>I want to do something studying interactions in suicide/self harm internet forums, but I'm not sure what I could do to get decent research...
I guess that I'd start by seeing what other people have done on that kind of topic. I'd have a go at searching a database such as PSYCH-INFO. Then you might be able to narrow down what you want to do, and you shouldn't have too much trouble placing it in the context of current research.
>or how to go about it ethically.
I guess that you would probably have an ethics committee that the project would need to be approved by. Do you have a supervisor for your project yet? They should be able to help you with what is required for ethical approval.
Hope this helps a little.
Bummer about your computer :-(
Are you on holiday at the mo?
