emo

They hate life and they cut themselves. Most if not all of them are clinically depressed. They are ill and they need help. It's hard enough when everyone's making fun of their condition. The term just trivializes their real medical problem. Sure there are posers out there, but that doesn't make it alright to make fun of them. It's not that easy picking out the posers from the ill. You don't know everything that's going on in a person's life, therefore you have no right to make that kind of judgement on them. Show some compassion, you could be saving a life.

Person A: Look at those emo kids over there cutting themselves and bitching about life, so pathetic.
Person B: Yeah they need some help.
Person A: Tell me about it.
Person B: I mean they need professional help, it sounds like they have depression.
Person A: I'm only talking about the posers, relax will you?
Person B: Can you pick out the posers from the afflicted?
Person A: ...
Person B: Then you have no authority to say anything.
