| My ? is Emo and also has a lot of baggage. From the research I have done which includes talking to her and her friends who are also emo's I am getting the impressions that most of these people also have had huge problems in their past and this is their cry for help. Cutting yourself actually lets out endorphins and so in return this makes the person feel good. It is usually done after a bad experience, fight with someone etc. My ? is also a lesbian which was also a huge shock. When we got down to the nitty gritty of it all we found that she was abused by a man and thinks that all relationships with males will end in rape. She gets tattoos not because of the "art" reason or because they have a special meaning but because it is another way she can inflict pain on herself when she is feeling down. She is currently out of a job and trying to pay off a $20 000 loan the bank thought was OK to give an 18 year old. I am not saying that all Emo's have a similar problem but all her friends have either been sexually abused, only child, etc etc and I think are crying out for attention. This is just my view but would like to know if anyone thinks along the same lines - again I would like to add though that this is not the case with all Emo's. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| THANK YOU!bout time some one finally saw that we can be who we wont to be and not really care wat other pple say.... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Oh for heavens sake people! Blonde and bubbly, dark and mysterious, emo, cheerleader, goth, popular...Whatever! Why must we have labels? Emos are great and it's not always a phase. Let people express themselves. All this garbage was discussed when goths were first around, and believe me, THEY haven't gone away they're just more accepted - as emos will be one day. My teenage daughter is borderline emo and I couldn't be prouder. Why? Because I'm a goth, and have been for decades!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| im emo and im 12 i think bein emo well 2 me is justa thing im goin thro but at the same time i think i will most depressed emos cut themselves and sure we dont do normal teenage things we tend 2 like darker more painfull things and we just like bein alone and wearing dark gothic/emo clothes | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| EMO's make me sad. Why would someone so young be so depressed? They are at an age when life should be filled with fun and friends and yet they seem to be totally out of touch with normal teenage things. I really don't understand why they dress and look the way they do but I am sure they need help. humblegenius reply really stunned me, "She wouldn't be an emo if she was dead". My God is this how they think? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| She wouldnt be emo is she was dead, just saying. Seriously, I dont get the emo thing, cheer up, its not all doom and clost for christ sake. |

| lady u have no idea what u are on about im a teenage boy who is also an emo but we do not consider our selfs as a cult if some ones kid becomes emo its not because they have an emo friend its because they have a choice they might not wont to be like every other person or they are going through something that is making them sad its not other people making there kid change its them selfs and we as emos do not kill our self its called self pain its something that helps with our problems and the way we feel we dont kill ourselfs if some one does that its not because there emo its because there must of bin something really traumatic happen to them and us as a cult is the biggest *** of **** i have ever heard we dont go around making sacrafises do we no AND WERE NOT SICKOS!!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Okay. Emos are not that bad. I would know because if you must know i'm emo, and just because your daughter is emo doesn't mean you need to freak out. Just let her be herself and everything will be fine. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| i have been reading the post replies and i believe you are very right about the fact that these people turn out to be pretty interesting people. they are interesting because there are not many of them and society are afraid of new ideas that express humanity as it is - not as a mask. go girl. please check out my 360blog if you choose. i am all for the uplifting of human condition. acceptance and exploration is far better than gossip and idle ignorance. have a great day! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "They're just teenagers." That's all the more reason parents need to be informed about their children's interest, whereabouts, and friends. Teenagers are minors. Parents are legally responsible for their children until they turn 18. After that, It's up to them. It is unfortunate that EMO teenagers are into dark clothing, hairstyles not in the norm, and I believe Emma Landing stated, "act like their morbid lives are ending." One thing that parents and children need to take into account is that, especially, if you choose to be different, don't be surprised and upset because people treat you different. The emo teenagers are CHOOSING to be different, therefor, when the teenagers get reactions from those in the norm, why be so upset and surprised. THis is something one chooses and it is not something that "just happened" to them. My advice....don't be the victim. If you choose to live an EMO lifestyle than you really need to be strong enough to accept all of the criticism and be strong enough to be different because you will be treated differently. So Emma...if it's just an act, when will EMO kids get to know who they really are? If one is having to "act" out their lifestyle, how and when will they get to know their true selves and see the beauty in who they REALLY are and how instead of seeing the dark side that dishes out nothing but negativity of their lives all the time? If one chooses to act EMO, do it in moderation and do not sell your teenage years out because you can never get that back. You only have a little while to be a kid and the rest of your life to be an adult. What you do in your teenage years have a direct impact on your adult life. |
