Hi everyone,

I was just thinking the other day about the stigma associated with SI. The whole "emo" thing, how it's done for "attention" and nothing else.

I don't currently SI but I did for a short period of time (a few months), and it annoys me to hear quite commonly in my high school people making fun of SI and "emo" kids. Whenever this happens I'll take the opportunity to say that it's a serious issue.

Does anybody else deal with these misconceptions related to SI?
