Tell them to shut the f*ck up and get a life. Emo ISN'T about cutting. Cutting is a form of self harming and that has NOTHING to do with ANY stereotype. Emo is a music genre and style. Just ignore them, maybe they'll take the hint.

You could accept the fact that the world is stereotyped and you are part of it. You stereotype others as they stereotype you.
I want you to know that it is okay that you cut. It may have hurt you but that is the past and you should have no regrets. You can always make a different future.
Also, many people call me blonde and say I'm in 'blonde denial'. All my life I've looked in the mirror and believed I have brown hair. It's weird. So I just don't care. I ignore it and in fact what I do is agree with them and say 'I'm blonde and just fine and dandy with it!'
So you could try that whole reverse psychology thing.
If it's not hurtful when they call you emo, you can accept it better as just a part of what is.

Tell them that being emo has nothing to do with cutting, cutter's are whem someone cuts,but tell them that its stupid to make fun of you while they have their own problems then point one out, it might hit a nerve, adn you might htink it's mean but next time they'll think twice about making fun of you. Good luck,
sincerly,
a fellow emo

Oh and by the way emo is something different to everyone.
The easiest way to describe it to everyone is this:

To some people it is a music, to others it is a style,
and to some it involves self-harm such as cutting.

Well I think you should talk to someone about you cutting yourself so they can help you stop. Its not good to do that.

All that 'tell them to stop' stuff, frankly is BS. In mainstream culture emo is not just a music genre(as it's definition may be), but it's a way of life, this includes dress, attitude and actions (I.e. cutting yourself). So you can:
a) ignore them
b) accept that your in a stereotyped group
c) change your looks and actions.

emo has nothing to do with cutting
unfortunantly a lot of kids and teens think it does though
cutting is self-harm
self harming doesnt make you emo
it means you have problems that you need to talk about to someone
getting them off your chest can make you feel a lot better, so talk to soemone you trust about whats bothering you
