Emo's at your schoool

[Zelda Veteran]

If all emos cut their wrists, we would have no emos. ::)

Not all emo's cut their wrists, obviously, when people say that it annoys me as well...

wrist cutting as a stereotype is just plain annoying.

[DW]

Stereotypes period are annoying....I think we actually had a topic about this before....People don't even see me as a person anymore it seems....I'm more like a walking textbook.

[darkphantomime]

I would be the one that made that topic...

Some people are really sick up in the head, with real problems and issues in their lives, but a lot of them are simply posers. That hair over the eye thing doesn't really make any sense. Do you even have an idea of what type of image you're trying to project? What personality you want others to see of yourself?

It's because they cut their wrists with kiddy-scissors. Or just streak pinkish eyeliner on their arms and take photos to put up on Myspace, where they sort of meld into the "scene" microculture.

Guide to Fake Wrist Cutting:
Step 1: Get a mechanical pencil. Fill it with graphite.
Step 2: Place said pencil on wrist, bring pencil towards you.
Step 3: Repeat step 2 several times.
Step 4: Rub off pencil marks. If you rub too hard, go back to step 2.
Viola! Seemingly cut wrists.

I actually used that to make a Triforce on my hand once.
If you aren't going by stereo types, maybe my textbook was right... *suicide*

People say that anybody is emo if they arent obnoxious or talking all the time. If they're quiet and maybe dont talk, then they're "emo". At least, thats how it is characterized at my school. Once again, it pisses me off.

[DW]

At my school everyone TRIES to be emo because it's cool...people with awesome lives talk about how bad it sucks, they have it so good...

[alical]

Mmm there are quite a few of what me and my friendilucks call "Happy Emos" at our school.
But nearly all of them are nice. Let them wear, say and think what they want I say!
Now chavs on the other hand, they are just plain arrogant, well the majority anyway. Argh..

[Zelda Veteran]

I can't stand emo posers. They are like rich and happy, never experienced anything tragic, or anything at all. And then they talk about cutting themselves and stuff. Its retarted. You know why emos cut themselves? When there is such pain inside that it seems as if its suffocating you, you try to drown it out with real physical pain. Either way, its dumb. The girls I hang with know who they are, and the emo posers are despised amoung the real people who might have a reason to be kinda jacked up.

What annoys me most is the stereotypes that people have for an emo. Today, for example, i was bored in Russian and outlined the veins on my left and right arms with pen. I mean, sure, this is weird, but some kid saw it and said "so you're emo now?"

How does that characterize being emo? I just dont understand. It pisses me off....

[darkphantomime]

HEEHEE! I like to write and draw stuff on myself... weird designs and patterns on my hands and wrists! Though a lot of people think it's... inappropriate.

I hate it too, MasterKey! I was REALLY bored in my classes so I got to work on this big mural on my hand. It went from my fingertips to my wrists;
I think I was asked 30 times: "Are you an emo?"

[Bboy94]

I traced the Triforce on my hand once, and every time I got bored during class I traced it again. It lasted a good three days. :-* But I was asked so many times if I was emo. And one time if I was satanic.  :P

[Vaati]

Satanic? For being emo? That doesn't make much sense.
I don't worship the devil (well, kind of), but I don't really believe in god that much. I'm Agnostic. My friend is an emo, and she doesn't cut herself. As for me, I'm goth.
