been on my mind

[DarkWingedAngel]

there is just something that has been on my mind
at school they judge you on your looks so if you look emo then they call you emo
but i always thought it was emotion not looks
isn't it

There is (apparently) an emo style. A quick google image search of emo will get results I'm sure.

[DarkWingedAngel]

yea but people just label you on the way you look

people label me as the preppiest person ever when im really not
just because the way I look.
I hate it.

[Aηdy]

a lot of peopl judge others on how they look. when I was at school, I once decided to grow my hair a bit longer.. then loads of people started calling me an "emo fag" theres nothing you can do about it. just ignore them.

... it's music. That's my comeback when people decide to call me emo.

People judge on looks. i get it all the time. Sometime emo... sometimes just scary dangerous.. whatever.

Honestly, I think it's best to ignore these ppl
Yeah, it's hard. and annoying. But do your best

like a few days ago
when I was changing in the changing room for gym one person saw one scar on my arm and was like ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww emo ahhhh stay away
and I was like grow up
now they all call me preppy emo kid
im about to snap I tell you

People are just idiots. I tend not to talk to people, people in high school are morons. Ocassionally my friends do joke around and call me emo but its just like whatever to me. They've seen my cuts before and make assumption on how i dress sometimes and my music. But they don't say it that much so no big deal to me

[Rutherford The Brave]

It seems to just be pop culture. I mean I have dark hair and sometimes when it's dark out it looks dark and occasonally I show my arms off and people see the scars and they just call me emo. Now don't get me wrong I am emotional, but the term emo is just a terrible thing to call some one. So what if you have some emotional issues doesn't make you any different from the people around you. Now that I'm serious about.

[electric7rocker]

if people call me emo i start to sing the emo song
(im an emo kid non comforming as can be... you know it)
and pretend like its nothing
cuz if they get a reaction from you theyll keep doing it

Two words: ignore it. People can call you whatever they want. It's what you, your family and friends think that matters.

For three/four years I was called "the suicidal maniac" at school, but I had my family and friends to support me. I rose above it and was able to work towards my qualifications to get to uni.
