Has anyone noticed that there are no other stories tagged under 'emo'?
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. Score: [-] 240 [+]. Posted: 4 months ago by lunasol:

Yep. Thanks for tellng me why. :D Score: [-] 64 [+]. Posted: 4 months ago by ZebraHDH: 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.

I can't speak to what it's like to be a kid these days Score: [-] 36 [+]. Posted: 4 months ago by Moe: 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. Score: [-] 146 [+]. Posted: 4 months ago by MeMe:

Agreed! Score: [-] 0 [+]. Posted: 4 months ago by eLJay: 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. Score: [-] 86 [+].

They die because of Dungeons and Dragons. You see, when your character dies so do you. Score: [-] 180 [+]. Posted: 4 months ago by lunasol:
agreed. This article doesn't make sense to me either. I think this emo online group may have been a suicide pact or somethin'. Score: [-] 21 [+]. Posted: 4 months ago by gammerus: The black parade? Could they be refering too..

«lunasol : Why no child is safe from emo Before Christmas, Lorraine bought her daughter a wardrobe of brightly-coloured designer clothes and jeans, but they have barely been worn.
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. Score: [-] 61 [+]. Posted: 4 months ago by darlingluna: 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. Score: [-] 36 [+].
