Emo isn't something you can just become quickly; it's more about a particular style and attitude. If you're interested in the emo scene, consider exploring emo music, fashion, and culture to understand it better. Remember, being emo is about expressing emotions and individuality, so focus on finding what resonates with you personally.

First, hold your hand out spread open, as if you're about to go for a hi-5. Now, take your ring finger and your middle finger and bend them forward, touching your palm. Next, bend your thumb and lay it over your ring and middle fingers. Now, take your pinkie and index finger and spread them outwards a little bit, away from each other. Voila! You have the rock symbol :)

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.

There are many reasons for "cutting". Many people do not know how to deal with mental pain, so they might reason that physical pain will take their mind off of mental anguish. Often times, the person doesn't know how to cope with the problems they face, and if they just talk to someone and vent they wouldn't feel the need to cut. If you can't talk to someone, try some exercise. It's a good way to release frustrations and clear your head.

The phobia you may be talking about is known as social phobia or social anxiety. More information on this phobia that is often left misunderstood can be found here:

Mentally healthy people tend to have a positive outlook on life, cope effectively with stress, maintain balance in various aspects of their lives, have healthy relationships, and seek help when needed. They also have good self-esteem, resilience, and the ability to adapt to changes and challenges.

Your subconscious is the part of your mind which is going about its business without your knowledge. Conscious thoughts are the ones you're aware of, like you reading this paragraph, thinking you're a bit hungry, and wondering if you let the cat out. Subconscious thoughts are ones you're not aware of, but which are always rumbling around under the surface. You might make a decision without really being aware why you picked one choice, but underneath your conscious thoughts, your brain had made a subconscious decision.

Polydactyly is a condition where a person or animal has extra fingers or toes. It can be present at birth and may run in families. In most cases, polydactyly does not cause any major health issues and can be easily treated if necessary.

Endorphins, dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin are the primary chemicals that the brain produces to make people happy. Endorphins act as natural painkillers and help reduce stress, while dopamine is associated with reward and pleasure. Serotonin plays a role in regulating mood, and oxytocin is linked to social bonding and feelings of trust and intimacy.

In earlier times, mental illness was often explained as the result of supernatural causes, such as possession by evil spirits or punishment from the gods. It was also sometimes attributed to moral failings or weaknesses in character. Treatment often involved rituals, herbs, or interventions aimed at driving out the perceived evil forces.

Etiology is difficult to determine in many cases; however, some are genetic, chemical imbalances or a combination of what was referred to in the past as Nature vs Nurture, but most likely now a combination of both (genetics and social-emotional experiences). Further research is highly recommended.

Suicide is a complex issue and can have multiple factors contributing to it, including bullying. In the United States, suicide is the second leading cause of death for individuals aged 10-24. It's important to address bullying as a serious issue that can have harmful effects on mental health and well-being.

Approximately 20% of adult females have suffered from depression at least once in their lives (meaning that they met criteria for major depressive disorder, either single episode or recurrent).

Government statistics for 'suicide and death by undetermined cause' are not kept on a uniform basis other than by the World Health Organisation (WHO). Yet WHO relies upon over 200 states communicating statistical information to WHO from their own individual statistical systems. So approximations only are available. See chart below on black/non-black stats extracted from data prepared by Prof McIntosh (Indiana Univ) :
