Loving Insane


Question Posted Sunday August 1 2004, 2:31 pm

I used to always want to be 'cool', 'hot' 'ghetto'
junk like that. Now I am a 12 yr old punk girl, and I changed in less than a month. I started having home problems, and I started listening to rock. I cut my ankles, and make little pictures on my ankles with a knife. I tell myself it's just play, but somtimes I dont know. Really and truly sometimes I scare myself, I like being strange and literly insane. Is that a problem...

Yeah. Its called following labels, a shout for attention, being a poser, acting innocent, actually labeling yourself like a soup can and believing that listening to rock makes you a punk. Well does listening to techno music make you a fucking robot? No it doesn't. Grow up, don't look for attention, and don't follow labels.

You cannot change from "ghetto" to "punk" in less than a month. Blink 182, Sum 41, Avril, Good Charolete, and etc are not punk. They never were punk and they never will be. I just want to make that clear to all of you. I find it that the definition of punk rock has become so narrow that it is not what punk was supposed to be about. Originally, punk was born out of artistic freedom and a really left wing political sense. It's got nothing to do with that now. I find myself saying to people, “Listen, just because you have a Mohawk and you look punk doesn’t mean that you are.”

I'm only judging you to not be actually punk because of your quick change from ghetto to punk.

My advice for you: Learn what punk actually is, learn about the music and the actual lifestyle.

Rock music isn't why you cut, its because thats what the "punk rocker" stereotype has come to be, that all "goth" and "punk" kids have huge problems and they have to cut because of it. You aren't being true to yourself. Look deep inside of you and figure out who you truly are and don't conform to the media's stereotype of what "punk" is today. The only reason you're cutting is because it's what's "in" today. you can overcome it if you want to. It's your choice.

Just don't blame your cutting on your "so called punk lifestyle"

Yes this is a problem! I mean being punk..no that's totally fine. Listening to rock..no that's not a problem..But cutting your ankles? That's a problem! You should get some help! It's okay to be strange and literly insane. But not to hurt yourself! That could turn into a big problem! and your only 12! Please stop hurting yourself! It could really turn into something bad!-BlOnDy**

being different, or strange isnt the problem at all. it's the cuttin! cuttin is a very serious health problem and could be fatal. please talk to a councelor, a parent, a good friend, a teacher, a pastor, or any other adult to help get u to stop.

Please don't cut!!! Go talk to a counselor. Your school counselor can help you find one and tell your parents/guardian that you want to see one. They can help you and everything is confidential. Cutting isn't play... send me something if you need more help, i'm here to talk!!!
