Well, technically speaking, being suicidal is not right, neither is being emo.

But we should also understand that some people that live under certain circumstances (poberty, really bad ill conditions, no family or friends, etc.) don't really have anything worth of doing. They are just isolated individuals that literally have nothing. Thats when the suicidal mentality kicks in. Why would they want to keep suffering, working, stressing themselves for a better life style or whatever they want to achieve if they don't have the support of anyone or the love of a relative?

There are cases that are completely the opposite. People with a good life style, a caring family, maybe even a wife or kids, think about suicide. Those individuals are the ones that wrong. They have something to fight for, unlike the other individual example. What I think about this kind of people is that they are extremely selfish. They are either not thinking correctly, or they focus everything around themselves and ignore the rest of the people that care about that individual. Especially if the individual has family. Most people don't think how much they are hurting their friends and family by just thinking of ending their lives. When most of them realize that they do have something to keep living for, they ignore the suicidal thoughts and resist them... usually.

Now, on with the "emos". I have nothing against the lesser type of emos, the ones that only dress because they like the style or they are just into the music, but the real emos, the ones that cut... I really can't describe how I dislike that kind of behavior. I have nothing against the music, some of the dressing styles... but when it comes to cutting themselves just because they feel "rejected" or any other reason, thats where I stop liking them. There are many other ways to relief stress or hate than cutting. You could join a Jujitsu club and fight everyday. Believe me, that sure reliefs the hate building inside and the stress. Most emos that severely cut themselves end up thinking about suicide, or committing it.

I guess you kind of have to experience it yourself to understand.
Sometimes people feel so much pain that they can't stand living anymore. Sometimes the only escape from torture is to end their own lives. And I don't believe in hell.

A friend of mine from work killed herself a few months ago, and she was religious...She seemed like such a happy girl. She believed in god, and she didn't exactly kill herself over anything (from what I'm aware of). I didn't believe it when she died...Until I went to her funeral. It makes me wonder whether or not she was having mmoney problems that she couldn't escape.

true that man!!, ppl don't understand because they have not been there!! well i have been there and it still makes scene to me. but i lived through it. i never tryed to kill my self tho. but i do have a long scar journal.

Exactly, society is what is stripping our youngsters of souls

Let me quote a poem I read called Self-determination by Emerson.

Be not like sheeps wandering around life
Be different, a hero in the strife

I paraphrased it because I don't remember the exact words

Basically the whole point of the people is to be yourself and don't let society change you, only you should live up to the fullest that you can become!

Emerson, you brilliant man.

When people get depressed it often leads then to hurting them selfs because thats what the world has come to. Think about it, all around the world in media, t.v and the internet, you are expected to be a sertain way just to fit in. People will do things that are completly retarded and pointless just so they can be socailly accepted. Its just like young teenage girls who go on crazy diets and throw up there food so they can be skinny ( just because thats whats advertised in the media, Thin is beautiul) well thats retarded, everyone is specail in there own way and no one should ever have to feel like there not good enough. The worst part about people who hurt themselves is they dont realize that their hurting the people around them that love them. They often feel like no one cares and that they are usuless and unloved when in reality thats no true. The only thing i have to say with you on the matter is yes its wrong to cut yourself if your unhappy, but i think you should try and be more understanding, most of the time if they just had someone to talk to they wouldnt turn to hurting themselfs. So maybe instead of judging them, you should try and help someone next time.

What I don't get is why would people want to commit suicide or be emo?? Why would anyone want to take their own life away. Most people say, oh they teased me, bla, bla, bla. I say the hell with that!! Its pointless to take your life away. I believe that if you commit suicide then you go to hell anyways.

Also whats up with the emo *BLEEP*!! You got stress go excersize. I just don't see how pain (emo's cut themselves, what the hells with that) can possible relieve stress. I would think that pain only adds stress. I suggest to the emo people go outside and play to relieve stress. If you want to complain or post something offensive here, go ahead it doesn't change my opinion in the least.

Emo are cool, as long as they stay in "Haircut" style" area

emo is from emotional...but when they get a sort of fanatic sad faces they're on they way to grave...
