Emo=Emotional

Really, every day I hear people mocking us emotional, or "emo" people, and it's getting really annoying. What if you were just born like that? There are diseases people get that make them easily depressed. And making fun of them doesn't help. Some people on one part of Scratch are actually talking about suicide......it's sad.  hmm  I mean, I'm not saying,"Oh yeah feel like a bad person," but try to help, not hurt us even more. I'm not really emo, but I do cry really easily and hurt people for no reason.(Slapping and stuff) Some stereotypes:

All emos have bangs. (Not true, it really varies)
Emos always cut themselves. (Nope, it's mostly emotional, although physical self punishment is not rare)
Emos wear black- a lot. (....Really? That's just stupid.)


If you can help us feel better, do. It's usually those that people backtalk to and stuff like that. Just don't go up to them and say,"HEY WHY YOU DEPRESSED EH, EH?" Annoying -_-

Re: Emo=Emotional

Well, you are smacking yourself in your signature.  lol

But seriously, why couldn't you just call them emotional and leave "emo" to mean what people think it does. My computer doesn't even recognize the word.


I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

Because emo and emotional are the same.

But I'm saying:

Say emotional to someone. They think they cry or something else.

Say emo. They think they cut themselves. Society has developed to different meanings for them, and you can't change it.

Re: Emo=Emotional

Dude. Don't feel so emotional, or you'll have to go to anger management. And that place sucks xD
I never went, but I've heard xD
You should just relax... chill. Maybe even chillax xD

Society sucks.

Re: Emo=Emotional

My friends are optimistic. I've never experienced being, seeing or acting like said "emo"s.

Also, this is flamebait for more arguing.

Re: Emo=Emotional

I agree - it's just a mean thing to say, and the person who calls another person emo probably wouldn't want to be called emo, so they shouldn't call anybody else emo.

That's my opinion.

Yup, I mean, if you're emotional, you don't want people calling you that.

Re: Emo=Emotional

I'm anger control emo. Really. When I get angry even a little, I walk off calmly, but then rant and rage to my friend, and they back away and run. Then I feel sad. I cry(easily) and stomp and skulk.

Re: Emo=Emotional

Many people find themselves becoming emo because of teasing and lowering of their self-esteem. Making fun of someone who is emo for the way they act is making fun of them for the way you made them act. People who find that they are more emotional than others is not something strange.

Re: Emo=Emotional

Uh.... actually Emo doesn't mean emotional
Whoever told you that is wrong.
Emo means emotive, an old saying for people who liked that genre of music.
Emotive people were called emos by people who hated the music style
Yes there once was a time when people did not refer to themselves as emos

And yet you just called your self that in the first post. lol.  roll
......
Emos tend to think that they are different from everyone else just because they are depressed, and they do everything in their power to point it out to people.

Advice:
Get over it, dye your hair blue and enjoy your life while you still can. Forget your past and move on. If you keep getting all emotional about what has gone wrong in your life, you'll never have a chance to move on. Must of you guys are probably like 9 years old. Like seriously, weak dude.

+1.

Emo(tional)s are more sensitive so will break down easily, but it doesn't mean people can tease them.
