Snapped Lead

Shallow teenagers recently have taken a liking to organizing themselves into a category that they think they truly belong to.

But is that really it? From what I have observed, many people simply try to label themselves just so they could get into the “in” crowd. Simply because it’s a trend. Because emo fashion seems like a famous trend right now. And then, there are people saying that EMO isn’t about what you wear or the music you listen to. Yeah, right.

I have issues with whiney emo people despite the fact that they do not harm me, but I honestly have no idea whatsoever why they feel the need to cut their wrists, to carve names and other cliches with their blood into it and go out all black with kohl eyes and hair covering half of their faces. Heartbreak, pain, abused trust, even identity crisis . . . is any of these reason enough to do pointless things?

 Of course it isn’t. People who cut their wrists, people who write on their skin using a blade and their blood, are what I thinkof as desperate people who are too immature to understand that doing things like that doesn’t do anything good to you. It doesn’t help you overcome your problem.

Two days ago, someone tried to cut her wrists with a cutter. This girl was recently dumped by her boyfriend (is HE even her boyfriend? oh never mind). And guess what? She was cutting her wrists right behind me. For some reason I have yet to realize I found it very insulting. Am I some kind of a shield that’ll give you a hiding place where you can cut your wrists? That was ridiculous it’s almost funny. Why not just show the world how broken-hearted, how desperate you are?

I don’t get the point. Why do they cut their wrists? Sometimes there’s a tiny part of me that hoped one of them would die. That one of them would happen to cut a vein and lose so much blood and find it too late to realize their mistake. It may seem harsh . . . but I’ve always been harsh anyway.

Another thing that’s tugging inside my head is the issue of girls suffering from trivial love problems. I may not have any experience in relationships but I’ve observed and learned too much. Usually people who engage in commitments shortly after knowing the person or allowing the guy to court end up in an unsuccessful relationship. I think girls should let the guys take his time and really see if he is worthy of your devotion and yourself, obviously. If the boy is truly loyal to you, he wouldn’t give up too easily. If he couldn’t wait for a few months, let alone weeks, then why should you bother? I don’t think it’s worth it.

But then again, who am I to counter people’s decisions? I have no right to tell them what to do or what not to do. But it doesn’t violate any rules to give advice, does it?
