Some people in my school cut themselves or try to erase themselves. I have a friend that is going through the same thing and she is starting to cut herself. why do you think people would do that?

Well there are two different cases of emo.
The Attention Emo: The person who cuts and tells, the person who pretends to not want anyone to care but makes sure you know anyway. The person that dresses differently, act differently, in a dark depressed way to show their emotion. The person who sometimes ALMOST kill themselves but don't. EX: Take enough pills to make themselves sick. But not enough to kill them.
The reason why i think some people cut and show is to get people knowing how their life is going, let them know that they're sad hoping someone would care since they feel like no one has been.
The true Emo: Someone who acts the same, behaves the same, dresses the same, and acts happy and normal but cut themselves. Someone who truly believes they want/deserve to die and won't let anyone try to stop them. They're stop caring about themselves grade-wise, health-wise and so on.
The reason why I think people would cut and not tell and show is because they think they probably deserve the pain and may be on the verge of suicide.

It is a stress relief for some people! Maybe they are having problems at home or just going through mixed emotions and that is just how they solve their problems!! I had a friend that did the same thing and it hurts to see that but their really is nothing you can do but tell another adult and see about maybe getting them help! and yes sometimes the people get mad at you but its just because you are their friend and you dont want to see them hurt! Good Luck with your friend!!!

i dont know why either but i think a lot of it has to do with whats going on in their life and if its good or bad. if its bad then maybe your friend thinks its her only way out. you hafta remind her thats its life-threatening and things will eventually get better. if shes really upset you could try hanging out with her or having her go to ur house to hang around to get her mind off things for a little while. i would start with that and if it doesnt stop her or at least postpone her mind for a few hours you'll probly have to be more serious about it.

Some of these people seem to think that through their pain they can express emotions and release stress. Others do it for attention. Either way, don't do it. Its not healthy.

Because they find it as a way to take care of their problems. When, actually, it's just giving them more. I think you should talk to your friend about this, and make sure you get her some help.

I just think that they're nuts. I only get cut into when I have to and when I get a blood test. I can't stand getting blood tests.

my friend did that too. the only difference:he's a guy. i had a long talk with him about it and asked him why he was doing that to himself and told him that a lot of people cared about him and i didn't want him to get hurt. it might also help if you told her how much you cared about her. good luck and let me know how it all works out.
