There's nothing "emo" about cutting yourself. Do you actually know what "emo" means?
People who cut are not "emo", or "scene" or anything like that. They are quite simply, and most importantly, troubled. To one degree or another, they're troubled, that's all you ever need to label them. Some cut for attention, some do it because they generally feel it's the best way of dealing. Either way, these people need to be spoken to and helped, not catagorised with a pathetic label that isn't even accurate anyway.
People need to stop using "emo" if they don't know what it means.
