False Stereotypes:

NOT ALL EMO PEOPLE ARE DEPRESSED. There are plenty who are happy with their lives.

NOT ALL EMO PEOPLE SELF-HARM. Self-harm and emo style have nothing to do with eachother. There are preppy people that self-harm, as well as emo people. Self-harm is a serious problem that should not be laughed at or looked upon as wierd or crazy.

NOT ALL EMO PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR ATTENTION. Of course some are. But not all of them. Some preppy people look for attention too.

Emo-bashing

Bullying. Plain and simple. However, people think it's acceptable for some reason.

Um, bullying emo kids. Verbal or physical. Doesn't matter. Emo-bashing is just wrong, as is any other form of bullying.
