HOW DO I KNOW IF I AM EMO?

i answered:

Cutting yourself doesn't make you an emo, it just makes you wet and red. Emos only cut themselves because they think it makes them 'hardcore' and deep. In reality it just points out what stupid attention whore trend following vapid idiots they're being.

Cutting yourself is possibly the dumbest thing you could ever do, aside from suicide. It doesn't fix anything, it just gives you more things to be angry and upset at. You know you're smarter than that.

Stop doing it right now, and never do it again.

You need to find another, more productive way of expressing your anger. Boxing training? Mountain biking? Art? Write some really bad, teen angsty songs. Do something to express the anger, and all the other emotions that are flooding through your body and mind. We all go through it, there are plenty of people you can talk to about it.

Felt the same way as you ten years ago, took up smoking weed. Didn't resolve the problem, so I kept trying different things until I found something that did. Now I like to fix things, and build model cars and planes. I do still enjoy the (rare) occasional toke though...

That's all
