I hate that the whole 'emo' thing has made cutting seem like a stereotypical teenageer, completely normal, and non threatening action. For some people it really is just a trying-to-fit-in-want-to-look-cool thing, but for most kids it is a real issue that needs to be taken seriously.
Also, lots of kids have cut who never would have if it wasn't for all the publicity over it. It is a good thing to make people aware of the problem, but most of the time it comes across as a glamorized and easy way to get attention.
I don't know, these are just my thoughts. Hope I don't offend anyone.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I do hate the way that 'emo' has made cutting look like a typical teenage thing though, because for most of us that is far from the truth
and i remember kerrang! doing a newsletter about this ABC emo report, and i watched the link to a youtube video of this report and it said "he says hes not emo, but the truth it etched in his wrists" WTF!?? that made me so angry. and one of my friends decided to turn emo and started cutting his wrists and showed the cuts off. its so stupid.
