Description: **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.
