change their name every so often -

If that's supposed to be an implication that I'm someone who used to be here under a different name, that is technically true - but the name change was sufficiently small in scope ( Spook to Spewk ) that no one failed to "get it"...
Second, what does that have to do with this topic ?
Nothing.
At.

Oh My ><
Calm down everyone!
Sure, I don't exactly understand why people cut themselves. I have never inflicted any sort of harm to myself (which does come in many forms), but I do know people have had. Truth be told, all they want is to talk to somebody, but most don't know who exactly to talk to. I think we should reach out to all who are in need, regardless if they are cutting or not; everyone had issues and problems in their life.
And as far as writing cutting poems, hey, yeah, I've written one, and its a good thing to do if you're having writers block. I mean honestly >< Sometimes if you wanna get dark thoughts out of your head, write a sad poem. It works for me *shrugs* -
i have a poem about a girl that cut herself. some people dont understand that people do thta to let the pain out.

ok i write poems bout cutting it helps alot to write about it. its stops u it gets tthe feelings off ur chest and it does help and if ppl have a problem with ppl wrighting stuff like that then they shouldnt read it cuz if they dont like it then y read it. and about stereo types come on ppl seriously y lable ppl? its crazy -
hi
first of if you cut it DOESN'T mean your EMO....... god I hate people who stereotype
Cutting is something that has come to many people’s attention in recent years for the wrong reasons. Although people have been engaging in self-harm behavior, such as cutting, for decades, it has only recently been thrust into the spotlight, usually under the guise of an act carried out by people who like emo music or are part of the emo scene, so much so that the idea of an emo kid cutting is a huge stereotype. The truth, though, is cutting and emo are not actually related in any way.

stop being so stereotypical jamie1....
people write how they feel to get rid of all the bad emotions inside of them... it releases pain and anger just like cutting does. -
IGNORANT FUCKS PLS READ
unless you have been to a place where things feel so dark, you won't understand. Reading this post there is so much ignorance, claiming attention seeking, and all sorts of bullshit. Writing is an emotional release, and getting it on paper (or computer) can be enough to keep people from harming themselves. This being a website it is anonymous, blowing the attention seeking argument out of the water! none of u know me, nor will u ever, so i can admit to having done it, but not for attention, no1 has ever seen it, nor will they ever know. I admit i have a good life, things many would die for, but when depression takes hold none of that matters, and you will do anythign to numb the feeling. So unless you have experienced it, the ignorant cries of attention seeking need to stop, because its people like you who make life harder for ppl who are struggling. Im a terrible writer, but i still do it for fun, and for a release, and God knows i have written about it... poetry is reflection of self, its raw emotion... what could be more raw than someones own personal insight into their depression, i love to read it -
Seriously?
Don't be such a jerk, you don't know what it's like for someone to cut, or someone who used to, so don't trash the people who write about it.
And from my experience as someone who used to cut, and when I did, it was a form of therapy. I didn't have anyone to talk to, and writing was the only way I knew how to deal with what I was feeling inside. Writing helps me get my mind off of cutting, and also, if someone else reads it who cuts, or used to, they know they aren't alone, and it can make them feel better.
Don't trash talk something you don't understand. -
You all think "cutters" are trying to get attention when in the real sense cutting is there release like maybe poetry , music, sports, whatever is for you its their way of dealing with things or sometimes they do it because it is their cry for help or because they feel like its the only thing in there life they can control
-
you know what it is people like you
people who don't try to help
who dont bother trying to pick someone up from the ground
i think that this explains it
( it relates to guys also)
HATE EMO?
READ THIS:
Isn't it funny that when you go to the shops with your friends you look down at the girl with black jeans and studs but smile at the girl wearing a a mini with a t-shirt that barely cover anything?
Isn't it funny you can change your music taste to impress a guy but when it comes to a girl who likes her own music and her own style, you give her a mouthful?
Isn't it funny that a guy can get away with being a gangsta but the emo gets a mouthful from everyone
Are you laughing?
Isn't it funny an emo can be quiet all through the week but gets more *bunny* from everyone than the girl who sleeps around and sells her virginity?
Isn't it funny that you don't mind your friends drinking, smoking but the minute someone mentions emo music you can give them a lecture on melodramatic teenage outcasts?
I'm not laughing
Its so funny that you and your friends can make a girl's life hell and not know anything about the silent battle she might be fighting.
Isn't it funny that you can call emos, punks, goths the retards but still manage to get through your day without an inch of guilt in your heart.
HOW YOU CAN CALL A GIRL A POSER, HOW CAN YOU SAY "YOUR NOT EMO" OR "ATTENTION SEEKER" WITHOUT SPENDING A SECOND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY THERE ARE CUTS ON HER WRISTS AND WHY SHE SPENDS HER LUNCHTIMES CRYING INSTEAD OR LAUGHING WITH HER FRIENDS
keep on laughing
Isn't it funny you can say and do all this without any idea of what is going on in this persons life without knowing her situation with her friends or her family or her LIFE
BRAVE ISN'T GOING UP ON STAGE AND STRIPPING
BRAVE IS NOT SAYING A SPEECH
OR DUMPING YOUR BOYFRIEND
BRAVE IS
GOING TO SCHOOL ON MUFTI DAY AND NOT FOR A SECOND CARE WHAT THE *bunny*S AROUND YOU ARE SAYING ABOUT YOUR CLOTHES
ITS LISTENING TO YOUR OWN MUSIC AND BEING PROUD OF IT
ITS GOING THROUGH EVERY DAY WITH THE THINGS PEOPLE SAY TO YOUR FACE AND BEHIND YOUR BACK AND YOU STILL KEEP QUIET
ITS KNOWING WHAT YOUR "FRIENDS" ARE SAYING ABOUT YOU AND STILL CALLING THEM YOUR FRIENDS
BRAVE IS KNOWING THAT TOMMOROW ISN'T A BRIGHT AND HAPPY FUTURE
ITS ANOTHER DAY OF *bunny*ING AND DODGING RUMORS
keep on laughing
-

