You know what makes me truly angry?

[ashleighhxbby]

People laughing and joking about teen suicide/self harm and depression.

I just did a presentation in my computer class about it and I worked really hard on it and as soon as I finished people started to make jokes.
that infuriates me to no end.

Hypocrites and saying that my presentation must have been a cry for help. Thats none of their business and i honestly dont care anymore.
Just because I want to inform and let people know whats going on in their friends and peers lives that automatically makes me depressed and emo. thats stupid and ignorance.

I'm so angry im shaking. I was also very nervous which didnt help.
one person decided to make a comment and i replied with dont talk to me. I'm tired of the stereotypical people around me.

i hate this school and i hate all the people in it.

they're all hypocrites and they want to make everyone else that doesn't necessarily think that if a person wears black once in their lifetime it makes them emo.

I dont think that cutting/suicide/depression is funny and that makes me weird.

If I don't get out of this place soon, I will explode and they will feel my wrath. im tired of it.


what am I supposed to do when someone makes comments like that? I can't say anything bad back to them cause ill probably feel bad about it, but I just cant take it anymore.. please help?

you know what i dont like ? goths and emos getting despressed over nothing and cutting there selves for attention thats why i dont like

[Miss Punk]

I guess some people don't understand it as being a real problem, and anyway this is school - there will always be a bunch of immature kids who don't want to be there, and like to take the piss out of whatever they can. That would annoy me so much as well, and I know what it's like to be sitting there while people are making fun of cutting and depression, and not being able to say anything, in fact often the only thing it's possible to do is laugh and go along with it - and so I'll bet you that half of those people were only going along with it too, even if they don't have those problems.

I don't like your attitude.
You are clearly ignorant and narrow-minded.

Not everyone who is depressed/self harms is an attention whore. There are people out there who are experiencing huge amounts of emotional pain and are depressed/self harm because of it. Of course you do have that small group who think that it's a great way to get attention, but they are by no means representative of the people who struggle with depression and self harm.

The goths I know are actually some of the happiest people I know. Just because someone is drawn to gothic art/literature/music/fashion doesn't mean that they are depressed.

I think some people who people think are faking to the outside world only seem like their faking . Sure some of them might be faking but even if they seem like their faking, dont assume. It could be their way of hiding it from others, even themselves. But i agree the ones who are faking make me angry too. It almost seems like their making fun of and belittleing those with real problems.

That was way to fucking far asshole.

Ever think that maybe they don't cut for attention? Why not talk to one you fucking douchebag. And emo/goth, COMPLETELY different from cutters.

Learn up on these people before you judge them, just by your talk, I could judge you, saying your an ignorant fuck who obviously has no idea what some people go through, and has a perfect life.

look i bet they boys aint ever had a girlfriend in there life

First, lern ta spewl.

Second, I bet you haven't ever had a true girlfriend, and if you did, it was only because she thought you were cool for making fun of people, you stuck up fuck face cunt

(administrative note): merging for now, might take out swears etc.

Alright let's settle down on the name calling and be respectful everyone.

I make fun of cutting, depression and sucide all the time. It's bad, and I wish I knew how to stop doing as much. I know real people have done and go through the things I just laugh about.

Hearing about people's anger about it helps, I guess...

I'm trying to change! But it is hard to start showing sympathy to something that I have made fun of all my life. (Plus once I defended cutters, and suddenly I was one of them, I know how you feel about that. IT makes me mad to be called something I am not, most of the time.)

[Truth]

Yea, i hate being called emo because some people saw a scar 8 months ago.. :/ It annoys me.

you know what i dont like ? goths and emos getting despressed over nothing and cutting there selves for attention thats why i dont like Please, just go outa' these forums. It would be best for you, and your assumptions.

[ShinigamiMaiden]

well the thing here is, i fell out with my best friend jordan a few months ago because of this, we are mates again now scince it was quite a while ago but what he said to me was, you self harm for attension and its just STUPID! but the thing is. nobody knows! so how is it for attension? he only knew because he forced my glove off one afternoon. even then he didnt mind about it all that much, and yes im emo, im very proud to be who i am. so before you say things like that THINK.

It's easy. You just...stop doing it.

I know what you mean..I think it is so cruel how kids can be so ignorant...they laugh at the kids who cut...and you know what it only makes things worse for the kids that do cut...it's so mean and I have realized that my friends are choosing to be ignorant about this...they laugh when I try and tell them something serious...they don't want to hear it...they don't care

Why do people make fun of cutting? They do not understand why you would or how you feel, so they feel as if they will be made fun of if they try to help, so they make fun of you. I have a very very good friend, that always makes me feel better, i didnt cut for three months cause i promised her, even though others make fun of me for it, she cares. Just find one good friend to listen, and tell no one else. =]

im talkin about some of the goths ive met, some of the sites ive been on some of the goths ive met so dont moan at me, i wasnt talkin about anything she has said, so dont get all angry at me im sorry if i annoyed you in anyway ok ?

[DinoRAWR]

I know exactly what you mean!
Way before I started cutting, my cat bit me (she is seriosuly demented) so I had two scratches on my wrist. And when I told my friend she was like, "Sure, your CAT" and saying I was an emo cutter, which I wasn't at the time (a cutter, not emo, I dont believe in that crap)
so now every time I've got an injury, she'll be like "was it your cat agan???" thinking she's hilarious.

you just need to hang in there, at the end of the day it's only a few more years of your life and you can forget everyone who made you feel that way and go out and do what you wanna do.
This is how I see it, just an amount of time and then it's over.
Hope it gets better for you.

A few days after a kid named Charles killed himself, the news was all over the school. I actually heard one guy say, "What a loser. I'm glad I got to make fun of him before he wimped out of life"

I walked up to him and punched him in the face. That's by far the coldest and most inhumane thing I've ever heard someone say. :mad: Charles was a quiet guy, but he was always nice to me...
