Yes, i know a bit of a grim topic, but it shall be done.

I personally have done in the past, as i used to be what is stereotypically emo, but now i'm clean?

Although i have around 17 scars, which makes my arm quite interesting to chavs and other emo hating social groups.

This is... an odd poll O_o

I have, but it wasn't to be emo. I was really frantic one evening, I literally lost it and started to cut in my arm with a knife. I was breathing deeply and frantically, honestly wanting death upon myself but there wasn't enough will on my part to go through with it. So I am here today with 2 scars on my left arm.

Swift!

I've never done it on purpose, but one time I punched my bedroom wall and managed to hit the support beam out of pure chance.

If you want to know why, it was because I was angry at a pizza. xD

*sigh*

People annoy me when they think that because someone's emo, they must self-harm. It's not true. Not all emos cut. Emo is actually a genre of music, not some kind of thing that you can become 'clean' from. It's a category of person, just like prep and jock and scene.

Like, if I said, "I used to be a cheerleader prep, but I'm clean now," that doesn't sound right. So please don't do it to emo.

Sorry if that sounds mean. I'm just annoyed at that. I see it all over, like in my school, my family, the Internet. They're all like "Oh...you're emo, so you must cut." Not true.

Back on-topic. Yes, I have. Not much anymore.

I'm afraid of pain, so it's hard for me to do it. I mostly just take Tylenol and go to sleep so I don't have to listen to what's going on in my house.

But I don't self-harm anymore.

No. Even if I tried, I'd be too afraid to do it. I've just never been in a state of mind where I've felt the need to cut.
But I've hurt myself on accident many many times. <--clutz.

Self-harm doesn't neccassarily mean you're "emo."
I'm a bit of a klutz, so yeah, I get hurt alot xP
But at times, I will think of purposely hurting myself.
(And very rarely, I've actually put those thoughts into action...)
But now, I don't think about it anymore, I know that I don't need to harm myself just because I'm upset.

No, but I've thought about it plenty times before.

i wanna be the wind that fills your sails,
& be the hand that lifts your veil.
& be the moon that moves your tide,
the sun coming up in your eyes.
be the wheels that never rust,
& be the spark that lights you up.
all that you've been dreaming of and more,
so much more, i wanna be your everything.. <3

I have a manic-depressive disorder, so throughout my life I've had countless ups and downs, but never once did I self-harm or consider death. No matter how depressed I get, I still retain a certain level of common sense. The whole thing about inflicting physical pain to mask the emotional pain completely defies all logic.

My depression manifests itself in other ways, like sleeping all the time, forgetting/ignoring hunger, and generally moping about/crying.

Well, I'm depressed a lot, but I never resort to self-infliction. But I'm such a klutz so I hurt myself all the time. xD Just last week I stapled my finger.

I've only actually hurt myself intentionally once; I was 7 years old and at my uncles house, and me and my cousin made a bet about something, I think it was about what will happen on some new TV show. I lost, and the loser had to make the pet snake bite them. So, now I'm sitting here with 2 circle shaped scars on my left arm. Probably not the stupidest thing I've done, but it comes close.

Umm... No.

Why would I do that? I have another eighty plus years of life left. I have no right to end my life suddenly because I messed something up or I'm depresed. Everyone'll be depressed atleast once in their life times; get over it.
Indeed. However there's an epidemic in society with kids becoming less and less intelligent I find. I figure at least if they kill themselves, they do us all a favor by removing their whiny, spoiled selves from the planet. No offence, but if you resort to "self-harm", you lead a sad existence. Go read a book, ride your bike, or something, and learn to be egotistical. After all, human nature is inherently selfish, so stop trying to please everyone else, stop caring what others think, and live your life.

And think about this: you don't see emos in Africa, where children legitimately suffer every day, so guess what, you're not in a bad spot. Grow up, be a little more self-centered, and stop whining about how your life is hard, because it isn't.

And say what you wish in response, this is my view, and nothings going to change. In fact, I technically should be emo too, because my mom has abused me growing up. But instead, I stopped concerning myself with what she did/said/thought and decided to live my life for myself and not for anyone or anything else.

There are many forms of self harm.
And it can be safely assumed that this thread was created concerning cutting yourself, or anything equally harmful. Or else it wouldn't be a "grim topic". I mean, breaking your finger so you don't have to write a physics test, that isn't grim at all. A little stupid, but not grim. :P

Nah, I've never felt the need.

No.

I know better.
Know better than what, exactly?
'It's been a prevalent notion. Fallen sparks. Fragments of vessels broken at the Creation. And someday, somehow, before the end, a gathering back to home. A messenger from the Kingdom, arriving at the last moment. But I tell you there is no such message, no such home -- only the millions of last moments . . . nothing more. Our history is an aggregate of last moments.'
