Human Rights and Pressure on Young Adults. Skins (UK) - Skins Wiki. Skins is a British teen drama that follows a group of teens in Bristol, South West England, through their two years of Sixth form (equivalent to junior and senior year of high school in the US) at Roundview College.
The show has been considered controversial due to it's exploration of issues such as dysfunctional families, mental illness (including eating disorders), sexual orientation identity, substance abuse and death revolving around teenagers. The show is known for its casting of amateur young actors and young writers and for entirely replacing the cast every two series, when the characters graduate from sixth form.

Despite our proudest cultural and medical advances, mental illness remains largely taboo, partly because the experience of it can be so challenging to articulate. Issues in Skins. Anorexia nervosa. Anorexia nervosa is often coupled with a distorted self image[3][4] which may be maintained by various cognitive biases[5] that alter how the affected individual evaluates and thinks about their body, food, and eating.[6] People with anorexia nervosa often view themselves as overweight or "big" even when they are already underweight.[7] Anorexia nervosa most often has its onset in adolescence and is more prevalent among adolescent females than adolescent males.[8] While the majority of people with anorexia nervosa continue to feel hunger, they deny themselves all but very small quantities of food.[6] The average caloric intake of individuals with anorexia nervosa varies drastically depending both on whether the individual engages in binging and/or purging behavior, and if the individual has engaged in that behavior in the day in question.[9] Extreme cases of complete self-starvation are known.

Pseudonymous England-based graffiti artist, political activist, and painter Banksy is a pseudonymous England-based street artist, political activist, and film director whose real name and identity remain unconfirmed and the subject of speculation.[2] Active since the 1990s, his satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine dark humour with graffiti executed in a distinctive stenciling technique.
His works of political and social commentary have appeared on streets, walls, and bridges throughout the world.[3] Banksy's work grew out of the Bristol underground scene, which involved collaborations between artists and musicians.[4] Banksy says that he was inspired by 3D, a graffiti artist and founding member of the musical group Massive Attack.[5] Banksy displays his art on publicly visible surfaces such as walls and self-built physical prop pieces.

A sign for Tacheles at the entrance Tacheles from the rear The Kunsthaus Tacheles (Art House Tacheles) was an art center in Berlin, Germany, a large (9000 square meter) building and sculpture park on Oranienburger Straße in the district known as Mitte.
Huge, colorful graffiti-style murals are painted on the exterior walls, and modern art sculptures are featured inside. The building houses an artists collective which is threatened with eviction. Originally called "Friedrichsstadtpassagen", it was built as a department store in the Jewish quarter (Scheunenviertel) of Berlin, next to the synagogue.[2] Serving as a Nazi prison for a short while, it was later partially demolished. History[edit] The house was finally closed on September 4, 2012. A developer called the Fundus Group bought the site from the Berlin government in the mid-1990s. This contract was then extended but expired at the end of 2009, at which point the artists again became squatters. There was a division inside the Tacheles.
