To all of you who hate Emo Kids... I need to speak in their defense.



I am typically what you would call "Emo" by image. I have the dyke spike hair cut (which I am growing out), I listen to a lot of "emo" and "screamo" music... and that is pretty much were the comparisons end. I used to be a cutter, used to be. I stopped cutting before I ever became "emo" , and most cutters I know, aren't even emo anyway.



Although, let me state, this defense is not for the ones doing it for the fad && will act and dress differently in sixth months, this is about those kids who go through the shit they do.



Before you start bitching, let me address:

-There are kids who have it far worse

-Kids who do have it bad don't become "emo fags"

((those are the main phrases, if you would like me to address any others please leave a comment :D))



Yes, there are kids who have it really effin bad. Ones with their homes destroyed, ones who have their country && home being attacked. Yes, those are terrible, horrible things happening to them. But what about the kid whose parents fight everday? They fight infront of their little sister who is too young to really grasp the concept of what is going on and is left shaking uncontrollably? What about the kid who has to watch that happen? What about the kids who get beat by their parents? What about the kids who watch their parents shoot up && pass out on the couch with a cigarette still burning in their hand? Yes some kids have it bad... some have it worse. It doesn't matter because they shouldn't have to go through what they do.



No, not all kids that have it bad become "emo fags" kids deal with things differently. That is just their way, and hey maybe they even like the style.



Again let me repeat, this defense is for the kids who go through the suffering... not just the fags pretending to be cool..
