I first of all want to say how awesome the comments on my last post were. They have some newspapers in the library at school so I'll have a nose through those and see what I think. 
Thanks for the advice.
When you are at school there are certain sterotypes that no matter what you do you can't seem to get away from them. One of these would be "emo". The "emo" stereotype is that of a person who's sex you usually can't tell, is miserable, wears black all the time, listens to music about killing themselves/everyone around them and has a self harming problem. Usually at least half of this isn't true. I know people who I guess would be "emo" and they're funny and happy the majority of the time.
But then, there are the people who feel the need to conform to this stereotype. One of whom, is this girl in my year (who I was certain was a boy up until last week when I walked in on her in the girls loos.) I don't know her, really, since we haven't ever spoken so I suppose I can't judge but frankly she pisses me off. She walks around deliberatly showing off to everyone the cuts that she has and frequently comes in to college with gauze wrapped around her arms and wrists. She makes a big point of showing what she has done to all the girls in her class and even cuts herself in front of people sometimes.
I understand that problems comes in all shapes and forms but I just feel like she's attention seeking more then anything. I mean... I know someone that has a problem with self harming. And... it's scary. It really scares me and I worry about her a lot but it's not something that she flaunts. She's not "emo" or anything like that and the self harming is something that she tries very hard to hide. She only told me about it when she decided that she wanted to get some help with it. She's on anti-depressants now.
Even John, to some extent has a problem with self harm (the hitting and biting himself) and it's something that he's embarrassed about. Whenever it needs to be brought up when we've attemtped to get help for him he asks my mum not to talk about it.
So... what does that make Emo Girl's problem?
Does she really even have a problem? Or... just feel the need to use "emo" in order to create an identity. I feel mean judging her since it makes me feel like a hypocrite but I can't help it. Why should she show off how "emo" she is when there's people out there with a genuine problem?
Or maybe she does have a genuine problem and it just manifests itself differently. I don't know... I just did so much research after my friend told me that she self harmed and I've not heard of any cases like Emo Girl.
Hmm..

I think a need to attract the sort of attention this girl is getting is a problem in itself. She must have very low self esteem if she feels she needs to harm herself in order to make herself interesting to others. Also needing that amount of attention is a very bad sign as well.
I think she has BIG problems - I'd steer well clear of her if I were you - you have enough to deal with. But no-one behaves like that unless they have serious issues, maybe something much worse than self harming that she is trying to mask and gain sympathy for a 'disguise' problem rather than the one she uses as a cover.
Think about it - how bad must whatever is going on in her life be if she thinks self-harming is the 'good' picture she gives out as her public self?
Don't add to the attention though - if she doesn't get the response she wants it may eventually lead to her seeking help for whatever is the real problem.
