How to deal with turning emo?

Gal, I’m awfully sorry. It sounds as if you should be talking to a guidance counselor at school. You may need to get some professional help.

Hopefully, your counselor can help.

Good Luck !!

I do the same thing its no big deal… going back and forth with a nail file is a nice substitute for a razor when cutting, because it only leaves small cuts or none at all. thats what I do because I dont need any more problems with my mom. im glad to know that im not completely alone. funmail me if you want to talk.

ok seriousley? emo is a style its not cutting your self. if you cut your self and want to die and write sad or suiside poems then your not going emo your just deppresed. you could be the happiest person in the world and have the greatest friends and an awesome life and still be emo its just a style. and if you listen to scremo that doesnt mean you emo ither ;)

lostandbrok3n is right, you’re not turning emo. it sounds like depression and possible an eating disorder aswell.

your not going emo emo is just a style. seriousley people are so stupid they think cause they cut them selfs there emo but there not. you can be the happiest person ever and be emo its just a style

Evevrybody has those days…and so do i…I get mood swing too. Everybody thinks ima drunk retard because of my mood swings… Anyway, I think u should clam down and ask yourself: WHy am i doing this?? You dont have to starve yourself unless you have a good enough reason to do it. But im sure there is no good reason. Replace your cutting habits with some hobbies or what ever. I dont know why IAM giving you advice on how to stop cutting, since i myself, locked myself up in my closet couple hours ago and hurt myself… cant forgivive myself for that.

emo is a genre of music! cutting and not eating is depression not bloody emo! I go through all this and it is depression! xxXxx
