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. Their advice might be helpful:
