Feeling Emo?
Accuse me of being emo if you must, I do not care, but if you knew what im going through you'd understand.

Still I cant blame you, how can you form an opinion on that which you dont know, or at least not a fair one.

For an answer as to why I said those last two paragraphs look out for my latest submission within the next two days when it should have got through theotaku's screening process.

Still to the subject of todays rant, I feel the tag of "Emo" is one I feel is thrown around far to much these days, almose as a means of rapidly explaining and hence resolving people from any form of responsibility or duty to others when they are feeling depressed.

For those who didnt understand that last paragraph, and I dont blame you, I have a poor writing style, let me see if I can make it clearer with an example, hypothetical of course.

One person is feeling depressed for whatever reason that may be, they talk with another person about it, talking about how down they feel, what happened, maybe even bringing up past depresing events on top of all that.

This goes on for quite some time and this is when the other person accused the depressed of being emo. In that singular statment they have said a multitude of things.

"Things arent that bad" "move on" "get over it" "attention seeker" and so on, in addition by saying this they have essentialy stated that they are not going to listen to or help anymore.

Now I know thats not a fool proof example but for all intents and purposes it will do. Also I know that this is not true to all situations, in some cases the party is just being "emo", seeking attention and drawing on the bad for the sake of it. However my point is that there is a difference between acting "emo" and somone in real depression and in need of a friend.

So before you next cast somone who is depressed off as being an emo attention seeker take the time to think and be there for them. The emo tag is not an all encompassing solution in dealing with a depressed person.

Ok you can relax now, breathe a sigh of relief as the rant closes for today.

Peace.
