Maybe the Teacher has chosen the topic so that the students will find out more about 'Emo' people, and people who cut themselves. Then they won't be ignorant or misunderstanding as to why it's done.

I lol'd so bad at the poll.
"Why do they hurt themselves?"
"They can't handle the pain!"
xD

here's a little rant:
i absolutly HATE it when people use the word "emo" expecially for things like this.
anyways majority of the time is because of depression, it's because they feel hopeless, like no one cares in the world. ya that's right, i'm one of those people. and hell i don't even look like it. colorful clothin, honor roll student, wear shorts and t-shirt, love to annoy people so much that people start to get pissed off (: im like this most loud, happyish? looking girl you will find. funny too. do i look emo. damn get so pissed off.

elyzia Virtual_Reality_Syndrome "Emos" cut themselves because they want people to believe they are "emo" or "different". Basically for attention. I know it and I went down that path 2 years ago…. I have a friend who cuts herself and posts pictures of her wrist on facebook. Which I find pretty pathetic. I actually find "emos" to actually not really be "emo" anymore. All they are now is colorful, hello kitty loving, techno/screamo, fakes. 1 reason they are a fake is because their so called "unique style" is copyed and used by hundreds of others. They call themselves unique, and I laugh. Cutting yourself is pretty dang stupid if you ask me, there are LOTS of other options to curing your sadness. Cutting yourself isn't it, you may think that it helps but it doesn't. It only hurts others, and yourself even more. I find emo's pretty offending really…. Because actual people who actually have hard lives and are actually depressed don't go around saying: OH IM SO FREAKING SAD OHH IM DEPRESSED IM GONNA GO LISTEN TO MUSIC BECAUSE ITS MY LIFE AND THIS RAZOR IS MY BEST FRIEND LEAVE ME ALONE and the one thing that REALLY grinds my gears…is when people say: FML or ******** my life, I hate my life, I wanna die….. That's pretty damn pathetic. Oh and also that comes from allot of 13-16 year olds who haven't even LIVED life yet. I'm 13 and yeah days can pretty much suck but I don't say my life sucks because it doesn't, I haven't even lived it!! -End of rant Oh and also one more thing…….Suicide and being suicidal isn't a ******** trend. It's pretty serious and should be taken seriously, seeing a therapist about it. Not listening to an ipod filled with screamo music and cutting yourself….. You're right, you clearly haven't seen or known very much of life. Hopefully as you get older you can learn to respond to all the various ways in which personal distress & mental disorders manifest themselves with the same degree of seriousness & understanding as you do suicide. As a 13 year old, perhaps you only know of people cutting themselves for attention or whatever other reasons you outlined in your rant... But trust me when I say that what those people are doing barely even counts as "self-harm" if it's for the purpose of following a trend. In the world beyond your middle school, cutting is a really serious problem & it's simply inappropriate to be so insulting & judgmental of those who have dealt with & are dealing with that issue. agreed. hello meet a real experienced self harmer here (: happy? ahaha. i probably don't even look like those "people" you were talking about. you can hardly tell, no i don't go around telling people except for those i trust or sorta? trust. LOL i just don't look very "normal" when i'm having those rly shitty days where i'm so upset/depressed/ blah blah blah.
i'm 14 going to 15. i started cutting when i was 11 going to 12. i would say that i was way smarter than you, because by the time i was 13? i tried my best to stop. i understood life more and how i have to keep going even though life sucked. but how will you know that your life is going to suck even more when your 14? 15? who knows.
YOU (virtual) like elyzia said haven't truely experienced life. NO ONE jokes about suicide. sure they might SEEM like they're joking but really? no.
therapist therapist, that's what everyone says huh? many of them just suck, no offense. I listen to my ipod filled with RNB, let me repeat, RNB, not SCREAMO music. and no i don't cut myself while listening to RNB music, i'm not that stupid to do that. I'm trying to STOP here, hello? I only do tat when i'm SERIOUSLY SERIOUSLY SERIOUSLY upset and depressed with no one i trust to talk to.
So no stop sayin tat you know life when you really don't. I'm same as you i haven't LIVED life yet too, but at least i'm smarter than you to know that everyone is different, that everyone does something for a reason, and that i don't randomly post here trying to look smart.
-end of rant
hope i didn't break any rules... ahaha srry for long rant and all i just got seriously pissed off when i saw this.

Since they can't hurt other people either because they're too chicken or just too weak, they resort to hurting themselves to feel that they have some kind of control over some aspect in life. As far as I can see, people need to either hurt, be hurt, or both. I personally am one of those who does the hurting. Anyway back on subject. I believe it's a control issue. People by nature want to control or at least regulate everything around them in some way. In this day and age where full-scale wars don't occur and our governments have essentially become totalitarian ones through misinformation via the media, people feel like they have no control (which is actually very true if you give it some serious thought). So when they can't do anything to control the fate of others, what else can you do but control your own fate? Humans for as long as they could speak and write have always seen themselves as images or even descendants of the gods. The ability to cause great harm or misfortune to someone/s is the very nature of gods. So in a world where they can only harm themselves, that's what they must do in order to satisfy their ego. That's my take on it anyway.
