These sterotypes are pissing me off

[Hatsune Miku]

Im sick of how those immature kids always say "OMFG Y0UR EMOZ" if they find out you cut yourself. Those idiots need to know that Cutting yourself isnt the definition of emo. To be honest, I dont even like that word. The sooner those people get it threw their skulls the better. I mean, I hear this like everyday and it pisses me off. Just wanted to see if anybody knows what i mean.

[Eclipse]

Yup. Even a kid who cuts calls himself emo. It pisses me off. I always hear one of my best friends bein called emo by my other friend because she cut in 6th grade. Now that I stopped cutting, it pisses me off even more knowing I went through that.

[Rutherford The Brave]

Its a bad thing I know. But your always going to get that one immature person who can understand the situation the other person is in. Its a part of life, you just can't let it get to you. Its aggrivating sure, but be the bigger person and walk away.

[NightFighter]

Yeah it can be annoying but im used to it now.
What i have found strange is the fact that now at college i have heard more emo self harm jokes than i heard at school. A guy even checked my wrists because i wore a top with some skulls on it. Luckily he checked the wrong wrist =D Fewf!
Now that was heart stopping!

[BuryYourFlame]

What's even more disturbing...is when you have conversations like this with your 11 year old brother.

Him: Why are you listening to Short Stack?
Me: Cause...idk...
Him: Short Stack are emo and gay...
Me: They're not emo...
Him: Yes they are, they *something that I've forgotten, I think it was something about clothing* and cut their wrists.

But yeh...like other people have said, I guess it's just something that we just have to put up with :\

[Darkness]

I only think someone is "emo" if they only cut to fit to the stereotype, but I still wouldn't say it.
Other than that it's just mean and a horrable thing to call someone.

[Triceratops]

Stereotyping occurs absolutely everywhere.
Just learn to get over it.

[Charleigh]

i was afraid of telling my boyfriend that i self harmed, in fact, i told him quietley and he just said i love you charlie and i will help you

what im trying to say is, whatever you need to tell someone, tell someone thats close to you but you need trust.x

im not very open about it but when im in P.E its kind of a bit obious by the big scars on my arms, wrists even my shoulders, my boyfriend accepts me for who i am and i love him so much fior it, his friend toook the piss and he turned round and said charlie has issues going on but i love you, and from thyat day on ive been so proud of him, just as proud as i am for you guys trying to ignore everything that goes on.

im a self-harmer and i know what its like, im just sayingm, the realn people will accept you for who you are not for what you do or say or anything.

just go out there and live life, like im trying to do

have faith in yourself!

Try my WHOLE school

[Rutherford The Brave]

Try my WHOLE school

My school is like that too, but I consider myself mature enough to not engage in these things. Most people don't but there are going to be a few people who will

[OnlyByTheNight.]

Yup, that is constantly happening in my own school. Infact just last week everyone was talking bout how one of the girls was "totally emo and she like slits her wrists and like she is such a freak" *eyeroll*
You just got to learn to ignore it really I suppose.
But being emo and cutting are two totally seperate issues! Doesn't help though that the emo/goth kids in my year were going round showing everyone the cuts on their arms that they had done "cause they were bored and they just felt like it"!!! Ugh, the people in my school are so stupid!!!

[Grey fox]

I thought EMO was just slang for people who were overly sensitive and emotional.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but surely that is pretty much the definition of someone who self harms? Someone who is out-of-sync with their own emotions???

[MadManWithaBox]

What marcie said, you're gonna find these ignorant imatture little kids almost anywhere in the world. If you see them, all you can do is ignore them, no point getting upset over it. Yeah i think that is what emo means, but kids say in a completly different context. I think thats the right word anyway. like they say it to cause offense

Agreed...that's how I feel about it. I don't have a problem calling someone emo, but I'm blatantly biased towards a lot of people...

[Beautiful Obsession]

You just need to ignore them kids, there just immature and dont understand how hard cutting is to stop. I heard ADULTS talking about it the other day, saying yeah its emo's that slit there wrists and that, it really wound be up!! and then someone turned round and go its cause there emotional, why cant they just be normal..

arghh!! i just wish people would understand! x

Pretty much yeah

Don't cut yourself and you wont have to worry about that stereotype.
If you do, you are going to have to live with it. Hate it or not.

im not a self harmer, but i dont think its that easy to just stop. and people shudnt have to put up with been herrased about "been emo"

Just wanted to see if anybody knows what i mean.You tell people every day that you cut? Well, seeing as an emo person is someone who flaunts their problems for attention, if you do that, then you're definitely an emo. CONGRATULATIONS. =D

I never said i did that. but somebody found out, how? I don't know. And people say it even when you don't self harm. If you cut you're finger while cutting food or something, some idiots say "you emo" or at least at my school they do.

[Lily of the Valley]

Never did I say it was easy, but it can be done.

In my eyes, if you do a certain action and get a certain consequence, dont do that action that way you will get a different result.

A=B

If you don't like B, don't do A.
