What the hell? or, What the Fuck?

yeah, i have more to figure out. i just hate doing it thinking i could be wrong.

anyways, i shit up this thread so i will try to go back on topic with it.

I have some friends that used to cut themselves. They were really secret about it though, but finding out was really really sad. They ended up having eating disorders as well. :(
 
O NOES!!1 MY HART FEELS BAD111!!1!!!1M (ICANT CPOE WIDTAH ATHE SITATION~``~1!1 i htaweE MYSEFL!!1 I WNTAS DIEZ11!@ LAWLZ!!1

I will never understand them. If life's that bad, just like run away or something, I always wanted to be alone and on my own when I was younger, and I was happy when I was alone.
 
Well, if it doesn't work for you, whatever. Cutting is just the way some people relieve stress, I guess. Not that it's healthy or anything, but how healthy is wanting to be alone all the time?
 
If these emo's have genuine problems then by all means stay there and be a friend to them. Real depression comes around for no apparent reason and can be easily misconstrued for being pathetic, when really there's an imbalance in brain chemistry or a psychological imbalance. My flatmate is depressed all the time, but it's out of nothing else but boredom. Sometimes just keeping busy can be a solution to depression. There is a school of thought that suggests that the reason more people are depressed now, compared to 50 years ago is because they don't have any real problems to worry about, they turn trivial situations into major worries just to occupy their minds.

That said, sometimes what these emo kids need is for a friend to give them a slap and tell them to stop being an attention whore. Since when did being mentally ill become cool anyways? Any idea who's to blame for this trend?
 
speaking of eating disorders and all. If anybody has any good ideas how to help out someone who make be considered "emo" then I am all ears. I know this one girl who does the whole 'throw up thingy' and stuff. I would love nothing more to be able to give her a helping hand but don't know how, so if you have the slightest clue, please do tell. And of course I do know to be her friend and stand by her. I need techniques, persauasive ideas, so forth..
 
You've got to be careful not to push her too hard, or she'll pull away from you and you'll lose your relationship with her. Sometimes it's just a phase girls go through. An ex gf of mine had Bulimia Nervosa (Same as your friend) for a while, and everyone was really worried, but in the end she got over it by herself, when everyone had stopped fussing over her.

Oh, and you'll be pleased to know that she can't kill herself by binge/purging. In fact she won't even lose weight. Most fats and carbs are absorbed into the bloodstream before they hit the stomach and, later on, the tonsils. The worst she could do is give herself an ulcer and make the backs of her teeth rot away. You shouldn't be too worried :)
 
no, she pukes herself.

I try to tell her that it won't do any good and that she is the absolute most gorgeous girl i've ever seen. and she is. but she does it because she thinks she is fat and i guess it upsets her or something like that.
 
"Bulimia Nervosa: An eating disorder characterized by recurrent cycles of binge eating followed by episodes of purging. The individual suffers from persistent over-concern with body image and weight but lacks the body image distortion and degree of weight loss experienced by the person with anorexia nervosa."

Purging = self - induced vomiting, abusing laxatives, and getting the food out of your system in an unnatural way.

Also, get her some zinc tablets, they can help reduce the anxiety she suffers when she eats.

sorry, never heard the word used in that way before. I kind of lack the vocab. ya dig.

I can't give her tablets of any kind. 1. She wouldn't accept them. 2. Her father would kill me, in the face, until I was dead. twice.

But I could suggest them.
 
"Zinc is an essential mineral that is found in every cell in our body. It stimulates the activity of about 100 enzymes, substances that promote biochemical reactions in your body. Among its many functions, zinc helps maintain a healthy immune system, is needed for wound healing, helps maintain your sense of taste and smell, and is needed for DNA synthesis. Zinc also supports normal growth and development during pregnancy, childhood, and adolescence, and helps sperm develop and is needed for ovulation and fertilization. "

There are a million different reasons why zinc is good for you. Take them yourself and offer her some as well, or get her a multivitamin tablet with zinc in. All hail the all-powerful zinc!!
 
yea, but her dad is a cop. And you see when her dad sees that she has been taking pills, he asks why. Then from who. Then.........................................
I get raped, and sent to jail.

so suggest, gotcha.
 
By telling emos that there depressed freaks your just doing what they want. All this emo/posthardcore/scene shit is just another fucking fad. There are a few real emos who are actually depressed and need help, but everyone else is just doing it for attention. These cuts on their wrists aren't crys for help there just fucking fucking fashion accecories to go with thier black hair and tight jeans.

These so called "emos" say there emo just to be different from the mainstream. But emos have actually become the mainstream. Fallout Boy, Death Cab for Cutie, Dashboard Confessionals, Taking Back Sunday, etc etc are all bands you see on MTV or Much Music and this is the type of music emos listen too. Most of these emos are just following the fads in music and clothes. There the same kids who listened to punk rock last year and rap the year befor that.
 
yea, but then again, there are real emo peoples. lots of 'em. I know of what you speak though. Still even though they just try to look the scene, eventually they become the scene. Not because of fads, just because they really have some underlying depressing issues.



you tell that to a redneck hulk hogan and see if you can walk away. thought not.