GET OVER YOURSELF
"I'm not laughing"
Well, I am. -
Heavy.
Seriously, it's kids like you who give cutters a bad name.
I understand the need to cut, I've done it, been there, got the t-shirt, yadda yadda.
I never posted a poem about it on the internet though. If you're so much about 'suffering in silence', then why are you telling literally the whole world about it?
Whine all you like, but do it quietly, please.

<< reply to '"first off people that have never cut them selves will nevr understand why we al' by DeathLight
There it is. Now I don't have to type all that.
I love the way they say self harm is done to express their little feelings. Guess what kiddies, self-harm ain't the cure, its the disease. And by the way kiddies, many ordinary humans deal with REAL HEARTACHE, dead or dying children, wives, husbands, debilitating injuries, etc, without harming themselves. If you cut yourself ONCE, either get a good doctor and a freaking grip, or use a larger implement, but don't get on the net and look for glory in a behavior that is the sickest form of attention seeking. Yes, I'm familiar with the whole "LOOK AT ME pretending to hide it" scenario. -
Cutting is no joke for some people
It's not just an emo thing. It's an obsession.
I say better to writ eabout it than to be sitting cutting on your self. -
my poems are about cutting and all that
and i DO cut
but im not the only one who does
i write these types of poems because it helps me with pain inside
only coz i have a bad life and its why ive turned that way -
some just don't get it.
when i was a child i used to hit myself. i still not sure from this day why. maybe it was cry for help . but i use to hide it. maybe it was because i felt unloved,lost,unwonted. it stopped when i had my son . i am a strong independent woman.it seems very narrow minded to think that people choose to hurt them self -
if you don't like poems about cutting then don't read them.
-
Hey now. Don't judge.
Would you rather have people cut themselves or write poems about cutting?
That's a rhetorical question.
It's just a release. If you don't like them, don't read them.
Get over it, sissies (:
P.S. I'm not a cutter myself, just talking logic. -
wow for anyone who said cutters are drama queens and attention seekers, get over youurself
thats so not true, ive been cutting for a year and i didnt tell ANYBODY, how could i be looking for attention when i didnt tell anyone? but people started finding out and now im in damn therapy even though its doing nothing
cutting is a serious problem and writing poems help me and im sure it helps alot of other people
dont judge people who cut, that bothers me so much

