**Warning: Contains graphic content** An investigation based on the phone of a 17-year-old teenager who killed herself has revealed the shocking scale of self-harm and suicide material being shared across networks of private Instagram accounts. The BBC has been able to see inside the mobile of the Norwegian teen - who live posted her suicide on Instagram. New analysis by a team of Norwegian journalists at NRK has revealed that she was linked to another 1000 accounts all posting similar dangerous content - around half of them in English. At least another 14 girls in the same Instagram network have also taken their own lives. Catrin Nye has this special investigation.

We are BBC Stories, a group of journalists making films, long and short, with the younger audience (18-24) in mind. The idea is to tackle issues which concern and impact this group of people. So think about anything from race and identity to mental health, money and much more.
