The original EMO girl post which featured the unknown mutilator who we believe is named Joan is by far the most read and commented article on Crimes & Justice. I felt compelled to put an update with additional photos to bring attention to the act of cutting and how important it is to get help if you find yourself going down that path. In the original article, many people who commented admitted to cutting. I feel so compelled to reach out to you and let you know that you are not alone. There are many people who are self-mutilators and you must do something about it. If you know this lady Joan, please reach out to her and give us an update on what happens. We wish her only the best.
It’s very obvious that she is into extreme cutting. In the pictures she is utilizing medical pans, needles, and even cuts and stitches herself back up. She is leaving herself prone to serious infections and death by doing this.

Right I’m not being funny, But I am currently trying to come out the otherside, IT IS NOT ATTENTION SEEKING! I have just left school, After I finally had to confess to a teacher beacuse I needed medical help. After a major cutting incident. She saved my life, got my the help I needed. I have full respect for this person shelling light on the subject, People need to know about it. Sitting here crying, this girl isn’t someone to admire. Brave, yes. Please don’t ever say it’s attention seeking because it isn’t…. =[

This girl probably has psychological issues that none of you could even imagine. If she is schizophrenic she probably doesn’t have the ability to seek help in a logical manner. However, you think she is stupid, a fuck up, and should just die. But if you actually took some classes outside of high school that dealt with abnormal psychology and the way the brain functions when things go wrong, you’d see that really it’s not her fault. Sometimes the brain works in really mysterious ways. The way that you think is not the way that she thinks. It’s in her genes, in the chemistry throughout her brain body that makes her think and act like she does. You closed minded people have no reason to judge her. I’d blame your stupidity on your brain chemistry as well, but really it’s just the fact that you are apathetic and close minded. But each to their own I suppose.

ok trust me you do not want to become emo. scene and goth is fine for the clothing and looks, but being emo is really stupid your only causing more problems for yoursel.
when your 30 years old, you will think, WHAT THE FUCK WAS I DOING now i have all these scars on my arms, and everyone will see you with those scars and ask you, WHY DO IT? and you reply: i was being bullied. the person who you tell that to would either laugh or think your crazy!
just think of what your doing, if any reads this who is about to go *emo* i really seriously hope you chose to see someone, i dont want you to kill yourself trying to make yourself feel better. dont do it please!

IF she wanted to die A.S.A.P like it says on one of the pics, she could have got a gun, or simply cut her throat, this way of seeking attention is simply stupid (well…pretty any way to seek attention is stupid).
Pity won’t make you feel better, remember that kiddo.

ok,one thing i want to point out:EMO DOES NOT MEAN YOU CUT YOURSELF!!!so stop calling this chick emo!if you call yourself that and you cut yourself then your just a wannabe and a poser!in fact,emo is a music genre and a harmless style!
but on another note i belive this woman needs serious help.this is a drastic and horrible thing to do to yourself..i hope someone finds her before she actually kills herself.

I HAVE IMPORTANT INFORMATION!!!!
Joan is a Catholic or Christian, so if you search the churches in the area that she lives in, maybe you can catch a glimpse of her!
And heres a brief description of her:
Her hair can vary from light brown to dark brown
She probably doesnt have blue eyes, those are just color contacts
Shes tall, maybe from 5″9″ to 6 feet.

I think that anywho cuts themselves are retarded…im a 15 yr old kid who goes to hs…..i dnt see y this bitch does this…for the attention? Mayb because she is turly troubled…and if she is then she should go see someone…. I mean really…what is the point…to kno that you can take more pain than some1 else or sumthin…im just tryin to say dnt fucking cut urself, cuz the world and the pple who live here is already fucked up as it is
-ps and for the chick that keeps cytting yourself…how bout u fucking think what your doing and why..and ask yourself…is that a good reason…and dnt let it b a death in the family or aome person u loved that broke your heart…cuz if it is…MOVE ON

Hello, I’m Allie. When I was 14, I used to cut myself like Joan. I’m 15 now, and i still cut. I need someone to talk to, but I’m not as crazy as Joan. Not to sound rude or anything. A week ago I had seen pictures like this on a myspace account, I’m guessing this is her? I’m not really sure. What I’m trying to say is that Joan proabable has no reason to cut herself, sometimes people just do it for the fun of it, or we do it because we have problems. I watched my wounds slowly fade into scars now, and I am a changed person. If I can change, so can Joan. She needs the help, bad!…

Picture # 10 reminds me of the one on my left wrist. I was mad and I cut myslef. I was actually amming for the other side of the wrsit where I could see the blood vesals but cut open the top. I bleed a lot. and I was scared. I didn’t tell my parents. I but a bandaid on it and prayed to be alive the next day.
The pain wasn’t like scraping you leg on the pavment or getting punched in the gut. It hurt when you touched it. Now, it has closed up and I now live with the memory for the rest of my life.

Wow…where is this world going to? What happened to this girl that made her like this? It couldn’t just be a cry for attention if she cuts herself THAT deep. The people that do it for attention graze their skin, they’re too scared to go any deeper. Something happened to Joan to make her do this. This is a serious problem…I wish I could do so much more for her, I wish I knew her, but I don’t so whoever does know Joan, please take action as soon as possible, she needs some serious help…

Hello this aint fake nor the new trend you punk ass motha fuckers call EMO. its real dammit i am a cutter and have been for 11years i recently got help for it and I hope this girl realizes she could die from that my last cut was 2inches long a inch wide and about deep as you can go i went to teh muscle and i lost lots of blood and almost died. I suggest she gets help. the reason we cut is cause people like you calling us crazy and emo its a let down brings us pain so to release it we cut the deeper the more pain comes out.

La verdad sumamente preocupante… pero que podemos hacer… nada !!! … tal vez nos quejamos o nos burlamos pero entendamos que no se necesita ser emo u otra cosa para llegar a la autoagresion… esa chica carece de amor por si misma y llama la atencion de los demas mutilandose… porque para ella es algo, como decirlo, como una atraccion… porque sabe que gente como nosotros/as veremos las fotos y le daremos importancia porque nos preguntaremos que es lo que le sucede… entonces antes de decir nada entendamos que esa chica esta completamente perdida en la idea de que eso es llamativo siendo para ella tal vez la unica manera de llamar la atencion… sabiendo que en el mundo podes llamar la atencion con buenas obras o yo que se (hay tantas buenas maneras) no causando lastima y desagrado… sin palabras!!! pero les quiero expresar lo que pienso asi opinan si les pinta aca dejo mi msn HotEmo_Flavia_BlackRose@hotmai.com

Yeah. Sorry. If you call yourself emo, you’re emo. It IS just a fashion trend after all. Look, I have BPD, and I absolutely loathe you kids for going around making it out like anyone who has the disorder is “emoooooo”. People who REALLY have emotional problems are looking for help and you damn kids are cramming up the hospitals with your fake-ass problems. I am so tired of these damn childen. They all dress the same and then say it’s a “state of mind”. I wish I could punch ever skinny jean wearing jerk in the face.
Seriously, this girl DOES need help. But she has something more then borderline. NOBODY gets this much satisfaction off hurting themselves.
