I started cutting myself and I told my closest friends and now everyone is coming up to me and emailing me and chatting with me on a social site and on a social site and asking, "Are you EMO???" WHAT DO I DO? I'm scared that I'll be put into some sort of mentle institution! Even if I stop (which I don't know if I can) people will still think I do! What should I do? I'm scared and upset! Which just makes me want to cut which is the problem! PLEASE give me SOMETHING to distract me!
Sounds like someone is not getting enough attention.
You really want to stop, then stop. There are more constructive ways to be a masochist like exercise and hard work and there are much better ways to get attention, like doing something constructive and excelling at what you do.
If your just into goth/emo and you want yourself to look all morbid and pathetic like count chocula then your going to be amongst a whole lot of other people that are doing the same thing and competing for the most attention. That kind of crap also leads to a lot of spiritual dangers that are very real.
Be carefull, I knew this dingdong that cut herself all the time and she caught methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus which is a bad staph infection that can be life threatening.
If you kids won't quit cutting yourselves at least use some alchohal to cleanse the area and wipe off the skin oils where staph can live and dissinfect the blade before you do it and don't nick an artery, your too young (either mentally or physically) to be dying yet. Being sick with a flesh rotting pus squirting disease like mrsa or dying from blood loss are miserable things and no amount of attention is worth it.
And stay away from devil worship and pagan b.s. its real and getting possessed is serious and not fun.

well I don't know why you cut yourself but im gessing its anxiety-youre nervous- but rumors are just goinng to make things worse so just think of a funny memory or something and soon youll be in your own worls and you wont know whats going on around you lo I don't know if that made sense but it worked for me. and also try weening yourself out of cutting yourself and then soon itstead of cutting, just bite or something... like pretend to have your finger in your mouth but youre actually biting it and then soon you can just like, dig your nail into your thumb but trust me, it will take time... I wish the best for you :) hope I helped
You can write instead of cutting, go for a walk, punk a pillow or something soft.
The thing is that you want to do something that will prevent you from cutting and will get you to take that feeling that you have from cutting. You can't just be put in a mental hospetal or anathing so you don't have to be worring about that so it's all ok.
Try being with people when you feel the urge to cut that way you won't do it at all.
hey dont worry some of my friends cut and when we hang people just come up to us an ask if we cut just because we look emo, an just because we look emo dosent mean we cut. anyways just keep writin and talk lots
if you want someone to talk to hit me up I will have lots of things that will get that off your mind
heehee like tom an bill kaulitz think bouts them :) or just tom
I write too, when I was young I was full of depression and hate and writing while listening to metal helped a lot but nothing ever helped me more than JESUS, now I still write and listen to CHRISTian metal but my writing has more meaning and power and I also have a lot less depression, I still hate but at least now I turn my hate toward the right direction.
oh well I cut to if I get really depressed... just talk to like friends you've had forever and if they are actually your friends they'll drop it and then you can just talk about other stuff
Yeah I write now when I feel like slitting my wrist and dying.
