Emo Vs Suicidal The Difference

You know.. this really bothers me whenever i hear someone calling someone "emo" because they cut their wrist. but well this is not emo that is considered to be suicidal. emo is the shortened term of "emotional" yes these people have emotional problems but because of them slicing their wrists it makes them the other term suicidal. to atempt to kill yourself or to succeed. yes its a sort of pointless topic to discuss but its true! i have met many people in my life already that have been or currently are suicidal people. they cut their wrists for dumb reasons as in how they look, relationships, or family problems. seventh grade i was introduced to this problem with this really beautiful girl who rode my bus that carved "death" onto her leg the previous night with a razor. why did she do this i asked? turns out that her and her boyfriend had a slight fight and well she took it out on herself. THAT is the difference between an emotion person and a suicidal. the emotional bottles up their emotions and keeps it to themselves in a safe manner while the suicidal is going to put themselves at risk of death and injury.. one thing that i will probably never understand is WHY they seek enjoyment  or fulfillment out of cutting themselves.. what could you possibly gain from harming your own body and disfiguring it? If you honestly have any reasonable thoughts on why they do this comment! if you have done this comment i want to find out! if you have read this stop calling people "emo" [if they cut themselves] and tell them the hard truth that they are indeed suicidal.
