okay, so there's this popularity fad that's dangerous. I'm in 6th grade by the way. You see, the popularity fad is slashing your own wrists. in other words, being an emo. i know of at least 7 people out of 19 who's done it. i go to a private school and there's only one class per grade so my grade. i've done it too, because well, i wanted to be part of the fad and now i can't stop doing it. but anyway, should i keep slashing my wrists and how do i stop?

Please stop doing this. It is no good. One day you make take it too far.
I suggest writing an anonymous letter to your school, explaining this fad so they can get the word out to parents.
I lost a relative to suicide and it was by far the worst thing in the world.
Please get counseling if you need it.
I will keep you in my thoughts. Good luck.

Not only is this one of the dumbest "fads" I've ever heard of, it is totally dangerous! Stop doing this immediately!!!! Who in the world are you trying to impress? Be your own person and stop this craziness.
Someday, when you grow up (if you do), you'll never be able to wear anything that shows your wrists. You won't have the opportunity to explain the scares as a fad to everyone, most will just think you were suicidal. That will really help when trying to get a job.
You won't be taken seriously by anyone kiddo.

Don't ever follow a fad just because it is a fad. Slashing wrists is a sign of emotional turmoil and of someone who is not thinking about how to solve their problems. Yes, even some 6th graders do have problems, an unhappy home, an alcoholic parent, an abusive parent or siblings, nice kids who get bullied and don't know how to handle it, or simply neglect that no one cares, or no one is really ever there for them. Perhaps other problems I wouldn't know about. That doesn't mean that an upset kid should get YOU to do things that are unhealthy. Life can be long or short. It's best for all of us to eat well, and do healthy things and make ourselves and others happy and try to avoid the bad and dangerous fads that some get into. It certainly will never solve a problem for you to get into another problem. Care about yourself. Find intersting things to you in your life and do them and seek positive friends who also make you laugh and enjoy your life.
One thing you are learning right now is that life is full of choices to make. Makeing happy, healthy choices will make you happy. Wishing good things for you. ..Jay

You have a couple of choices:
1. Go to therapy for your sucidal tendencies.
2. Go to therapy for your lack of self-esteem.
3. Go to therapy for your need to be like everyone else.
4. Go to a history class and learn that it's not a new fad.
5. Keep doing it and die like the coward you are.
