Emo

Emos are stereotyped as people who have dark hair (usually black) that covers most of their face, they wear black eyeliner,black nail polish,converse,skinny jeans or"girl pants",&tight shirts(usually band t's).People think they listen to bands considered to be"emo"&think emos are depressed all the time&are suicidal&self-harm..Totally untrue.Not all emos are like that.Emos are people who feel emotions very strongly.Hint: emo=emotion.Whether it be happy,sad,mad, etc.They listen to whatever they want to&they don't have to dress or look a certain way!Yes, a lot of them may look like a stereotypical emo kid, but they're just wearing what they want. Sometimes they express themselves through clothing and makeup.Others do the same thing.Also,not all emos cut.Some do,some don't.Cutting(one of the many forms of Self-Harm),beingsuicidal,writing,going off alone,anything else you all would label as"emo"behaviors,they do it as a way to express their emotion or release what they feel&just because someone cuts it doesn't mean they're emo(people do it to cope with depression, just like people use alcohol to cope with it,and they need help.So next time you hear of someone harming themselves,think twice before you call them"a whiny emo fag"or something because that's what bullies do and we all need to stop bullying).Not all emos listen to"emo"bands and singers and wear dark clothing all the time and darkmakeup and shitand are depressed all the time. Stop stereotyping people.

Me: "If you all can't see what emo is by reading my definition, then I don't know what to do.
Two things I'd like to say though:
1.) Stop stereotyping people.
2.) Stop bullying emos...And don't just stop bullying emos. Stop bullying gays, people with disabilities, people you all label as 'nerds', people who self harm...Stop bullying EVERYONE. You don't know what people are going through. Their lives are hard enough and they don't need you to make it worse because you could drive them to suicide (which isn't funny AT ALL)."
