to be perfectly honest i don't even know why you are labelling yourself as an emo, would you like it if i called you an orange because it the same concept, if you're thinking of getting a tattoo go ahead and get one, you don't HAVE to follow a trend or ask anybody what goes with it it's just crazy I'm a teenager and people label me as an emo as i like to wear black, its a deep colour, but i hate it when they call me emo because of the things that it's been branded as so please take my advice in bits and deal with accordingly thankies x
if what you're asking is how can you tell if you're emo, well you can't really judge people on the way people look or act.
Well the first sign is
Cutting:if you have a cat the kid usually says its the cat who scratched them or they fell.
style:if they usually were bright pretty clothes they'll start wearing black more often. Also if you notice that they start wearing long sleeves more then usual or arm bands to cover up the cuts.
Hair:they'll wear it more in their face, the stereotype that all cutters have a lot of layers in their hair isn't always true.
Attitude:they'll start avoiding the family. Being confined to their room.
You will probably never get most people to understand because society at large is in a state of denial about the extent of child abuse. They don't want to understand.
You are also probably not going to get the same sort of assistance for verbal abuse that you would get for physical or sexual abuse.
The best thing you can do for yourself is find the positive people around you, peers and adults, and cultivate a relationship with them.
Spend as much time away from home and the source of abuse as you possibly can. Get a job, volunteer somewhere, get involved in extracurricular activities at school, or go to the library to do your homework.
You will find it is a very good lesson on life to concentrate on the things that you can change and avoid the things you can't.
AnswerPeople need to learn to give children the benefit of the doubt. It wasn't long ago when issues like that were swept under the rug and children suffered. Yes, there will be some who "cry wolf" but that's usually easy to spot.By the way, it's not only children who can suffer from an abusive parent. Some adults still live under such conditions and don't realize they can do anything about it.
AnswerI am afraid I will have to take most of the blame on this one. I am sorry you feel that way. I don't know who you are, how old you are when you post. I have nephews, nieces and know other younger kids, so I have to go by their reactions to some things and following rules of the house are not big on their lists. I would NEVER assume that you aren't going through real abuse issues, but I try to tell the young person what is abuse and what isn't. I also continue on with the post and say something like, "If you still feel you are in an abusive situation then you can call the police, you can stay with a grandparent or relative until things are sorted out in a court of law." I have also said that any child can go to "Child Welfare" and they will certainly get help.Try posting again and give an example of what your parent(s) say to you in a verbal abusive manner. Most people on this board are more than willing to help you and that includes me. Give it another try and give an example of the verbal abuse you are going through.
ThanksMarcy
AnswerI agree with the other poster that children should always be listened too, and that parents can certainly be abusive even as we become adults.However, many a child misunderstands (or know and just wants to get even) that accusing someone of beating them or sexually abusing them is really getting even, but what they don't realize is, they can ruin the people's lives that are involved.
Many times we see on the news or read in articles where children know exactly what they are doing and have ruined teacher's lives, doctors, parents, etc. I knew at 5 years old what was right and wrong although my brain capacity at that age wouldn't understand what problems could evolve from a lie.
In this society we must be very careful and not jump the gun simply because a child cries abuse or, "I didn't mean to pull the trigger." There is a case in England where two boys one 10 the other a bit older, kidnapped a two year old boy, beat him, abused him and threw him onto train tracks. Those boys were treated as adults in a court of law and are serving a life sentence. Just a year ago they were up for parole and the world came to a grinding halt to be sure these two kids never saw daylight. I agree! We can make excuses for kids until the cows come home, but, the fact is, we all have gone through something as kids and don't use it as an excuse to lie, or harm someone.
In the United States 3 women and a man were accused of being anything from lesbians, the man was a pervert and someone had maliciously spread the rumor that this day care center was run by these 4 monsters. The trial went on forever, one of the older women abused in prison and now she is totally ruined as far as having the throws of Agoraphobia and afraid of society and who could blame her. It was investigated and indeed all 4 of them were NOT GUILTY and it was proven! It was the psychologists that showed each child a male/female rag doll and it was the psychologist that put the words in the children's mouths. What the system did to those poor kids involved (made made them confused and it was the the children that came forward and cleared the matter up ... so, I prove my point by saying, indeed children know right from wrong. It was disgraceful to all involved. They can practice day care, but choose not too and who could blame them. So, here were 3 ladies that loved kids, were good and kind, and from a rumor their lives were destroyed. Not to mention the male in this that was a good man, the son of one of the women, and all he did was fix things around the Day Care Center and was nice to the children.
We now live in a world where we are afraid to hug someone else's child that we know or even have them sit on our laps. We are afraid of being left alone with them. How sad for the child and for the people that love kids. We are becoming a overly-mentally active lot and don't always use our best judgment and don't take our time to find out the facts. After all, what does it matter if we ruin someone else's life that didn't deserve it.
Of course we have to protect children and most of us do our very best to protect them with every fiber in our bodies (whether we have children or not.) I'm a block parent, so that means if any child is in trouble and sees the sign in my window they know there is help there and yes, I've had 3 occasions where I have had to help children.
I live in Canada and we are getting much tougher now on the "Young Offender's Act" and thank God!
Any child that would come on this board, or come to me personally and tell me they were verbally or physically abused is going to get my attention. However, I take a deep breath and question the child first and get some examples of the abuse. If it's sexual and it's tough to figure out I would report it immediately to Children's Welfare, but if it's verbal abuse I want an example. Some kids today think they have the right to free-load off their parents and if they don't get their way and don't follow the rules of the house they cry "I'm verbally abused!" That's why I am so very careful on the advice I give.

