No. I used to cut, but not my wrists. I did it on my hip so that no one would see. I only did it briefly, and I DO NOT recommend it to ANYONE FOR ANY REASON. Cutting doesn't solve anything, it only makes your sadness worse. Trust me.
But no. Being emo is not about cutting yourself. That's just a stereotype.
It kind of bugs me how people get so pissed about people saying that if you're emo, you cut, but then they do. I understand a lot of people do, and it doesnt solve anything, but it just makes the stereotype mostly true. If you cut yourself, dont call yourself emo. It just makes it harder for everyone else. -_-
I don't necessarily cut. Well not with blades or scissors. I use like school supplies. Like notebook spiral binder thingy. I sharpen those.
^^^^That had nothing to do with your question did it ?
No, you don't have to cut, that is such a stereotype. But I don't blame you for asking. I asked myself and others a few months back. SO DON'T FEEL OBLIGATED TO CUT! It sucks, it causes so many scars. I am 12 and I started and now my arm is all scared up. Its very VERY hard to stop. Also to hide.
