Its me again, yeah well I know some of you think cutters are crazy but you guys don’t have the slightest idea of what it is to be a cutter. I know its bad and that its not emotionally good for you but its really hard to quit. The people that cut go through alot. They start cutting because they have no other way out. It comes at a high price but you don’t really think about that when your cutting all your thinking about is your depression and your problems and letting all of it out. If you see a cutter that really is actually going through arough time,try to help out,don’t tell them they are weird.

Its me sara again, N-E-WAYZ The fucken lady that said that stupid shit about how emo music is related to cutting is retarded. Like I said cutters may be able to relate but the music isn’t the reason. yeah it is not a good idea because then people find out and they think your weird and soon nobody wants to be your friend. It may feel good but it comes at a very high price, just trust me, I lost somebody I really cared about over this shit(cutting). He meant alot to me but now he won’t even talk to me. It sucks ass. Just sayin’.

hey its me sara again, as i was saying I think that its how you look at it. People that stereotype emo music are retarded. It just depends on how you want to look at it. I think that music is open to interpretation. Like there is this Hawthorne Heights song that says “Cut my wrists and black my eyes” Its not like they are telling you go and cut your fucken wrists right now.I really like emo music, but the emo music isn’t to blame. Sometimes it would feel like I could Kind of relate when I was cutting but that doesn’t mean that its the music’s fault.

well I don’t think emo music has to do with cutting. Depends how you look at it. I used to be a cutter but I’m trying to stop, I used to cut because I was very depressed and didn’t have anybody to talk to and because I was just going through an extremley hard time. Never because I wanted attention. In fact I would hide it at all costs. I would put make-up over fresh cuts even if they got infected, I would prefer them get infected than people to find out, I would wear sweatbands or whatever I could do to cover it up. Cutting isn’t a good idea because then people you really care about look at you diffrently,it just fucks everything up.

hey k…i know you people all think that emo people cut and you don’t feel bad for them ..but what about those people who are not emo and cut…ok i admit it i have but i stopped now and i coverd them up i didnt go around telling people i cut my slef and feel sorry for me! i was depressed majorly..i lost my dad. who was addicted to crack and some other drugs..my sister moved out, everyone in my family fights i was stuggling in school and didnt know what to do ..im am the kind of person who keeps things hidden inside as in i dont show emotions on the out side and it hard to let it out ..so i resorted to cutting….emo???

ok i agree with her that self mutilation is the new craze because it has been lately, everyone seems to be cutting themselves, im not trying to diss anyone if your a cutter but truly there’s no need to hurt yourself we all have problems but we cant resort to cutting to make things better because how is cuttig yourself making everything in your lfe better, it causes attention towards you then people think differently about you, the one thing i don’t agree about that michelle said is that theres ” a new genre of music – emo associated with cutting” we all have our opinions but this one is a huge stereotype and offending so many people who make emo music, who spend their lives to writing and getting there music out there, im sorry but i listen to emo and all my friends do and i dont know any of them that cut themselves not one, one of my friends do but not because of the music, how can you relate cuttig to music, you really can’t cause every type of msuic has emo in it because emo stands for emotion, not once do i hear in there lyrics” go take a blade cut your wrists do it now” if people take it the wrong way and potray there emotions diefferently and turn there lyrics all around then thats there probably and they must have emotional problems but emo has beeen around forever, you cant just bash a type of music because your kid cuts and you try to blams it on something. does anybody else somewhat agree with me?

Amanda – I’m not sure if you’re yelling at me or Malkin. If you’re yelling at me, then I don’t think you even read what I wrote because I was rebutting what she said. I myself and most of my friends are emo listeners and non-cutters. If you’re yelling at Malkin, preach on, but you should probably direct that tirade at her because unfortunately I don’t think she reads this site.

So if Michelle blames emo music for kids cutting themself.I’d like to know what kind of music she blames for kids having sex and other kids doing drugs.
If you are going to talk about the reason why kids are doing silly trends don’t try and turn a stereo type into a fact.
“oh emo kids are so sad all the time, they sit in corners and cut their wrist.”

Hello. i am a listener of this EMO music everyone is talking about. MY WRIST ARE CLEAN. and i happen to hang out and spend all my time with a LARGE crowd of kids who again listen to emo music. NO CUTTING here!?
so where are you getting your facts? something you once heard? So people say emo music is depressing? that makes it a fact? have you ever listened to an emo song? by an emo band? heard them say “CUT YOUR WRIST , DO IT NOW” i know you havn’t . emo music doesn’t talk about things like that . and even if it day say something about being sad. since when is being sad a bad thing? since when do people do everything they hear in a song? i think your crazy.
and i don’t think you know what your talking about.

“There is even a new genre of music — “emo” — associated with promoting the cutting culture.”

thats bullshit. Do so research . find stuff out. before you go and make another artical about something you know nothing about.

thanks