i am what u would call 'emo'. i cut and burn and bruise and stufff beaacuse i have deppression, depression is a imblance in the cemichels in my brain, its hard to be happy. and i get to much a emotion.. so i cut to maake me feel numb. but some 'emos' cut to feel something.. because they feel numb and hate it.. and that's how they feel anyuthign at all, some, like me, feel as if the blood flowing out is like theur pain flowing out as well. or watching my scars heal is like watching my pain heal to.. sadly, cutting isent the answer. everytime i look at my arms crossed with new and old scars i will have forever i feel sad, terrible, betrayed. i wish i never started cutting.. but now its hard to stop. but please, never do it. EVER. if you have a friend doing it talk to her and be her or his friend. please. its a terrible habit and i have been trying to stop for 3 years. </3
People (non-Emos) think that Emos overreact about little problems in their life. They think Emos think they have bigger problems than everyone else and are spoiled, depressed people that deserve to die. Those people just don't understand that Emos do what they do to help themselves cope.
Can you be an emo and not dress like one?
yes, you can. but most emo's keep with the black suitings like myself. most emo's don't usually like to be noticed as a preppy colorful person ,we actually like to just be left the heck alone.
as i have once said if you value your insanity, stay the way you are. i am a true emo like the rest of you out there but i know that most of us have our own styles and most of us don't really go for the bright florescent colors like the neon pinks, oranges , and yellows. YUCK!
if you are emo then you know that life truly sucks and love and hate collide into one to form nothing but a black abyss that carries your heart and soul to nothing but darkness.
i think i must have died long ago.....

If you Hate People Are you Emo?
No, just because you hate people, does not mean your emo, it just means your not really a people kind of person.
The answer to your question would be no, not all people that hate other mean they are emo and emo is not about hating people, so you can't call yourself an emo just by hating people. I would probably say you are a people-hater not an emo.
You have African mixed hair how do you get the scene emo look and keep the curls same time?
i don't think you can because my hair is African American and English and i have to straighten my hair first
Most definatly! make sure you understand what emo is though. emo isn't saying " im gonna slit my wrists allll the freaking timeeee." its living out your emotion in what ever you do, emo its EMOtional , a lot of epople don't velive it but its true , we don't all cut ourselves.
yes they so can but this person said above you must know wht it means its emotional or people call u emo cause of the style
Ok, second person, right above, is wrong. We don't ALL slit our wrists. Those r steriotypes. We can be happy. We just live it all out. ~AniOni
My mom doesnt know I'm emo and she's starting to get a clue what should i do?
if your actually emo, and cut yourself, discuss it with your mom and go see psychologist. if you're just goth than its fine
if u dont cut urself then just show her some good emo websites, tell her how its all about self expression, individuality, etc. and hope shes ok with it or if she isnt, well, then i have no clue wat 2 do.
Parents generally don't approve of anything along the lines of 'emo' even though they encourage you to be yourself, they don't want to see there son or daughter slowly, but efficiantly, turn emo. But the first answer is so wrong, in so many ways.
Not all Emo's cut themselves, most who call themselves emo, and tell people they cut themselves, are poseurs. And even if you are emo, there's nothing wrong with that.
Just tell your mom the truth, and you know that old saying, "The truth can hurt." ? Well, it's not a lie. Keep that in mind.
Roxas is not "emo." Roxas is happy until he discovers that he's a Nobody and his world is flipped upside down. At the end of Kingdom Hearts 2, he is happy again when he joins with Sora.

Emo is an 'overly emotional person,' while XD is an Asian smiley face on its side. So really 'emo XD' is an emo being said cutely.
Girls like emo boys alot because they think that dark hair and not talking alot is cool so if you are emo... you have a better chance of going out with a girl.
I think emo boys are really hot. But that might be because I was emo, so my answer might be different. But I do know alot of girls that think emo boys are hot.

ANSWER:
Here are some tips for trying to attract a girl with your emo stlye.(hope you can use it)
- Try to see it from a girls point of view or at least act like you care
- Use the eye liner. Women love looking into mens eyes and the eye liner makes them more noticable
- Women always like to look at a guys whole body, so tight clothing really makes women more interested.
As you see this all leads to one thing, women like emo boys. (i am emo but this applies to any one.)
