Self injury (cutting, burning, etc.) is not just an "emo" issue. It is, in fact, an issue affecting many people across society. In recent years, it has been brought more into the spotlight by subcultures like "emo", but people have been involved in self injury for centuries. For some people, self injury can become an addiction. These people usually have trouble expressing their emotions correctly so they resort to unhealthy practices like self injury for relief. Most often, self injury is a "release" of bottled up emotions, and, for a brief period of time can bring relief to painful feelings, but it is never a long lasting relief. Therefore the self injurer is likely to repeat the action to gain relief again; this is when it becomes an addiction.
If anyone you know is hurting themselves on purpose, they NEED professional help. This is not an issue to be taken lightly or made fun of. Self injury is serious and, at times, life threatening.
emos are people who dont feel emotion like most people do, so they turn to physical pain to force emotion onto themselves, such as cutting themselves with razorblades
In my opinion cutting is a choice to do if u are emo.But the percentage that really do cut,cut so they can feel as though they are in self control.Some emos feel as though their parents control everything they do and choose to cut.
No because if your a wanna be then you think emo is cutting your self its enot (well some emos do but you dont have to) some people do that because their under steerse or w/e but they are other ways to not cut your self and feel better so all you emo that cut your self sont just find a better way that you wont hurt your slef!!!!
Yes. They want it to because they feel bad about themselves.
Because it is a thing some emo people do, but other stereotypes (most of the time) don't. Cutting is also a way of letting yourself go, hurting yourself so that you wouldn't feel that bad mentally, emotionally. And emos are quite depressed, so sadness, pain, heartbreak and cutting are words related to the stereotype.
Emo's usually cover up their Face/eyes because they feel insecure about themselves or they are trying to hide the sadness.(eyes/face)
When a regular person starts to hang around different groups and is exposed to different things at the adolescent age, groups like "emos" tend to develop. This many result in bad influences. They may begin to hang around other "emos," in search of ways to solve their problems. Most "emos" do not concieve in isolation the idea to cut themselves to relieve pain, it is passed on through the cult. Experimenting with different ways to cure their emotional instability, adolescents begin to try new things, whoch may ultimately result in cutting. The final results of this action are mixed, both from the feeling that now, they are, in a way, in control over their own pain, another is that they are punnishing themselves, giving themselves up to suffering because they see themselves unfit to live without it. Probably one of the most important ones, if you ask an "emo" person WHY they cut, they will usually be at a loss for words except the vague statement that it makes them feel better. This is usually because when they cut, their body releases lots of complex hormones and chemical enzymes, giving them a sensation of feeling good, though the consequential pain certainly does not. This combination of the body's functions and the psychological need to punish themselves physically, "emos" are able to cope with their insecurities on their own.I have dated three emo guys and each one of them cuts themselves on a daily bases. They said they do it to get rid of all emotional pain in their life. Also, one of the guys told me that he also cuts himself because it lets him know that he is alive.I am an Emo. You don't need to cut yourself to be emo or vice-versa. Some people tend to stereotype the whole group just because they know some emos who cut themselves, To put it simply, not all emos are cutters.I am an emo. I do not cut myself. Not all emos cut themselves. Some do it because they think it makes them look cool. Others do it because they are lonely and sad.I used to cut myself. I no longer do that. Nowadays, I understand that the pain from cutting my arm only distracted me from the pain in my heart. So, for me, that was the point of cutting myself.... to distract from a pain that hurt more that the cutting.I too am an emo. Some emos do it for attention...others do it because we have real problems and no one to talk to. The word emo stands for emotional problems. The word emo is abbreviation of emotional.I am emo so I will add my opinion: Not all emos cut themselves. In addition, many people who cut themselves are not emo. Some people who cut themselves then wear short sleeves, and practically wave their arms to get attention or help. Other people who cut themselves hide it from others. Mostly, people do it to make them feel better. It can be part of an inferiority complex. Some self-harmers do not like themselves. Some people cut themselves because they feel that they are not as good as everyone else is. Other people cut themselves because they are different from people and feel the odd one out in society. They might hate themselves for being different. Whatever the type of person (emo or not emo), people cut themselves to feel better. I don't care about what people say, but I can tell you straight that it helps.To put it simply: Cutting yourself causes your body to release endorphins. These hormones are designed to dull pain, and consequently make you feel good, in an ironic sort of way.Depressed people cut themselves (only some people, sometimes) because when you cut yourself it releases hormones that make you feel better. If people are cutting themselves just so they can say they are emo, they are most likely doing it for different reasons (to fit into a certain group of people, etc....).
Because what you feel inside isn't the same as what emos feel. Emos feel sad and in pain inside all the time and it's a horrible feeling and they can't go through with it any more so they want to stop it but they think the only way is to die
i am what u would call 'emo'. i cut and burn and bruise and stufff beaacuse i have deppression, depression is a imblance in the cemichels in my brain, its hard to be happy. and i get to much a emotion.. so i cut to maake me feel numb. but some 'emos' cut to feel something.. because they feel numb and hate it.. and that's how they feel anyuthign at all, some, like me, feel as if the blood flowing out is like theur pain flowing out as well. or watching my scars heal is like watching my pain heal to.. sadly, cutting isent the answer. everytime i look at my arms crossed with new and old scars i will have forever i feel sad, terrible, betrayed. i wish i never started cutting.. but now its hard to stop. but please, never do it. EVER. if you have a friend doing it talk to her and be her or his friend. please. its a terrible habit and i have been trying to stop for 3 years. </3
Michael Jackson doesn't feel anything about anyone because he is dead.
No it isnt. Some emos are emo because they just want to be different. Some emos are emo because they feel a certain way. Some emos are gay but that doesnt mean they are all gay.
What makes an emo an emo is that emo kids are not like anyone else. They are just themselves. And if you didn't know that not all emos cut theirselves, and not all of them are gay or lesbian or bisexual. But yes, most of them do cut and are not straight. But you people reading this shouldn't judge emos because not all of us are what you think. I'm totally with this person, and all the others. let them be who they are. I like what this person said. We emos are different and different is something good.
