cutting is not an "emo" thing.

so, did you know that princess diana of wales admitted to having issues with cutting and other depression/self injury issues. do you consider her emo, weird, or weak? i don't. infact, princess diana is one of my role models. she was one of the most good-hearted and genuine people in the world. she dealt with the mistreatment by the royal family, so no wonder she was depressed! many kids deal with self-mutilation issues and it's not something to make fun of or think of them as weak or bad people. they need help, just as anyone does who is struggleing with some other addiction. studies show how most girls who cut are upper/middle class, well-educated, and has history of abuse or alcholism in the family. if you know someone who is cutting, burning themselves, etc, get them help instead of judging them. you may save their life.
