Attention All Emo Kids

[n00bkiller1234]

Lighten up. The movies and cartoons on this website are not directed at you. You guys need to learn to take a joke and quit taking it all so personally. Seriously, if you can take a razor, you can take a joke.

[Tiki-Dog]

Yes, the cartoons are directed towards you, you fail at life, cut your self. and bisides, there are no emos on the internet.

AGREED!

To be honest I am a cutter and I get a bit offended by the jokes. Not everyone realises what it does to you, it helps you out in situations. I know it isn't the best thing to do but it really helps me as I am not able to express emotion so well.

Well, what I'm tired of is that the whole 'emo' subculture is turning something personal into a bandwagon for teenaged attention whores to jump on.

Self injury is now being associated with this social clique, even if it's done - like in the case of me and you - for other reasons besides fitting in or getting attention.

And then they get mad when you get mad at them for their mockery. And then the people who hate them hate you for being like them.

Honestly, this whole 'war' is taking it's toll.

I dont understand emo's and I dont't pretend to. You shouldn't either. if the emo wants to cut him or herself then let them fucking do it as long as they don't bleed on anything you own or like whats it bothering you?

Alot of people lump the whole cutting agenda into 'attention seeking', and I have to agree with you the whole Cutting-For-Mention is just a sad and horrible cliche going around. But then there's the different kinds who do it for relief. Besides one person who found out by accident, nobody knows I do it to myself and I intend to keep it that way, I don't want to lump my problems on others.

I rarely do it to, only when I really can't escape. But unlike alot of people, there's some who do it relief and definately not for attention.

GOOD JOB!

Here is the thing about emos.

It's a stupid prepubescent fad.

Name one good band that label themselves as "emo".

Emos are so lame. They do not have a message or purpose like the punks. They do not dress a certain way like the goths or preppys. Emos have no identity. Die off already.

There's a whole bunch of reasons why people do it, but all of those are overlooked because of this fad.

When I was into it this summer, I did do it in obvious places like my hands. But not because I wanted people to see it. It was mainly because I was pretty naive to the whole ordeal and thought I could cover it up with gloves. Long story short, it didn't work. I know now that I have to do it in discrete places and in ways that don't leave wounds. But enough of my story here.

The only result of this whole emo war is that serious things are being ignored and/or downsized. It really pisses me off.

A few things about Emo kids.

1.) Have you ever noticed that emo kids don't have any facial hair...?
2.) Kids that call themselves "Emo", most of the time are trying to look like they're expressing themselves, in hopes of getting chicks to notice them. It would be much easier to call them "Those kids with a flamboyant feminen side"
3.) Eyeliner is for girls, put it back in your sisters room.
4.) Those pants aren't yours either, put them back in your sister's dresser.
5.) A 15 year old kid from suburbia complaining that "My mom won't let me go see My Chemical Romance in concert, is nothing to compared to a 7 year old in Brosklavia Russia, complaining that "I have Polio, my grandmother has been taken hostage by Russian diplomats, and our house is covered in 64 inches of snow."
6.) Like everyone else, when these Emo kids reach 20, they will look back and say "Fuck...i was such an irratating dork. And they will continue the flameing of future EMO kids.

The End

if you don't want attention then dont write on a forum about how you cut

When you don't have any other places to express your emotions and your problems, communities like these are great closure. Especially since most of the time, no one on here can effect the person in any way whatsoever.

Exactly. I take no offense to what you guys say, most of the time you cheer me up. So if I get 20 replies saying I'm an 'Emo Loser' and just 1 reply giving some advice... I win.

Certain situations for doing it. The only reason I ever did it was I found out my mother had cancer and it was looking a bit bleak. I'm over the cutting fad but I won't say it didn't help me with the situation in a weird way.

I use to think the same way untill I tried it. My friend was cutting himself and I was angry at him. I told him I'd do it to myself if he did it again, he did and so did I. It helped with the pain of my mum at the same time, before I knew it I was doing it more frequently and completely understood my friend for doing it.

are you kidding this forum is the worst place to express your emotions
most people here are heartless a-holes

I don't care what you people think. I put out some of my most intimate problems and details about myself onto this site and yes, I've been flamed and harassed, but it doesn't bother me.

I'm not an open person, so it's good to let the secret out in a way where I'm not going to get hurt.

I don't give a flying fuck if you guys think I'm a perverted loser. What are you going to do, tell my mommy? Text on a website doesn't hurt. Hell, most of the time you guys are funny to watch.

Anonymity. On the internet you don't see peoples faces and they don't see yours.

I would beat you, but you would just say: "Please sir, may I have another?". Takes all the satisfaction out of emo beating.

this guy right here? He's damn right. I am--or was--too, and it helps.

We do it to ease the pain...or at least, I did...and it works. Surprisingly well.

I'm far more pissed that so many bands are labeled emo by the games and movies, and even more so at that that people hate them simply for that fact. It's like an instant black mark here on NG.

If you're a cutter, and you're still alive. You're doing it wrong.

thats not why we do it. it eases whatever ails you, and its a hell of a way out of pain.

why are we labeled pussies? we take physical pain so we don't feel the emotional pain.

Exactly. I have never cut to intentionally kill myself, nor do I hope to kill myself from doing it. It's a relief when you're emotionally overwhelmed. My friends said physical pain is so much better than emotional, I didn't believe him at first, but now I do.

Some people drown themselves in alcohol, some turn to drugs. I on the other hand chose to do this. There are all destructive ways to cure emotional pain and in my opinion, this is the lighter of them.

[Rustybucket2501]

Okay. This is sad that so many people are this touchy. I was a cutter and my arms still hold the proof. I did it for suicide attempts and what's known as "Stress cutting" and seriously I have laughed my ass off at some of the videos on here. I feel bad for people who can't laugh at the stuff here because that means that you really do have problems like that and that's how you really choose to handle it.
