I understand the fascination with death, especially at an age where you typically start to think you're invincible, but I don't understand the glorification of death.

That'd be because Plime's search feature doesn't recognise search terms that are less that 4 letters...


Good old Daily Hate though. Ill informed panic mongering designed to isolate and alienate.

Yep. Thanks for tellng me why. :D

This is fear mongering.... They said the same thing about goths and devil worshipping...


I used to be goth.. never devil worshipped... Read lots of books about the devil... listened to music about the devil... but never sacrificed cats.

Styles and fads dont kill children. Ignorance does.

A CULT?! This article is completely misconstrued.

f**k you media with your conformist promoting dribble!

The only dangerous thing about being truly "emo" is a complete and utter lack of fascination with the world. That, to me, is a far worse fate than a thousand deaths.

Blaming music is a cop out.

Um...

mmm...n/m

*erase erase*

I can't speak to what it's like to be a kid these days

Kids don't kill themselves because of emo "cult(?!)" or Judas Priest (damn, I am old) or cartoons with sex organs hidden in them.

The sooner people recognize that and look at the KID beforehand the better off we will all be.

I am so sick of yet another scapegoat.

yeah, I've had lots of friends in this crowd and I have never heard of this

Agreed!

I don't think it was "Emo" either. Look at the article again. Look at her picture before she was EMO, she looks so sad. She was in trouble long before I think. But then, maybe she was having a bad day that day. She just looks too sad in both pictures. Too much sadness for a little girl.

Kids don't kill themselves because of emo "cult(?!)" or Judas Priest (damn, Moe's old) or cartoons with sex organs hidden in them.

They die because of Dungeons and Dragons. You see, when your character dies so do you.

agreed.
This article doesn't make sense to me either. I think this emo online group may have been a suicide pact or somethin'.

The black parade? Could they be refering too..

Wow...that's basically like saying "Merry Christmas. stop wearing those clothes, you must wear happy clothing."

I have a feeling this girls problems didn't stem from her musical interests or trying to fit in to the emo crowd.

Honestly, all the teenagers I know that are truly depressed and suicidal seem to be those you wouldn't expect. I know this from experience, so it strikes me horrible that people would assume that depression and suicide follows a fad. You know what it follows? An overstressed society that just doesn't give a f**k about anyone that's in a recession because of an unfounded war because of a stupid president. Hah, I can link ANYTHING to that man.

Those who are "emo" or whatever you want to box them into usually tend to be quite cheerful. Why do parents always assume that the problem is outside of their house? Have they taken her to a therapist yet??? Seriously, don't fool around with that. Suck up your f**king pride and get her some help if she really acts that way. That's something you can actually do.

Yeah I've known some really happy goth and they were the old stereotypical suicide commiters. I would figure its similar with Emo kids.....although I know a former one who committed suicide a few times, but that was due to his personal problems.

the only danger that directly stems from being emo is danger of severely pissing off everyone around you with your stupid emo-ness
