Even though changing someone isn't recommended, if you are sure you want to here is how. I used to be emo in Middle School and High School, and I know that it is really hard to change one. So here is how:
1. Show the emo that life is better than it seems. Show him/her how much you care about them. This reduces the chance of suicide for them.
2. Emo's love their music. Now that does have a MAJOR contribution to how they act, dress, etc. I don't recommend changing their music styles, because it usually won't work and it could anger some emo's (Especially since emo's are very sensitive). But if you want to then the best way is to show them other genres of music. They might get addicted to one, you never know.
3. This is one of the worst ideas, but you can tell them how scary they are being to other people. This probably won't work at all, because most emo's don't care what other people think of them.
Hope this helps! Again I don't recommend changing an emo, mostly because they might be offended (and it might not even work).

the answer i got is that your friend has big issues and... HHE NEEDS HELP!!!
I wish ican become emo ;sicily
what the hell is wrong with being emo? unless your a stereotype and think eo means you cut yourself then if your friend is self harming then you need to get help for him/her talk to her first and ask her its ok if she can do a little less then slowly progress into stopping. but she might not care what you think, say, or feel since you think that she's emo since she self harms. emo is a style I've seen girlygirls cut to doesn't mean they are emo.
Not exactly. Emo is a label. There are people in this world that do not even look "emo" but they cut themselves. Popular kids can do it.. anyone can do it. Emo is more of an expression- almost like a look you can just wear on your face all the time. Emo is more of an expression of yourself rather than just a short term for people who self injure. Emo can mean lots of things- but not necessarily that one would self injure. Your friend needs help.
Emo is a genre of music.
---------ask them why they are being so depressed/"emo". it could be for different reasons. once you've figured that out, try to help that problem. if they don't relize theyre emo then try to help them see that they are. You could show them photos of themselves before they became emo and show them how they've changed. the music isn't what influenced them probabley, though so you shouldn't have to take it away just for them to stop being emo. most likely there's a bigger poblem [ex: parents, school, life, etc]. i hope that you can help them out!!
No, if your friend's sister claims she's emo, she's most likely to be an emo wannabe/try-hard.
Where I live emo's are popular I have a emo friend I think there more fun and hiper but that doesn't mean they live a better life
Tbh. Be honest
yes u can be fat and still be emo ,I'm a little overweight and I'm emo so yes u can still be fat and be emo :}but most emo girls cant get a boy friend because emo boys like to make out with other emo boys.
Yyes there is. I have a friend lyyk that. LOL .
Tell them. If they hate you, find a new friend. If they can't except you for who you are, then they arn't realy your friend. And remember, you don't have to cut yourself to be emo or dress in drag, you just have to hate your life.
