being called emo

[Destructive Impulse]

people have always called me emo but its gotten bad. Recently random people groups of younger kids have been yelling stuff like look at the fucking emo and then they laugh. These two kids yelled at me while I was working "so when you gonna kill yourself?" fucking assholes. Does this shit happen to anyone else.

I think you're in wrong part of forum.Just cause someone cut themselves, doesn't mean they are emo :/ And otherwise.

And in response to your question, id ignore them.Cause if you tell them to fk off or something like that, they will just continue to do it more...

Act like they don't exist :)

Edit:Thanks, corrected, didn't notice.

Im not sure what you mean in the first paragraph

[BrassMonkey]

I dont get called emo, I get called gay when Im not. So, I know what you are going through. I just ignore them, and think about it this way... What Goes around, will come back around. One day, some how, some way, they will pay for it all.

[Destructive Impulse]

Well I do ignore them it's just fucked up I guess

I have never been called Emo, solely because I look and act like a fucking prep. It annoys the hell out of me but it keeps me off the radar. I get teased alot because of the people I choose to hang out with, but otherwise, nope. If I were myself, I'd get called all kinds of shit. Anyone who knows me knows I'm boyish in alot of ways, but I am 100% straight. Coat yourself with glitter, paint your room pink, and raise your voice an octive, it keeps people off your ass. I learned that in sixth grade after being called fatass, bluber butt, dyke, you name it. So I changed myself. However, if I had the chance to live through sixth grade again, I wouldn't have changed a thing about myself. Their teasing caused severe self image issues, eating disorders and depression and I just wish the assholes knew it. Sorry for taking over your thread to rant. I'll back off now. And Btw hun, people can't classify victims of bullying. We're our own breed of human ;) :hug: Stay Yourself ~Holli

Just pretend they aren't there, they will eventually understand it doesn't bother you, just act.

I get called emo. It sucks, but just ignore it. It's really all you can do. Try to think of good comebacks that you can keep up your sleeve, those always help.

[Desuetude]

Yup, for the past 4 years doesn't it just make your day when you're 11 and some kid comes up to you and makes cutting actions on their wrist.

I don't think comebacks help, if anything they make things worse because they know it gets to you. If they ask me if i'm emo I just say no, if they go straight into telling me I am then I just ignore them. Usually people that get called it aren't and it's for something stupid like the clothes you wear or music you listen to. It is fucked up that they jugde because they don't have any right and they don't know what's going on in your life. Just ignore them, hopefully as you get older people will start to mature and grow out of this childish bullshit.

Well OP, I'll make it simple.
This happened to me for years, up until a point I told the group calling me "emo" I would punch each and every one of them until they no longer could speak.

Word got around; no one ever bugged me again. This probably wouldn't work if you aren't a strong guy.

I get called emo at school and by my family... I know how hard it is to just "shrug it off" Just try to think think that these people don't know what they are talking about and they aren't worth getting upset at because in the end they are the ones that are pre-judging you... PM me if you ever want to talk :)

I hate the word "Emo." I don't get called it much now, but when I was 12 and 13 in Junior High, I was very depressed and used to cut more often. Once only one person saw by accident, then the whole school knew about my cutting. I used to dress in black a lot, just trying to find my place. I've always liked dark colors anyway and still wear dark colors, so I'm not a "poser" or whatever people wanna say. But dressing in black added to the bullying because no one dresses in all black at my school and people in my school are very narrow-minded. When I would try to defend myself against the people who made fun of me, I would then be taunted with people telling me that I was "psycho" and to "go take your medicine." I've been told by multiple kids at school to just go kill myself and that no one would miss me, that I don't deserve to live...My own mother told me at the age of 13 to go slice my wrists because she hated me. So yeah, I have been bullied about cutting, which only made me want to cut more. I started cutting where people couldn't see, so there would be no chance of someone accidentally discovering it. I wore a lot of bracelets and arm bands and never took them off at first.

'They know your name not your story' ignore them in 5 years time you won't remember or you won't care about some stupid kids. Act like their not there.

[StoppingTime]

Personally, no. But, there are plenty of people in my school, who, whenever they get pissed at me (or anyone really), will say "Go cut yourself, go kill yourself." I just don't get it. They make it into such a joke, and I can't fucking stand it.
It's probably best to ignore it than to fight back, because then they'll know that it bothers you, and they'll just continue. You know what's right, they're just being idiots.

[Rage of the Menace]

I like being called emo, makes me feel different, instead of those glam girls and fake guys. I be who I want, and if I'm satisfied, I don't need anyone telling me it's bad.

[Jupiter]

No, I do not get called emo. You never told us, are you emo?

I mean, honestly, there are going to be either one of two answers, so I'll put two answers.

IF YOU ARE EMO!!!! Then who the fuck cares. I mean, if they are gonna say things like this, then they deserve to be the one's that are being picked on. I don't know who you are, but you seem nice enough. I hope things get better. PM if you want.

IF YOU ARE NOT EMO!!!! Then they are just haters and nothing matters. They shouldn't judge you by JUST how you wear clothes, or whatever they make their decision on. Those little kids don't have anything on you. Realize that you are stronger than them. you have your friends right?

If they are calling you something that you are not, it doesn't change you. You are what you are. Stay beautiful.

I dont consider myself emo. I cut but only a few know about it. I do wear black shirts but Only because bright colors make you stand out. Also I have naturally straight black hair that I choose to keep long. I really don't think I'm emo

[XxAssasiNxX]

Its one of those fucked up sterotypes i hate so much. i grt called it sometimes but my freind gets called it more. Some girl said he was emo...because he has long hair. most of them dont know what the mraning for emo is. i just hate this j feel like smashing their face in when this happens

:hug: :hug: :hug: Hun, you're going to run into haters the rest of your life. They can't tell you who you are. Just because a bunch of slutty glitter addicts and a couple of meat headed jocks call you somthing it doesn't make you who you are. I can tell you right now, alot of people who SH or people who are depressed, our maturity is much higher than that of someone else, because chances are we've been dragged to hell and back a few times. We've lived more, and we act differently. One day they'll hit a hard spot, and they'll grow out of picking on other people. Until then, well, you can't fix stupid. Not even with duck tape. :hug:
