A growing subculture "Emo" fad where teens cut themselves to express their personal pain has prompted concern from parents of children at a Central Florida school after some reported cutting incidents, according to a Local 6 News report.

The report featured a 12-year-old girl named Lisa, who attends Central Middle School in Melbourne, Fla., who had cuts on her body caused by a razor blade. She said the sight of her own blood brings instant relief.

"What does it feel like when you cut yourself?" Local 6's Kimberly Houk said.

"It feels like my anger is gone," the 12-year-old said. "I just feel normal again."

Local 6 News reported that Lisa is not alone and that more girls than boys are inflicting cuts on their bodies.

"Parents at one Brevard Middle School fear for their children's safety after cutting incidents there," Local 6's Jacqueline London said.

Lisa's mom found out that her daughter was cutting herself last month.

"She didn't realize how serious it was until she got a call from the school and found a wadded-up bloody rag next to a razor blade," Houk said.

"It is something we have to deal with as a school," Central Middle School Principal Pam Mitchell said. "And parents need to be aware."

The school's counselor met with parents Thursday to help them understand why some children mutilate themselves.

"They are in pain," school counselor Robert Black said. "They have issues, and they don't know how to communicate them."

"The schools intend to send out a newsletter home with students Friday to educate parents about this problem," Local 6's Kimberly Houk said. "And they plan a future forum where they are bringing in a bunch of experts to answer parents' questions."

Local 6 reported that some preteens and teens show off their scars on their Web pages.
