Is it wierd for a guy to be emo?

Im 12 and in 7th grade and i cut myself. Though ive tryed to get help i just cant seem to man up and go to someone. Anyways i was researching it the other day and everything i found was all about girls being depressed and cutting themselves. Is being a guy and cutting not normal?

It is normal, it’s just more pronounced in girls. Mostly because, like so many other things, guys are too proud to confront that they have this problem.

Don’t be afraid or embarrassed to ask for help. That’s the only way you’ll get past this. Trust me, anything you tell a therapist won’t shock them. There are boys who have to deal with sexual abuse, incest ect. It doesn’t matter what your gender is. You just need help.

Don’t listen to any of the jerk-offs on here saying that you’re not “manly”. They are obviously so insecure about their masculinity that they have to prove it constantly.

Trust me, girls don’t find guys like this manly at all, we think they’re arrogant and ignorant.
