Save a tree. Don't be emo.
Emos are the people who gratuitously waste paper like crazy. And then they don't bother to recycle it, they just trash it and it ends up in a landfill when it could have been recycled and used to make new paper that they will write their (mostly poorly thought-out and poorly executed) poetry on.
It's estimated that nearly 75% of emos write poorly executed poetry, then throw it out and cut themselves when it gets critiqued by people who actually have even some minor talent in the area... They take it like a bitchslap, when you do in the fucking poem is talk about the "painful silence" and other such emotional topics.
You emos can claim to have all the fucking emotional disorders you want, but the fact of the matter is, I know what they look like, and how to GET OVER IT AND MOVE THE F*** ON.

And before we go into how I know what they look like, I have BPD and Manic Depression. So don't feed me that horseshit about "you're clinically depressed" and "are taking medication". Prove it. Show me the pill bottle, then I'll believe you. But it better have your name on it, or I will call the police. You know, because that can be theft of a controlled substance... Which is a Class B felony, might I add.

There's a reason almost nobody likes you. It's really, really simple, too. You push people away because you weird them out with your cutting, the way you act, and the way you dress. Maybe if you didn't wear pants that actually should be worn by a freaking 12 year old girl, and short sleeved shirts so the scars on your arms are plainly visible; then people might be more interested in talking to you and very possibly being your friend.

Sure, I have an emo friend, and she is cool. I lost touch with her about 3 months ago, but I'm sure she's all right. She's not the suicidal type, and she wouldn't end up in a hospital or anything like that. She's smart enough to know that cutting herself is utterly pointless, because it lessens your ability to get a job if the employer sees the scars. So she's basically moved on from the emo-phase.

That's another thing. Why is it that you almost never see an emo that's older than 25? I was always told that being emo is a choice of lifestyle. If it's your lifestyle, and you like it, why would you change it? Here's the point I'm trying to make here, with this paragraph specifically: "Emo" is not forever. You'll (hopefully) come to your senses and realize that it's not cool, it's not attractive, and eventually, the "emo" fad will pass. Then, no one will want to dress emo because its out of style! Of course, then the people who are currently emo will find some other fad to join and swear up and down that they're unique and they don't conform to anyone else's standards. There's a name for these people: Attention whores.
