The 'emo' sterotype and discription is ridiculous

My friend was cutting because she was really suffering, and it was a way for her to handle her pain, and maybe she was unconsciously or consciously doing it as a way to get attention from people she didn't feel cared about her. What she needed was support, and help.. she didn't "deserve" to die. People go through shit, and have pain.. and some people handle it in a way that isn't helpful to their bodies, and as a way of escape. I think having compassion for people who do this, and giving them support is really important.

Bah, constant whining. During my childhood, I appreciated life. I made damn sure I did. Why? Because you only live once, and you should be unallowed to abuse yourself to an extent. Cutting yourself is mutilating the body that is used to enjoy life and it's services. To live is a privilege and only that. If you want to die bad enough or make it look like you wish to die, than so be it. Anyone who threatens to commit suicide and rants about how piss-poor their life is perpetually over and over again deserve to die. Why? Because if you make it look like you wish not to live (Even if it is some act to obtain attention) than you deserve death itself. Either that or severe punishment to make you discontinue your actions that render you unworthy of the skin you possess.

This is where you miss out. These people do not deserve compassion. They have not earned it. That is how you feed into their little game. Do you think it's Logically correct to let someone live who does not want to live or does not appreciate the gift of life?

Who are you to tell somebody how they should be living? Maybe not everybody is like YOU, as perfect, and unemotional as you make yourself out to be. Sorry but people do have emotions and pain and struggles. I'm not saying that cutting is a healthy way to handle your pain, or that people don't cut because of self pity. But people may need support to help them become more aware of what they may be telling themselves, and to talk to about what they are struggling with..

Did I tell you how to live? No I didn't. Did I say I was unemotional? No. Did I say I was perfect? Hell no. Being emotionless is difficult, and is arguably impossible. Taking it overboard is over the limit. When you start to spread or share hatred towards life, you do not deserve it. If you hate a dog, or mutilate it, or cut it up and abuse it . . . Do you deserve that dog? No. That analogy applies to yourself as well. You don't deserve yourself if you do not treat yourself right.

You are such an idiot, people often don't cut because they wish to die. They commit suicide if they wish to die. The reason cutters do what they do is often the exact opposite to wishing death upon yourself. So it shows how much you know about the subject.

Cutters do what they do, more often than not, because they feel so emotionally/mentally numbed by something that they crave intense physical sensations to let them know that they ARE "alive", to feel alive. They make themselves feel pain to let them know that they are actually alive. Naturally there are exceptions, and in the case of depression, people do it so that the intense physical pain takes their mind away from the internal pain.

Some people do this over the smallest things, some people do it over greater things. The fact is, cutters don't want death, they're not often suicidal, it's anything but that. Hence why the process of cutting usually involves a slight or non-lethal laceration and then applied pressure with a towel or tissue. They don't want to die or bleed to death.

I suggest that before you start talking about a subject, you do a little research into it.

If someone doesn't want to live, then what business is it of yours? Failed suicides can happen, but most of the time those people don't actually want to die. If you wanted to kill yourself, there are ways to make sure it happens, and you see this in every "successful" suicide story. Someone decided they didn't want to live, they killed themselves.

So by your logic, those who follow through are doing the right thing, and you should have no problem with those who don't. If someone is saying "I want to die!" and you say "Kill yourself!", what if they don't? It's clear they don't want to die, i.e: They appreciate life, despite what they say. You clearly don't appreciate the idea of "life" much, because instead of simply living yours, you're trying to involve yourself in everyone else's.

So either start making some sense, or keep your witless interpretations to yourself.

I don't think its a good idea either, or thats its healthy.. but i don't think that means they don't "deserve" that body, or that they shouldn't be here. I think it means they need to find a healthy alternative to work with their pain, just like people who use other ways like drugs, eating, etc.. Hopefully people can get help, and become more aware.. and take steps to feel better.

That was boring and nonsensical. Time for a dosage of reality.

Let me start with this:

Who said cutters wanted to commit suicide? Learn how to read before you jump the gun. I said those who threaten to commit suicide, or take cutting overboard deserve death because it's painfully obvious they are not appreciating life. People that spout off nonsense like "Omg! I wanna die!" and seek attention deserve death! It's foolish to think otherwise. Not only are they being attentions whores, but they are imitating those who truly wish to commit suicide.

I do a little research? Don't be a brainess tewl, AC. It doesn't take a Rocket Scientist to see that Emo's are socially deprived, attention seeking morons who perpetually threaten to cut their lifelines to obtain attention. They deserve death. Only that. Or the worst punishment possible, which I can only see as death.

Why is everyone agreeing with AC? Epsilon Zero clearly states:

Firstly, you're in no position to be calling anybody a brainless TOOL when you are blindly subscribing to the false definition of emo set forth by the mainstream media.

Second, if people want to whine about how much they want to die, but never follow through, then what business is it of yours? They clearly do appreciate life or they'd kill themselves.

All you did to retort was "Nah, they deserve death.", because you simply lack any available retort.

God are you seriously stil arguing about this? I really don't think the emo subculture is worth your time.

There is no emo subculture, but if you don't get that now, you never will. You think MCR are an emo band after all.

Five pages of people arguing and none of you seem to know the real meaning behind emo is emo philips.