<< reply to 'hey' by evdrake
Many people on here do actually understand, which is why many of them said to get help because its an issue rather than being openly judgemental and saying to grow up. You should talk to someone, for anyone who does cut, or self harm. If you write about, because you have that much pain inside you should also consider talking to someone.
I read mostly my favorites, and people in same contests as me, and if I don't feel like reading the poetry that I don't feel is powerful, I just don't. I think some poetry about that can be powerful. I've definitely written about cutting however, but as a way to gain awareness and point out that its sad, rather than something to be judged for, however I've never cut and won't for numerous reasons.
I could be alone here, but most of what I write about isn't stuff I've directly experienced although most hinges on aspects of my life and the people around me. Writing is catharsis for me, and I'm sure it is for many of those who cut and need a way to numb how they feel sometimes.
However, to say we don't know, and all of us have no idea is as bad as the stereotyping that all 'cutters' are emo and such- plenty of us to have hard lives and do suffere although we cope in different ways. Drinking and drug use is just as bad because it is also self harm, and by bad I mean harmful- because at this point telling someone it's wrong is probably not going to be helpful.
At the same time- do try to be happy and live- those of you who are a lot younger should at least try and find things you love and stay true to yourselves because that is how you save yourself when you get older. A lot of times you can try to see the good things a long with the negative, and you do need to try to smile and laugh sometimes. Good and bad will always coexist and part of growing up is figuring out how to balance and cope. It's not easy, but its nessecary. -

i used to cut my self. i'm trying so hard not to cut that it actually hurts more then when i actually did cut myself. i'm proud to say that i've gone almost a month without cutting. when people tell me that i'm being stupid and that i should stop hurting myself for no reason i just think. what the heck do you know any way. do you even know what goes through my mind when i cut myself or what caused me to do this in the first place. i write about hurting myself so i won't hurt myself. i'm still in pain but this is the kind of pain that doesn't leave scars. i'm not nessecarily the happiest person i can be but i'm working on it. poetry is about expressing yourself and if expressing yourself includes telling stories that aren't true or giving detailed descriptions of stories that are then so be it.

i used to cut so i no wat to write bout. all u peple need to just bak off if u say its stupid.

<< reply to 'Wanna borrow my chainsaw?' by just rob
Actually cutting in itself is part of a greater psychiatric issue. It's called self mutilation. Some people will cut. Some will dig their nails into their skin until they draw blood. There are many many different forms of self mutilation. If you read studies, you will find that MOST cutters have a much larger issue. It is frequently diagnostic of sexual abuse. Especially in young girls.
I think there are some who may do it just for attention. But then you have to ask yourself, why would they need to go to such an extreme?? Because their real needs in life are not properly being met.
Do a little research, you will be shocked at what you find. Also, though YOU didn't mention it, the EMO fad, is not really related to self mutilation. EMo simply stands for "emotional." I had a TERRIBLE childhood, one day I came home and sliced my wrists to bits. I was only in 6th grade, I had never seen or heard of cutting before. I just felt compelled to do so.
All that to say there is so much more to it than most understand. And writing can be a source of therapy. Cutting is related to purging. When one cuts, they purge whatever it is that has them so upset. It can also be a form of rage turned inward. If you are angry, and have learned that letting your anger show will = being assaulted , raped or beaten, You tend to close your self off. You can not allow the rage to be seen by the abuser, therefore it is turned against your self. Cutting helps ease the rage, and in some cases feels like a punishment for experiencing anger to begin with.

