ok so I just was browsing around and I found this one girl whose entire gallery is pictures of her arm with different words cut into them. I know some people edit things that way for artistic effect, but someone asked this girl in comments and she confirmed that they are were indeed real. Basically the comments after that were all either asking that she get help, or others that were almost encouraging?
Yes I'm probably not one to have an opinion here but what makes these people think this is a good thing? I can understand if its a problem that you got into for the normal reasons that people self harm, and in that case I'm praying for you, but what the heck is with these people that want the whole world to know that they do it? I know some people have blamed it on bands like MCR but thats completely stupid. If anything they're helping people, not making them get worse.
I mean I don't care if you want to be emo or whatever CUTTING IS NOT COOL! I mean the strongest and coolest people I know are the ones who had problems like that and are getting passed them!
If you think that you have to create problems for yourself so people will think you're emo 1. emo is MUSIC not a 'subculture' like people have decided it should be. Scene and emo, while they sometimes go together, are two totally different things. 2. if your friends call you a poser because you're not depressed, get rid of them and find some real friends and 3. the worst part of what you're doing is you're making it harder for the people with actual problems to get help because you're making everyone take one look at them and go 'oh shes just emo, shes actually fine'

sorry obviously this is something I feel strongly about because in the last year I've learned that not every emo kid is faking, and now I'm just pissed at the ones who are just trying to join the club. to my friends who I speak of thank you for teaching me this and so many other things. you guys are amazing.

please and if you are cutting, tell someone who can help you. Battling on through crap and getting past it is what makes you cool in my book.


btw the mood thingy isn't working so???
