Today in the area i live, two people who were emo were found in the bush with rope around there neck hanging from a tree. They had been missing since last sunday, but today a guy walking through the bush finally found them. After hearing this i had a think about my area and the amount of people that are emo and how many people actually kill them selfs. The number i came up with was alot. It was 10 in the last month. So i was wondering, in your area do you have alot of emo's and do you have alot people emo's or normal people kill them selfs?

We have a good number of emo's here, but not many kill themselves(many do the whole slit wrist thing though ;p), maybe you just live in a dodgy area

My area isnt really dodgy. It has low crime and heaps of familys, but people just get really depressed and kill them selfs.

Maybe they get depressed because your area is so boring

Anyways:

There are a lot of "emo" people here, but there are probably more neds in my school, at least until you reach 5th year. I'm actually surprised by this (since the neds give the emos so much abuse), but I don't think we've had anyone actually (properly) try to kill themselves here in ages.

Of course, the number of emos slitting their wrists laterally (instead of up and down) for show is quite high.

My story is better than yours.

One of my friends went on a public bus, and was listening to some music.

He was wearing black clothes and had some black+purple highlights hair (he changes it like every week ). There was some woman in the bus staring at him. A few minutes later the woman tapped his arm and gave him the note. And she got off the bus. The note said "Hey, I see you are a cutter, I was too, don't worry, you'll make it."

made me laugh .

lol Sam, theres heaps of "Emo" style ppl here, not many do the whole cutting wrists stuff they just like the "fashion" if you want to call it that :\

Yeah, I think emo has become more of a fashion style rather than a full on 'culture'. A lot of people are just dressing in a more emo style, and are still pretty much 'normal'.

where i live emos are turning into chav.. there like 'scene kids' .. but there i still a fine line between the 2 (emo and scene kid)..there are alot of emos are around..i think it's customary for everyone to go through an emo phase..(well here it is)..then they get over themselves..but some stick..

emo != suicidal.
