You are too EMO?

Come on hunn.
Don't label yourself.
Emo is a trend.
A fashion.
Not a way you act.

How old are you?
Probably not that old.
Ok?
You ahve your WHOLE life to find yourself.
To find out who you are.

So don't throw it away.
I think that people who think about suicide,
Are just trying to quit life.
Because they say life is too hard.
Believe me, I know.
I have been there.
You will get through this big, ugly, scary thing called LIFE.

Ok. Life isn't always that way ^^

Other times it is butterflies, cotton candy, and unicorns. Oh sorry. Hahaz.

Well anyways.

What I am REALLLLLY trying to say is don't give up.

>black&&blue

Life is knowing that there is something higher, and greater than yourself.

Life is hope.

Life is faith.

Life is being the one to stand up, to have courage.

Life is the art of not giving up.

//T.L.//

Who would willingly call themselves emo?

Listen, Life has ups. Life has downs.
If you're on a down.
Look forward to the up.

But never, ever label yourself, to define the problem, if you know what I mean.

Life has different meanings for different people.
It's all in the eyes of the beholder I guess.
Just becuase you're having a rough time doesn't mean you have to just give up.
When you're down the only way is up.
Try to be more optimistic

I agree with the above people.

No one's life is Perfect,

Like they say, even those who never get down eventually will frown.

If you want a purpose in life, look outside of your own life and living area. Try to help those less-fortunate.

OR: just make goals to strive for. Take music lessons.

^^

Agreed.

Stop being so cynical, and stop ACTING depressed. That never helps make your life mean anything, does it? With your attitude you'll just go downhill from here. :] If you want to make a life that's worth living, getting solutions from people online you probably won't take isn't going to help really. So DO something about it instead of COMPLAINING. Sorry if I sounded harsh :]x

What's up with all of this "emo" stuff?

"Emo" basically means "emotional" doesn't it? Well depression is not the only emotion out there. There's happiness, anger, joy, so on and so forth. So in my opinion, everyone is 'emo' as much as I hate that word, because everyone has emotions. Yes, even the apathetic have feelings and emotions.

I wasn't trying to persecute you by saying that lol, just giving my input into the matter.

"You're not depressed - you're a teenager. Get used to it. Life only gets tougher."

^^How do you know she's not depressed? Yes, the teenage years can be harsh, but using "I'm a teenager" as an excuse isn't always right. A lot of teenagers are clinically depressed, yet are offered no help because it's not often classified as depression, but hormones or the 'teenage blues'. And life doesn't necessarily always get tougher. Sure, you have to get a few bumps and scraps along the way, but that will eventually make you a stronger person, if you are willing to let it be that way.

Before I make any assinine assumptions, I just want to know why you see yourself as being 'too emo' and why you are depressed? Do you have a, or many reasons? List specifics please.

And, no, sometimes it's a good idea, the only way to really learn the meaning of life, that it indeed has meaning, is to allow oneself to go headlong through such a negative outlook to its destructive ends. You'll appreciate the good and the meaningful more, and have a better understanding of such destruction. And that can help better prevent it in the future.

i kind of agree with shay. the title of this caught my eye because i agree with it fully. all roads end in death, but that doesnt mean that i dont plan on putting my mark on society, or leaving a legacy. one of the few things that keeps me wanting to live is my friends. i have some of the greatest friends, one especially. she gets everything that nobody else does. she's easier to talk to. it's comforting that there is someone out there who will truly understand anything that im going through. but here's the downside: she's a grade ahead of me, and because of the way our school district is divided, i wont see her much for 2 years.
ive had a lot of stuff go wrong in my life, but im working at making things better for myself. one of the things that helps me is writing. im currently writing what i hope will turn into a book. ive also been writing a lot of poetry lately, none of which i have posted cuz ive been to busy looking at the forums. writing, music, friends...all forms of therapy, for me at least.

I heard.. life is what you make it.... life is beautiful... lifes a bitch... lifes the only circle with an endpoint-whatever that means... but to me no one person can define life...you have to for yourself

Shay, you think life is hard now at the age of 14??Wait until you are a grown adult!! You'll have a reason to complain then. Meantime, enjoy life...it is too short!!

Life is a lesson so go out and learn it and be prepared to make mistakes and take chances and be prepared to have your heart broken etc But be prepared also for the beauty and love that comes everyday and is everywhere if you look for it. Cheers

life most definately feels quite pointless at times but everyone is going through this just like you. Because everyone will eventually die and no one noes wat's beyond that point, you should just be happy with what you have in your life eg. friends, family, INTERNET-technology etc.

I know that life does get harder in some aspects.. I have experienced it. But that doesn't mean that you, or anybody else, should say that she's not depressed because you don't know her. That's part of the reason why taking advice from people online is stupid, as said earlier. I didn't mean that personally by the way, just sayin' =)

I know this might sound dumb but what is emo I have an ideal but can you tell me.

im getting really tired of all these meanig of life stuff....

The meaning of life is to realise there is no need to know the meaning of life! Just enjoy it. If there is a meaning, then maybe we'll find out when we're dead. So just live for now :)

Okay, is this the same Shay that started the topic, " Suicide"?? I have noticed that she likes to start a topic and then never comes back to it. Meanwhile everyone is all caught up with the zoo around h'ere and getting all PO's at each other. Not worthed to get worked up about this topic!

clauidia,
emo is a term used to classify. its short for emotional and has been around forever.

and as for who wrote who classifies themself as emo, obviously Shay does and so do i and alot of people at my school and just people i know in general. people classify themselves by what they do like cheerleading and throgh sports and alot of different things, whats so wrong with classifying yourself as emo?

also though, emo isnt just plain people with normal emotions or normal reactions to them. emo tends to be a person who is... for lack of better expression... dramatic. we react to smaller things in larger ways and we react alot easier and have no problem showing the world how we feel. alot of the time depressed people are considered emo because they may react to situations with things such as self mutalation.

that guy the dali lama says the meaning of life is... happiness

if all you see is death maybe the point of life is just to die in the end

Well I have experienced depression MANY times and I know i'm sixteen and it's hormones but it also rums in my family my mom, brother or I get depressed, if one of us gets deppressed the rest of us gets depressed. I find sometimes you have to hit the bottom before you can start climbing out of the hole again it's hard I know. If your considering suicide you should probabally get some professional help. As some of the people of said in this forum sometimes the only way to figure out what the meaning of life is is to figure it out yourself because everyones meaning of life is different.

Candice,
My daughter is twelve and has Bipolar Disorder. It is genetic because I have it and my mom and siblings have it. So yes, some teens have depression because of an mentall illness that runs in the family!
