-harm, as such, more deeply.

This thesis examines the potential links between political behavior and the Prague metal scene. Many authors have suggested theories on links between music and politics, but there are few empirical studies on the topic. This thesis focuses on one genre of music in one space and cultural context: heavy metal music in Prague, Czech Republic. The literature on metal subcultures claims that they exist to perpetuate rebellion and transgression, and that members of these subcultures reject "politics"; however, metal is seen as political in some cases.

Furthermore, respondents viewed metal in Prague as apolitical, but felt metal could be political in some...
