Why such the big deal?

    I've been commenting on this through out this forum actually.

    Society labels. That's a fact of life. Just by saying boy, girl, black, white, gay, straight...whatever...you're going to be labled. Just take it and deal with it.

    I hate hearing the words "you're a cutter" but you know what? I've learned to deal with it. I think that everyone else needs to as well, because they labels aren't going to stop no matter how much you bitch and moan about it.

    i hate being labelled like that. im not a "cutter" or a "self harmer" or "self mutilator" i am me, georgi, and im a person. i dont wanna be refered to as that, im a cutter yes, but thats not all i am.

    Georgi:

    You just contradicted yourself. You're not a cutter...you are a cutter? Which is it? If you DO cut yourself then I guess you ARE a cutter.

    im saying "im a cutter" coz thts what people seem to be labelling me, i said it to prove my point

    HaHa So what's your point? I don't get it....You said I am NOT a cutter....and then you said I AM a cutter but that's not ALL I am. I'm confused...

    Either you are or you aren't....Regardless of the "label" you think people put on you. If you cut yourself then I guess that would make you a "cutter" or a "self harmer" or what ever you choose to call it. It's all the same, it's all means the same thing...What point did you prove?

    my sentence was "i am a cutter, yes, but thats not all i am"

    I dont like people calling me a "cutter" but i know thts what ppl will do, and thts what ppl understand. so i sed cutter. jeeez girl fuck off will ya?

    Your are a ditz. You said and I quote, “I hate being labelled like that. im not a "cutter" or a "self harmer" or "self mutilator" You said you were NOT a cutter and then you said you WERE. If you don't like people calling you a "cutter," then what would you like them to call you? YOU ARE A CUTTER....

    he/she didn't mean it as in they are not a cutter, as in they don't cut. i think they he/she was trying to explain that he/she wasn't the stereotype, he wasn't the lavel. he/she cuts themself, but that doesn't make him a typical "cutter". I'd have to agree with that person.

    But everyone has a label...that's just life, whether we like it or not. So all the crying I see about cutters being labeled is silly. It's not going to stop, it will always be this way. If you cut yourself for what ever reasons people are going to call you cutters. Jocks, preps, goodie goodies, snobs, cheerleaders, and all others don't like the stereo types and labels associated with their "groups" but they deal with it....why can't you?

  • ~*Ley*~

    I'm pretty sure that if you went up to a jock and called them a jock and told them they were labelled as a jock, they would get a little pissed off. the fact is everyone complains about being stereotyped all the time, so your statement "all others don't like the sterotypes and labels associated with their "groups" but they deal with it....why can't you?" is untrue. They don't deal with it, they hate it as much as we do.

    They HATE it yes, but they don't whine about it all the time. They deal with it, just like I said. Of course people don't like it, who would? Stereotypes suck but people DEAL with them as should all the "cutters." (or what ever they would like me to call them)

    i think mostly the problem with the label is that once youve got that label, thats all people can see and its hard to get off. what most people ive known do is just label and move on, once youre in that groupo, if its not a group they like, theyt stay away. even if other traits are there that they may like, if youve been labeled, thats it. the trick is to find people who dont do that. it sucks though because you can miss out on friendships that could have been, but if they do stuff like that, you probably dont want to be their friend anyway. so it helps just to say screw them, but sometimes youre the only one who does and you can go through life not meeting anyone who doesnt label like that...it sucks...

    i can see both sides. i don't really mind being called a cutter unless they're making fun of me. because think about it, a person that writes, is a writer. but then i think it's mean because it makes us feel like we're totally different from everyone else.

  • ~*Ley*~

    well, despite what i've posted earlier. I don't really care if they call me it either. and i agree with the above post. but i can see why other people dont like it

    Everyone needs to get over it. You wouldn't be labeled a cutter if your didn't go around bragging about how much you cut....Get over it already

    The internet is the only place most people have to go looking for help. Self-inlicted violence begins with and leads to isolation, fear, and shame.
    It's not something that most people can sit down and tell someone. Why must we agrue about it? If you're tired of reading it or whatever, you don't have to. You don't have to put someone down because they have no other safe place to discuss it.