<< reply to 'Exactly, don't read them if you have such a problem with them. ~Pandy~' by HugsForEveryone
but cutting is HARMFUL, by doing it, you are hurting yourself, physically and psychologically, and it worries me when young kids feel like the only way to make themselves feel better is cutting. I'm not trying to judge 'cutters', but i am very concerned. -
people need to stop judging cutters. all this prejudice and telling us to grow-up just gives us all the more reason to do it. emo is a label, and it makes the situation worse, because it can happen to anyone. but i do think it's ridiculous when people do it for attention, or to fit in.
-
I'll bet you anything someone is going to read this board, feel bad about writing cutting poems and then cut themselves.
It's a crazy world

<< reply to 'Wanna borrow my chainsaw?' by just rob
well that just says that you know nothing about the world and that you are a closed mindid person -
We all try and release pain in many ways- drinking to excess, emotional overeating/undereating, drug-taking is a self-mutilation of sorts. Smoking cigarettes is a prolonged suicide. Pretty much any activity done in excess is self-sabotaging..this is why the old adage of 'everything in moderation' came to fruition, I believe.
Cutting is nothing more than a left-wing, less socially acceptable approach and depression is an incredibly narcissistic illness. One can fathom how, when being ao absorbed with oneself- the hatred, the lonliness that somebody might try and alleviate the tension and pressure through cutting.
I have never cut myself, except that one time, cutting onions at grand speed! but what I guess I am trying to say is that it is easy being judgemental, but if we all took a stap back and really reflected upon our own lives, it is very easy to see how we sabotage our lives everyday..our health everyday, and we ALL do it. -
We all have problems. I was a cutter for 5 months. It was hell. I wanted it to be over. Oh yea and i think your chainsaw so i can put 'DRAMA QUEEN BIOTCH!!!' I did this because my Best friend of 6 years was killed by a drive-by. My uncle was shot 5 times. I lost 3 friends in one year. Tucson is such a depressing place. I live in a dangerous neighborhood. And on the West Side. What better way to leave than to die?? but i stopped and now my scars remind me that i can survive and dont judge anyone. it hurts them emotionally. i never called myself emo and im not a jar of pickles so dont label me or anyone. LABELING IS FOR CANS AND JARS!! NOT PEOPLE!! peace out!!
P.S.- If you agree msg me. Dont agree?? msg me too. -
I've self harmed in the past, and during that period I did write about it. I didn't however plaster my personal pain all over the internet. I wrote the poem, it sat there on my hard drive, and usually got deleted a few weeks later.
Write about cutting all you want people, but seriously, we don't want to read it. -
its not that easy to stop either. once you start, its hard to stop. it sounds weird to say its addicting, but it sorta is. just like drinking or smoking or doing drugs is. but it doesnt help if you just complain, maybe you just shouldnt read the poems. not that difficult!!!!
and not all emos cut, i just want to throw that out. -
<< reply to 'What about viewing cutting as selfish? If people who diss cutter and only think ' by k8fairy
'If people who diss cutter and only think about themselves are bad, then what about cutter who cut with out reguard to how their family feels about them no being able to open up to them? Or there friends?' haha you can quote me on quoting this quote, this is a perfect example of prejudice, this whole forum is, you have no right, to insult judge, or critisice each other, because your all putting each other in groups, in a immature way, lie 'ah there old they dont understand' what if they went through the same things? or 'ah they cut themselves they are selfish think of their poor family and friends' what if their family is dead? or they feel unloved by there parents? no one knows anything about anyone over the internet but here you all are trying to shout your opinion at each other, like your all experts, maybe you should stop bashing each other and broaden your points of view, as Coeur said in a much shorter fashion.
k8fairy that had to be the stupidest thing said here.

<< reply to 'Haha. Shame on you. You're judging us for having an opinion that is unlike your ' by Miss Insolence
ha so your saying someones mum could die their family might have broken up they masy have lost all their friends they where just heartbroken but they aren't allowed to cut themselves because somewhere someone is worse off then them? PUH LEEZE who sits there and think mmmh well i guesse i dont have the right to be sad because im not the saddest person out there? is that what your saying, thats stupid as seriosuly!! -
-
WOW. This topic is over 2 years old and people are STILL on about it.
That's not what I'm saying at all, so if you could stop putting that charmingly misspelled paragraph in my mouth, I'd appreciate it. I'm not saying that people don't have the right to be sad. I'm not saying that if bad shit happens you're not allowed to feel upset over it. However, because I'm looking at the situation from a different point of view than you are, my opinion will never be the same as yours. It's not changing anytime soon, and I really don't feel like arguing with someone I don't even know. The only reason I'm replying to your post at all is because I didn't like that you tried to make it seem like I said things that I clearly did not say.
