All the reasons you need to stunt your social development

Top 5 reasons to be an Emo

An Emo would never listen to Marilyn Manson... that's a goth... we hate each other... get it right!

Personally I can see both sides.

goths and emos hate everything, so that's not a good example

i really dont like the bit about cutting, i have been there befor and i am not emo (i have nothing against them) but cutting for attention is REALLY SAD!!! in the end it does become like a crug. to sure the itch of the healing, you tend to fix it with more cuts.. its an easy way to contract diseases and infections!!

PLEASE STOP PROMOTING SELF HARM ON YOUR WEB SITE!! ITS LOW AND REALLY FUCKING STUPID!

YOU OBVIOUSLY DONT UNDERSTAND THE POWER OF SUGGESTION FOR KIDS AND EVEN ADULTS!!!

When I read the article it didn't sound like a promotion. I think Alan Satian was actually taking the piss out of the slashers and saying it's not cool at all.
Sure, people who self harm need help and support, but those that do it as part of a fashion statement deserve all the abuse they get.

Yeah, thanks anonymous.
I certainly don’t want to promote self harm so I’m sorry if sounded like that. I’m attacking the idiots who think it’s cool to do it, not those with actual problems. I think telling these people they will look dumb is a lot more powerful than saying “you really shouldn’t, it’s bad for you”
Alan.

Yeah, I'm with Alan on this one. I think it's very clear from the tone of the article that he's taking the piss. There's even a disclaimer at the beginning. C'mon.

Emo's do not hate everythig we are just normal people who may or may not hav probles me personally I do. And for me and alot of other emo's cutting ourselves is a way to make sure that we can still feel. And this alan dude is really fucking stupid to be promoting self harm on his site when it is something that can kill. And none of me or my friends do cut ourselves to get attention or bcause of the fad we are trhe ones who hide out scars and out cuts.

Dear lord, another emo blog.
Everyones got problems, but they take care of them by more natural, less attention seeking means.
They got a taste of the candy when they first skinned thier knee in the playground and the teacher came running to check if they were OK... :)

How can you promote self harm by taking the piss out of self harmers?

And seriously.....if you are into cutting yourself, you should try talking to someone. Nowhere in my article did I suggest cutting is OK, but you have justified it by distancing yourself from the fad. If anything, your statement promotes self harm more than mine does.

So here it is in black and white..........if you cut yourself you either need help (if your troubles are real) or you need a kick in the arse (if you're doing it to be cool).

And it's not my site BTW. I just post the odd story and hope to spark a discussion about things that affect our little lives.

Shame on everyone who believes being Emo is a state of depression and just another excuse to commit suicide. That is NOT what Emo is. Emo is short for "emotional" or "emotive". Emo is just a chance for people to express their need to stand out amongst this chaos of society. Do you really honestly think the all Emos do is cry themselves to sleep, cut themselves to they bleed themselves dry, and write shitty poetry? You are fucking messed up if that is what you believe. I think that every single person who disses anyone who is different than they are is a whore. You can all go bury yourselves in a fucking hole.

I'm a proud Emo. I have good faith, good education, and a good life. So go think about that for a while. Ass.

 here we go again. I've had a think about it like you suggested and was wondering.....How does a sentence like "I think that every single person who disses anyone who is different than they are is a whore" work? I'm different from you in that I have a healthy sense of humour......so I'm a whore? WTF?

Climb down off your box and realise that it's a joke you hypocrite.

And here's a tip.... dressing the same as your mates doesn't make you "stand out amongst this chaos of society" as you so eloquently put it.

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH
ohmygod this i so good :)

YEAH........bring it on emos.

haha emo kids are so funny. i see one and can't help but laugh. a kid declairs himself emo thinking that it's making him cool. lol he uses more makeup than his mom, slashes his arms, all the while wearing jeans so tight that it proves he no longer has the parts every man is suppossed to have.......and all this for attention. lol

They're gonna look pretty silly when fashion changes and someone tells them they have to be chirpy from now on.

Depression? That's like, soooo last year dude.

Greyscale morons.
