*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.
Wow, that post sure was good! I hope people look at it ^_^.

I for one don't, although i have been tempted if it's been a really annoying, stressful and sometimes depressing day. But i think about having scars for the rest of my life, so i don't. I do actually have a scar along my arm from self harming (i was actually a bit depressed), but that's it. I hide it now, and it was a stupid thing to do.

does this apply to accidental self harm, like what happen to me today was I got excited and cut my foot on the bottom of my couch, then yes I have self harmed myself

But as for cutting yourself on purpose (unless if its a tribe thing) then its pretty stupid

also does stretching your ear lobes considered to me self harm?

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.
I respect your point, but when someone says their life is hard, to them it legitimately is.
For it is all that person has ever known, thus it's hard for them. Maybe not to others who have possibly endured harder times.. to them it's a tough time.
Everyone has different levels of what they can handle mentally, physically, and psychologically. If you can handle a lot, good for you.

Don't sit there and down people.
It just makes you look like a royal pain in the back side. =/
So you can handle abuse, but what you fail to understand is some can't very well.
The last thing they need is for someone like you to tell them how 'wrong' they are about their own life.

Going back to previous posts, i mean intetional self-harm.

And Savvanah, you say its a group of people, hence why i said "stereotypically emo"

And i know children are suffering in africa, but its not for anyone to decide a persons level of suffering, whether mental, physical or emotional.

so thats my point

anyone got a comeback?

I don't see the point in self harm. People have their reasons for doing it, and fair enough, though self harm isn't the best way to deal with your problems and I don't understand why people need to hurt themselves. I guess I've never experienced something so awful enough to make me want to hurt myself. But I know that I'll never think about it and go that far.

People do get angry, though it's not the best way to let your anger out. You can always seek advice from other people, but I guess some people would say they don't have anyone to talk to about their problems. Which I find rather sad. And I don't mean this to offend anyone, but people who self harm really need a reality check, because to me, hurting yourself means that you don't value your life.

Never done it, never even thought about it. Although I was tempted to rip my hair out at one point. XD I think because I couldn't find something.

Seeing as how there's multiple things that fit into the 'self-harm' genre, lets narrow it down to suicide, for now.

Have I actually ever attempted it? No.

Have I thought about it? Yes.

With others things, such as cutting, drug abuse, or.. punching holes in walls, apparently.. never thought about it, and certainly have never done it. xD; I don't see the point.

I've never intentionally harmed myself. I simply am not capable of hating myself that much. I've far too much compassion for myself, but others as well to allow such a thing to transpire when it is within my definite power to stop it.

Now, I have felt depressed enough to want to change my physical form, but I've always slapped myself out of it way before I even think about considering self-mutilation.

I feel that anyone who does intentionally harm theirself should receive immediate attention and treatment for their mental/emotional problems. I don't mean to insult anyone by saying that, I say it out of concern more than anything, so please don't take it the wrong way.
