Why do emos cut themself?

Question:

my friend isn't an emo, but she's like addicted to cutting her self. she and i are both really scared that she might cut so deeply that she kills herself. i want suggestions for me to help her. i'm really really worried, and really really scared.

Answers:
people cut themselves to cope with emotional pain or depression. you should talk to her, ask her what is wrong, maybe something happened to her like sexual violence, or abusive parents, or a broken love. and then help her!! be there for her, listen to her. something must be wrong. I hope she will stop cutting. and if she tells you the reason why she cuts and you still dont know how to help, then ask me.

the sad thing is that cutting becomes very adDicted. those who cuts dont wanna cut, but they cant stop, because its one of the ways how to escape from emotional pain or depression.

and I see that you really care for her. you are a good friend.
