I'd just like to point some stuff out for all u people who are predjudce.
goths, punks etc are not the only people who use self harm u know it's something that I've suffered from because I was severely depressed. I wasn't influenced by any one. this was from the age of 9 years old for christ's sake. The only goth's etc who use self harm are the young impressionable teenagers who see stuff and think it's cool. I know a lot of goth's etc and they are dead against it, they hate it. They say people do it for attention.
But it's not just goth's that use self harm is it? At school I saw a lot of people who had to have councilling because they were cutting themselves and none of them were goths of and other alternative lifestyles.

Twisted fuck up.
I've self harmed and I didn't do it for attention (even though I am a punk) and it wasn't the music or idols which compelled me to do it.
In my opinion, there are three types of self harm.
1, is thru depression, a thing that quite a few of the regular posters have experienced.
2, is for attention, although I'm not dissing this because self harm is almost always related to issues.
3, is what those sick fuck goth rockers do for a thrill.
I know that self harm is a very sensitive subject and I especially know that marylin manson and casey chaos shouldn't promote it.
I don't understand why so many ppl listen to that because encouraging their young and impressionable fans to hurt them self is pure evil.
OPEN YOUR MIND...
ROFLMFAO Very quick Daze.
Lisa, maybe you haven't seen this yet...

Read every single post on it, and then you'll see all the arguments for and against, then if you accept our position, you're quite welcome to stay (obviously). Else if you feel that you will be set-upon and discriminated, you can leave. I have no more to say on the matter.

I've not lost my mind it's inserted elsewhere - hence the limp.

My bad.

I just have friends that are goths and there is nothing wrong with them. They don't cut each other they don't start with everyone. Usually most people ususally don't start with them (even though I've found there are plenty of wankers around who have no respect or thought for other people) They don't harm themselves and they are really funny and happy
Then why are they classed as goths??

It's just I have friends in my group sorta thing and they range from skaters to punks to metalheads to goths and trendies. If people are nice to use we are nice to them but I get really p****d off if people discriminate though.
Like my bf and his band are getting plenty of discrimination, some t**t keeps harrasing them. They arn't goths either.
I agree that people should have their own veiws but most of the time they should keep it to themselves.
Well, that link told you what our problems with goths are. Why don't you just leave it now BL. You've found a fairly comprehensive answer to your problem, now just drop the fucking topic k?

Anyway enough, everyone take care and try to be happy (coming from me..??!!) If I can think positive anyone can <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif">

I didn't lose my mind, it was mine to give away.
and people hurting themselves for attention? at the end of the day - if they are hurting themselves for attention, that's as much as a problem as if they were hurting themselves through depression.
the fact is, if they're hurting themsleves, then they're hurting themsleves, and it doesn't matter why, the only thing that matters is that it stops.
i'm only going to say this now because nobody here knows me and i don't know anyone here ok, but last year i was raped. I yes, I cut myself. And I wish that someone would stop me, because itr makes me feel even worse and with all my other problems at the moment, I'm not in the right state of mind to stop myself, and it's physically damaging.
So don't go on about goths doin it, and for attention, maybe they do actually have a problem, but like my friends with me, you guys don't know about it. because let's face it, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT GOES ON BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.
You can't judge me - YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I LOOK LIKE - but you now know that i do have a problem. So, don;t look at the person, SEE them. And see that everyone has a problem, even if it is attention seeking, it's still a problem.
and you make it worse by making comments like that. saying that they're all fuck ups. well d'you know what - if you can't understand the fact that people do actually have problems - then you're a FUCK UP
<IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/rolleyes.gif"> Now everyone is going to start posting about this shit again.
Let it die.....
