DefinedEyes answered Thursday August 10 2006, 12:23 pm: Labels are stupid.
Be yourself, people think your weird,
becuase your not being yourself.
Your being what you see, lots of people dress up like that, but its not them.
They arent being accepted because they are pretending to be someone else.
Emo, Goth,, Punk.. they are all labels, people use to describe others, and the way the dress.
I hate labels so much.
Ask yourself, did you have reasons to cut? Or were you just doing it for the attention.
Did you put up fits so you could portray being 'emo'?
Its bad enough that you label yourself along with them labeling you.
You need to learn to love yourself, and the only way to love yourself is to BE YOURSELF.
Everyone gets jealous, we need to control it.
You might be bi? really? or are you giving into todays cultural trend to be different.
Emo is a label, its a music genre too.

There is NOTHING bad about being different,
but theres something bad about being yourself.
Some people try WAY to hard to be different,
but that just makes them all the same.
Because they are all one trend wearing the same clothes, doing the same thing, trying to be different. Just be yourself, and dont say the way you are dressing is yourself, because its impossible. Theres more than one person that dresses like that, and thats all the same,
No on is exactly like you, so thats why its best to just not try to be someone your not.
We were all born different, so I dont get why people try to change everythingn about themself, whent no one is remotely close to being them.
Get help.
Talk to a counsular, or someone you trust.
But take their advice.
Because your younger if your only going into 7th grade, trust me I hear you.
I remember sixth grade it was a horrible year, and I dont even remember why.
Stop the negative thinking, and bad habbits. Because in the end they wont help you at all.
If your cutting is really a problem, TALK TO A COUNSULAR! iTs the best thing I reccomend.
I hope I helped,
and I hope things get better,
Please dont take offence to anything I said,
Because it was all in your best interest,
and I feel very strongly about in-authentic people.
christina answered Thursday August 10 2006, 10:22 am: I know exactly what you're going through. I don't dye my hair, and my hair's not in my face, but I dress/do my makeup the same way you do. The kids I go to school with consider me an outsider, while I think of myself as the kid who's just there. I'm a freshman, and I've been cutting since 7th grade. Anyway, since I know what you're going through, I highly recommend a psychiatrist [sp?] so you can get the help you need, and the medications to help you. Good luck, and I hope things take a turn around for you.
LiVEYOURLiFE answered Thursday August 10 2006, 8:04 am: First of all, don't lable yourself. You're an individual. When I was a freshman in high school, (I'm now a junior), I had the same problem. I cut, starved myself, the whole deal. People considered me insane, & it completely destroyed my social life. I felt that I had nowhere to turn. I finally broke down & told my mom about my issues. She took me to a psychiatrist & I was diagnosed with clinical depression. I now take Zoloft & it absolutely works wonders. I definitely recommend that you get the same kind of help. It's worth it.

Nadia answered Thursday August 10 2006, 5:14 am: I went through the same kinda thing. I started wearing black and all that as a way of expressing myself. I'm now over the whole suicide/cutting thing but i still dress the same way, i guess it's what i'm used to. If you don't feel comfortable in what you wear then wear what u DO feel comfortable in.
At such a young age i'm guessing you're just finding you, 13 was a hard time in my life too, but trust me, it will pass.
keep eating too! if you wanna be able to help yourself you're gonna have to have the strength to do so, and food is where we draw our strength from.
If you're dead serious about fighting the bad stuff you will make the right descisions, trust me. For about a year all i wanted was to get better but i was just SO scared, every time i got happy i'd slide down and get all depressed again. but one day i made the descision, that no matter how scary something was i had to fight my fears. so i did, one day i woke up and said to myself i'm not going to be depressed, of course, it didnt work that easily but over an amount of time with help from some one really special i got into a positive attitude. and that attitude will help you feel better in yourself.
so when you're serious, u WILL seriously try really hard. the first step is the scary one, and it aint easy but it's SO worth it!
good luck to ya, if you ever need to talk i'm here! [ Nadia's advice column | Ask Nadia A Question ]
