I have seen them, ignored them and just learned what the heck they are! My opinion; I'll keep doing the same and allow them to be just who they are. So long as they aren't hurting anyone else; But, oops, blaming their parents- thats' gotta hurt, but what's new! So, I guess, I'd feel sorry for the people they 'blame.'

Frankly, if I have had enough with someone and they use the suicide card--I offer them a gun (only did it once)! Put up or shut up. Either they need attention or they are using you! People can only use you if you let them.

Either it is an act or they are sick and really need our help and understanding! Hippies were bad and look how great we all turned out!
Ya just gotta love a lot of energy of wanting to run someone else's life for them.
As if we have all the answer. I sure don't! Good thing we all have that freedom of choice!

I think, the main thing is, someone just did not want to be called emo! As if it were a bad word! Calling people names, is not a good thing! So, if someone says, you are so emo, perhaps you could ask them if they really know what emo is? I just learned, teach them, as you did us. Then, maybe ask them to stop calling you names!:hippy:
