Why do people call self harmers emo's?

Well....some emo people cut themselves and that's why everyone thinks emo people cut. Its a ignorant society out there.

Emo is not a style! Emo is short for emotional... you don't have to dress in all black and wear black make up to be emo... what I just described is considered goth not emo! Emo is what people call those who harm themself for any reason watevr it might be.. it is not a style.. thats like saying gay is a style... or being smart is a style... being emo has nothing to do with how you dress.. the media just put goths with emos becuz they think of emos as depressed ppl and black is a depressing dark color...

Experience... im gay I know styles... I also know ppl... and yes I know my media.

Why the hell are you hurting your self. It won't change anything, life won't get better. Suck it up.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
