Self Inflicted Pain - your thoughts on it.

[Yuri]

at the moment I was looking at the emo cutter girl pictures, I was eating a hot pocket...I dropped my hot pocket and almost hurrled at some of these pictures.....why the HELL whould someone put their body through this????!!!! god those were horrific....I use to cut, I stopped a while ago, but I did it for the rush...I had some weird obsession with seeing my own blood, but Ive gotten over it and I dont want the scars...but that person.....O.O had some obsession with pain and suffering...and slowly but surly killing themselves....god......cutting is very bad...very very....bad....

Emo Cutter Girl

the pics on there are totally effed up.

and yea, i agree, younger people do have such fragile weak minds, and people who do things like this publicly, especially if they're a role model can really do affect their young fans.
but some of the fans can be pretty retarded and think this is attractive because "real men can handle pain"
or whatever.
its retarded.

@ GentlePrincess - yea, i went through this stage to, and it was just plain stupid. it solved nothing, it only created unnecessary scars. didnt make the pain go away, just gave you a constant reminder of the pain.

but yeah, definitely. people who do this need help. i got over it once i was living in a better situation.

sometimes its not really for attention. i did it cause i didnt care for my life at the time, i was such a depressed fuckwit i was suicidal at one point, i just didnt care.

but yeah. the point is. it is NOT cool to do sh*t like this.

not cool.

that emo cutter girl thing is really effed up. check it out guys.

But that is good you stopped.

Catholic?

Thats KoOL a true dedication.

I didn't say that all emos dress in black, I was only saying that I dressed that way on that particular day.

Yeah, I'm glad that cutting didn't become a habit.

A ' cool true dedication'? Thank you, I think. ^_^

sis your not the only one that feels that way, im feeling kinda bad right now.

and i think its all my ex's fault.T_T

everytime i see him,
he brings me pain with that smile,
the smile that would make me feel sane,
and make everything fade away.
but he just dumped me off on the curb,
and told me that no one would ever want me,
and that he hated me, and never loved me.
but i still love him,
even though the memories havent faded away,
and that terrible ripping pain remains.
and now that i see his smile,
it makes me want to run away.

That was a very pretty yet sad poem to me. I could feel the pain and sadness in the words. Was that poem meant for yourself or someone else and can you send it to me? I would like to keep it so that I can read it over and over. I hope I don't sound crazy.

It's been a while since the last time I was here. The emo population of this forum is starting to get alarming, and when I say emo, it's those who really think that cutting ones self is cool. DUMB!

Eh, I don't see the point when I look at myself its as bad as being an alcoholic or a junkie, people have problems but you should seek other sources for enlightenment. Do you get an adrelaline rush from cutting your arm or do you just bleed out or risk infection. I know people have problems...serious problems I do too but I never thought "Cut myself and the pain will go away" thats just insane. Why not get Therapy...?????? thats a good option other than cutting a hole in your arm.

I think posers are even worse cant you find another style or way of life to follow, I mean whats the fun in cutting yourself??? Really, emotional release??? Blood fetish?? Does all the pain pour out until the sutures heal?? Tell me, Im curious

No not really. But I guess people who do it feel that the pain is going away by letting the blood flow out of their cuts. NOT COOL!!!

Is it EVER cool?

Is it totally unnecessary?

What do you think of performers/artists who do this? Is it bad media, is it setting a bad example to their fans who look up to them?

Does it REALLY make the "real" pains of your life go away?

Those are just some of the questions I would love to hear people's opinions/answers on.

It got me thinking as I was in the Dir en Grey thread.
We all know Kyo does that kind of thing on stage. or at least he used to, i dont know.
but could that REALLY be attractive?
is it really necessary for him to be disgusting like that?
well, maybe it was for him if the music isn't that great (but we're not here to discuss music)
I think it could affect young fans, they might go ahead and copy what he does, thinking it's cool, thinking it makes all the pain go away, or whatever.

but it's just retarded.
I think self inflicted pain is NEVER okay in any situation.
i think it's retarded.
not attractive in anyway, it's GROSS.

i dunno. give me opinions people =)

and i'm not "targeting" Kyo, so dont flame me, i was just using him as an example.

peace.
Rei

it all depends on the degree of extremity...kyo's brand of self mutilation is ok..but like burning yourself and all tht jazz like total annihilation like breaking bones or sliting throats and jazz is soo unnecessary...true younger people might copy it but thats where the parents should step in and say dont do tht its wrong...but thts not the subject..but anyway like i said to me it all depends on the extremity

Eh just sounds scary to me, like cutters are on their way and one step to suicide. I've never had any friends who were cutters, so I cant really address why they do it, probably as some said for attention or the point I and you made, as a release of pain. I just hope those people get some help before there life ends, you can only cut yourself so much before you really hurt yourself(more than you already have). Like I said it seems much like heroin or or Scotch and addiction, so maybe therapy should be in order for people who continue to cut or even hurt themselves in other ways.

Trust me...not all "posers" have a good life. Sure they over-react but making fun of them might actually make them seriously cut. Not just to get attention...I go to one of the worst schools w/ tons of posers, though some of them act like posers but they really aren't.
