It is a broad term but there are a lot of nuts out there who engage in intentional personal harm via deep cuts, improvised Tattoos, etc, that are beyond explanation. It seems to be more popular with Blacks and is sometimes called scarification, not to be confused with the same term for pavement grooving which is still occasionally practiced and may improve traction.

Will every one call you an emo when you slit your wrists?

No, not "everyone" will call you an emo if you slit your wrists. For the people that do, they shouldn't because 'emo' is a disgusting stereotype that totally messed up how people should think about people with these kind of problems. I hear people every day making jokes and remarks about people that self harm, doing the action of someone slitting their wrists and saying things like "urrghh I'm so depressed. i hate my life." etc which makes my blood boil. It is not a subject to joke about. I just advise you at least don't make it obvious. wear long sleeves to cover cuts and/or scars and only tell people who will understand why you are doing it for whatever reason. However, self harming is something you should not do. It can scar you mentally and physically. If you find that this is an issue you cannot overcome, getting help and support is a good idea. Visit sites like these if that is the case.
