Today in my english class,
I overheard a girl say, "Oh yeah and emos do that weird
thing where they cut their wrists.. freaky if you ask me."
As soon as I heard that, I turned around and said 'I think the word you're looking for is self harm and no self harm doesn't make someone an emo. It's a serious thing. An emo is a complete different thing. People who self harm, do it as an escape. They have nobody to vent to or share their feelings with so they cut because for a few seconds they forget about the rest of the pain around them. They feel as though it's their only choice, that there is no other way to make the pain go away. They don't do it to be 'emo'. Oh and to add to that listening to rock music, wearing dark eye make up & having depression also does not make someone an emo. So please, think before you speak. You don't know why people do the things they do, you can't hear whats going on in there head.
you don't know how they feel."
