^ Goths 'more likely to self harm' ^

[HellyBelly]

People who call themselves 'Goth' or 'emo' here are bigger losers than people who call others goth or emo.

I agree with that

[FrozenWhisper]

the only person who stereotypes you is yourself.

Im not saying that it is stupid. And Im not saying that all Emos and All Goths self harm.

But to tell you the truth I used to self harm

At first I thought I did it for the adrenalin rush..it makes you forget your pain and concentrate on the blood that is coming out of yer wrists

But

I know A LOT of people who do it for attention. And maybe thats why i did it too :S

This thread is 2 months old ****. Don't bump "/

It might just be me, but it seems like people from england steriotype themselves more than people in the U.S. If some reporter asked kids in the US if they describe themselves as goths, most would say no (even if others say they are)

People who call themselves 'Goth' or 'emo' here are bigger losers than people who call others goth or emo.

Go You. I have sterotyping people.

But Ok fair enough I said that I thought people did it for attention. But it still stands. I did it for attention because of things in my life. At the time you think its the adrenalin rush. But WAKE UP. It's not exactly giving you pleasure. I have a mate who does it and shes SUCH an attention seekr. It's giving you more pain. And if people didn't want attention then they wouldn't do it because of all attention you get from it wether you ask for it or not. If they wanted to cause less trouble they could just ignore it.

Btw I did it in like....Primary School. Im in 5th year now. :|

I think that most people self harm for attention...I mean why else would you want to inflict pain into yourself...or make scars that people can see :S....It's so that people will see and go "Omg (name), Why did you do that?...Are you ok? *sympathy**attention*"....

And Emo is a genre of Music....Fair do people are Emo...but Emo's are people are into emo music and die thier hair once every few hours... I know an Emo thats the happiest girl you could ever meet

But ok...Goth is kind of a depressing thing. Theres no colour...no fun...I would hate it ...

*My opinions....Im sorry If I offend anyone :|*

Okay.. let me explain.
1. If selfharmers any seflharmer wanted attention i think theyd find a less dangerous and fun way in doing so.
2. I dont think (someone) would of hid their cuts for 3 years, and is still doing it, nd hiding it, would be consider attention seeking.
3. You shud research selfharm and actually find REAL sites involving selfharm, that are true.
Some people do do it for attention, but not every selfharmer does.
Just had to say this.

[punk_rock_rachy]

Fair Point.

But you still get a lot of attention for it.

And

I don't believe I said ALL self harmers do it for attention.

If I did. I didn't mean it. lawl.

Because Its fair enough when people do.

But I can't remember one single good thing about it when I did it. Other than it gave me attention.

=S

Well i know a few reasons which are good for myself, maybe not others, but myself. Which im not sharing. Since this is personal and its about theories.

Edit: And how can someone get attention for it if they try their damn best to hide it? Hm.. some selfharmers, including myself, are secretive, and do everything in ther power to prevent vision on the abuse they do to themselfs ie; bruces/cuts/burns.

[punk_rock_rachy]

Yes I agree. If you try to hide it the best you can then it is obviously for other reasons.

I'm sorry if I offend you.

I used to do it myself.

I'm not going to start again because I am already scarred by the last time and it was about 3 years ago.

But nonono you don't have to say what the reasons are. But I think one reason is that it hurts so much that it takes away the pain of what else you are upset about. Also, It may be that you are angry and don't want to hurt other people, so you hurt yourself to take out your anger. Those were the reasons I done it. I think =S
