Oh damn...I can't find that USB wire anywhere. FUDGE!
I wouldn't be able to prove me not emo.
Oh well. Back to the subject...no comment. Just don't talk about me anymore. Can't stand it. Talk about other emos. This ain't about me.

I never said you were....words fail me because you said being an emo 'was a very....depressing experience' you keep throwing that word around even after all people have said

Oh and I wasn't having a dig at you in my previous post. I was generalising about general emos. I just happened to agree with what VR said about depression

*gives up*

That's another thing, though. The word "depressed" is raped more than a skinny man in prison and has lost most of its meaning.

Haha nice imagery, but that's so true. If somebody's not feeling particularly cheery, they will say 'Ugh I feel depressed.' even though they will get over it in a few hours, I know I'm guilty of it anyway. It's like when people say 'I love this chocolate!!!' when they don't really love it. But anyway, yes, sometimes I say that I feel depressed without really thinking about it, but I don't go all emo about it and will usually cheer up in a matter of minutes. I have rarely heard the word 'depressed' being used properly.

It's used when someone breaks up from their two week old boyfriend/girlfriend, or when they don't get their pocket money that week. Depression is being confused for anything affiliated with discontent. Should they suffer from real depression, they would not be declaring it, or publically denying any untoward accusations.

What kind of paedophile emos do you know? :P

*ahem* Anyway, I'm only 15 but I have already come to realise that being in a relationship isn't thee most important thing. With emos, it's like they get dumped because they are so morbid, yet they are morbid because they got dumped. Unless they find an emo girl to talk about how much life sucks with, but it is more likely that one of them will grow out of it and leave the other.
 
They don't bother me to be honest I don't associate myself with them and they don't associate themselves with me but if any of them attempt to start a conversation then I make sure they stay clear of the whole suicidal and depression issue soley because it bores me.

Well now, 15 and you've already realized that? Thank god, I'd lost all hope for teenagers today.

Ya know that very last sentence is precisely why I broke up with my gf. We're still friends, but when we met a year and a half ago, we were both emo...so we had depressing shit to talk about and that was pretty much all we had in common, and we just clung together in our BAWWWWWW-ing. But now I'm pretty much the direct opposite of emo, and it just got...tiring...being in a relationship with a person who was forever going on about her problems and blowing them out of proportion and not taking advice or even attempting to have a better outlook. A person doesn't really contribute anything to a relationship when all they talk about is how much everything sucks. I dunno, maybe I'm not a good bf for leaving her, all I know is it drained me being with her.
 
I do believe that there are people out there who are "emotional vampires", people who do just talk about how life sucks and drain the energy from the person they rant to. I'm all for lending an ear to someone who's feeling down but there's a point when it gets too much and you have to get out of there. Meh, my ex was like that, and when I tried to leave he tried suicide, eventually I had to run away from him. He was a true emo.

I myself have no trouble with emos as long as I don't get caught up in a situation like I was before, where insecurity breeds emotional abuse. I was and have never been that way myself, even though I've been down at times because I was abused in the past. I've always been a really determined person no matter what has happened. so I guess I don't really get the "life sucks" thing, because no matter how hard life is, there's always something to be cheerful or determined about, IMO^_^
 
My friend was depressed for a while. He was never an emo but gladly he got the help he needed and he is doin great. Own place with his fiancé and everything.

Well, I once posted my views on another forum, and here's what I said:



I also feel that there's a difference between looking like an emo and being an emo. Those with hair over their eyes are often automatically thought of as emo when they may not be. I don't see anything wrong with looking like one. Some people may not care about the stereotype given. They may simply want to have hair over their eyes. It's a style, and shouldn't be constantly associated with cutting and depression.

But speaking of depression...Everyone gets depressed at some stage in their life, whether it be when they're 15, 25 or even 55. It's highly unlikely that anyone will get to the end of their life without having being depressed. But does that make them emo? I'd say no. It's human. Do you not think it would be better to help those people who are truly depressed, rather than throw "emo!" at them?

The term can be used as an insult and some will use the word "emo" as a form of bullying. It's a label and once someone is given that label, they are known for it, even if they don't cut themselves or talk about depression. However, there are those who are labelled who are more like another breed of chav. "Emo" is used so widely now that it's hard to tell from one person to the next.

Well I have not heard this as well spoken as I've heard from you. Definetly either spoken from experience or spoken from a mature nature.

Emo's mean two thing to me and that's this. Overreacting due to small differences in your life in which you try to publisize in order to gain attention. Meaning if your dad and mom fight, you cry about it to no end. OR If someone you hardly know dies, you cry about it and make it sound like you were their best friend and they meant the life to you.. I mean seriously people have small problems blown up into big life ending problems, this is such crap.

I can understand being down, depressed alright about certain situations, but the small things I see these little kids exhibit makes me frown on the generation.

Hell I can talk from experience - I have had tons of family death, a few friends and family that offed themselves, but when I get down I don't usually display it outright. People can usually just see it in my eyes, it doesn't change me to want to wear my hair long and black and wear girl jeans.. if someone asks or I must get it off my chest well I have friends for that as well as family.

Emo's make people who actually have problems not want to express themselves for fear of being judged the same way. To be honest I could care less of what the kids will do, if they want they will. If they need help then take them to the school guidance coucilor. But seriously, emo is garbage and I hate when people say "That is so Emo." /wrists - blah blah.

There are times to be sensative to people's needs and sometimes tell them to shut up and get the F--- over it.
 
I voted the third option. Emos have just gotten to the point of annoying me to death after all of this MySpace stuff. One of my best friends got so annoying that I'm not friends with her anymore... but part of that was because things she said about me and blah blah blah.

Overall, I just stay away from them. I still respect their desire to be different or whatever, but if I'm around them for too long, I get headaches. Really.

Good thing I rarely, hell, I never visit MySpace:wacky:. They act as if they were depressive and try to draw all attention to them, yet half of them doesn't even know what the hell is the true meaning of having depression. Depression is a condition that needs treatment, and it doesn't necessary means that a depressive person is crazy. They just need a good psychiatrist (did I spell it right)

lolwut? Do you mean a help hotline? :wacky:

Emos are too self-centered to help themselves. That's the annoying thing about them, they like being upset and sad and don't want to change it, because if they did that they have no way to get pity and attention.
 
There not all actually depressed and stuff. Infact i'd put money on it. It's the Attention thing and some just like the music and fashion.
 
Nowadays its mostly bout the fashoin and fashion. I dont think some emos are truly emo, they see it as a fashion trend. I nearly went emo, fashion wise, but I decided agaisnt it. I do wear some clothes and listen to some music that can be classed by others as emo, but Im not. I can say that.

Notrly. My sister is completely emo in the sense of attitude setting. Seriously, the other day this guy she's only known for two days did something retarded and got flung out of his car because he was driving drunk and he died. She baww'd about it all day. Then she always starts crying whenever she can't go hang out with her "friends" as if it was going to be the end of the world.

Not sure how far she goes with hurting herself, but she's done it quite a few times before.

Emos are all over the place. Mainly consistent in fat people who've got no life and try to put on a loner act because it looks cool in anime and video games. :wacky:

But yeah, I get where you're going with that statement. It's hard to believe people that idiotic exist and waste our precious oxygen by breathing it through their lungs and screaming at everyone. :monster:
 
I think emos should be shuttled off to an emo farm in alaska. They'll see that life there REALLY sucks, and they'll stop being douches so they can actually be productive and come back.
