Why We Shouldn't Hate Emos.

[Machine Head]

Its called a major artery. :rolleyes: Take Anatomy? (sp?)

And why would you put your family threw this.

I can't, I'm 13. :rolleyes:

And they don't know. Wow, lets all go party now, shall we? :rolleyes:

[-Justin]

We shall. As long as lables dont come with us.

Btw dont cut any more or else ill eat you

[Machine Head]

The term has these negative connotations due to people referring to themselves as "Emo" are normally 13/14 year old kids, who ironically in an attempt to appear unique copy other people referring to themselves as "Emo"'s lifestyles.

P.S. The majority of the stereotypes you stated are only said satirically, and I don't think it's within the "Emo" clique to dress in black?

90% of my friends are Emos/Punks, so yeah, you could say I copied them. But I hang around with them all far too much to not get drawn into there styles.

Erm, anyway... Most of the Emos i know are about 16/17 then goths are about 18/19 then metal heads are from like 12 to 19

so theres quite a wide range - i know a few emo/scene kids that are 18 aswell infact -thinks- i only know about 30 emo kids under 16? =\ mostly Metalheads/Skaters are the younger ones.

For starters, Emos do NOT always cut there wrists. You've basically just accused Emos of always cutting there wrists, when they normally cut away from the vein - well I do, anyway. :rolleyes:

And I cut myself because it relieves my stress and anger, and if I'm upset or something, I just scratch myself really hard, I don't always cut myself deeply.

Right... You have some severe problem. How can cutting yourself relieve stress? The only thing it does do is lower your blood levels and make you look like you enjoy pain... What actually makes you stressed? It confuses me, I fail to see why you would put you, yourself at risk by cutting yourself and if you cut yourself wrongly, imagine what your family would think or do when they wake up and see you in a puddle of blood, dead.

One teenage way to release stress is and I do not wish to write a huge lecture on it, is to "jerk the gherkin" so to speak. You may think it is rather discusting, but one major form of stress is sexual stress. I do not really want to hear about your bedroom tales, but that is one way to release stress.

Another is talking it over with friends. Although, judging by your friends "stereotypical type," they probably would tell you to cut deeper. Family members maybe? They'll help you out hopefully, unless your parents are terrible. Why are you affraid to tell them? You do not need to tell them you cut yourself, just say you are upset or stressed out.

Maybe get some sleep? Sleep is good and relaxing, maybe a nice warm bath. Please don't give me a lecture on baths being a filthy way to clean, you are allowed to have a shower afterwards. I do at least when I have a bath.

Why is this whole fad become so big at the moment, everyone stereotyping everyone saying that they're this and that, who gives a damn about some trend.

I'm not emo, mosher, goth, chav i'm just a person who tries to avoid this fad of labelling.

Fad? this is the only fad i know of to predate christanty o.0
Its how humans work, steriotypeing is human nature, its why people act differntly depending on who there interacting with, people make judgments about people, its how were made and what gives us the abilty to interact with others "/

If you had bothered reading my other post, you would have noticed what I ment my 'individual' :rolleyes:


And I do cut myself...?

1)Well id avoide misuseing that word, and use a correct one if you want to put across that meaning...

2) i dont realy care, other than placeing you under the idiot label in my subconsiuos, what you do in your sprare time realy doesnt concern me, idiocy aint no crime.

You Have a great point. Emo's need to look at the life of homeless starving kids in africa. Then tell me Their life sucks.

I agree, emo kids shouldnt complain about their lives, but dont compare it to african kids'. You could say that about anyone who has a minor complaint, people shouldnt feel guilty about where theyre born.
