When I go on facebook, I see all these quizzes, such as "which stereotype are you?" Most of these have a result called Emo, and say something about people SIing because they apparently "like the sight of blood". This upsets and annoys me to no end because of how ridiculous it is. Do these people who write the quizzes have no sense? Do they not care about the real reasons we do it? Arrrgg
 Just a rant here.

I definitely know what you mean. It is EXTREMELY frustrating, to say the least, because they so easily discount the pain that causes us to SI in the first place, and try to justify it by assuming that we do it to fit in to a stereotype, when that could not be farther from the truth. The label "emo," in and of itself is ridiculous, but that's another rant.
  Try to hang in there, and try to avoid those quizzes if you can. It's a battle that, sadly, we will never win.

Yes.
That really ticks me off. I hate those stereotypes. I've been stated: gothic, emo, cutter, anorexic b****, etc. anything else you can name, I've already been called it and it's not changing. I just ignore them. I try to think that they are just too shallow and they're too ignorant to want to understand. So in my sense: they're going to be how they are, but deep down, it's you who is of more understanding. You know what it's like and you know that they don't understand. I hope that I helped you a little bit, ~dance59326

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
