Well I turned emo when one day I went to a fair and I happened to be wearing black, and I had cuts on me from my cat. a little unicorn came up to me and said"Have no fear little emo girl I will save you from Satan!!!" then he kicked me in the balls (though I'm a girl) then I went and cried in a little coner and a guy was like "come join the dark side, we have cookies!!!" then I was like "okay"
and that is how I became emo... Now everyday I have to wear a uniform that consists of skinny jeans, a studded belt, vans or converse, a band tee, and I have to kill the ozone using my never ending supply of hairspray. And we have our oath to perform everyday. You may know it....
E- is for emotion ruins everybodys day
m is for miserable people
o is for one the darkside because we have some fresh cookies! Cookies!

Wells. the emo transformation isn't complete.
Since i was 12, ive been friends with the worst preppy girls you could think of.
Trust me.
I was hurt. Betrayed. Several timesss.
Earlier this year i just couldn't take it anymore. I just said "THATS IT!! Enough Bullshit."
I ditched that life. Ditched the preps. Everything.
I'm pretty alone now. But its effing worth it [=
During that transformation i got very very depressed. I ran to God (Imma total Jesus Freak and proud). And started listening to music those "preps" would have died if they listened to.
MCR, FOB, Paramore, Flyleaf, etc. Idk what you'd classify that as. lol.
I hate being alone. Though I'd rather be alone than with those witches I hate it.
When I'm out (at like...idk church for instance) i just like, doodle lol.
on myself or paper ^.^
im hooked on the computer. my only outlet to other loners like myselff lol [x
so yeahhhh......

aww you people all need a cookie ^^
ugh and I'm not actually emo...I experiment with different styles (i.e. emo, rock and punk) and I also like trying various bands-Ive always loved rock 'cause me parents have some cds, but I can't really explain it. I TRY to be different bec right now it's cool to be emo (or scene wtv) round here...and I don't cut really because I try to get it all out in other ways- though punching the wall was still painful XD- but scribbling or biting a pillow helps (I tore the pillow actually XD...oh god now I've reminded myself 'bout Breaking Dawn (sry major randomness :S))
It's sad though. I mean, being sad and depressed is all part of being a teenager; it's just how you deal with it which makes or breaks you.

RE: HOW DID YOU TURN INTO AN EMO?"(pls post ur story 2&
it really all started as a depression for me i guess. when my dad got remarried and we moved into a new house he and my stepmom were at work a lot, my brother and stepbrother were always at a friends house, and i found myself home alone a lot. i tried calling my friends, but they never were really around and i didn't have a bf (and still dont, but im ok by that). i was really really lonely and even with people around i still felt alone inside. i was a wreck. i was always tired and felt sad, then i started listening to any kind of music i felt i could relate to. i never slit my wrist, but the depression led to a bulimic antic. i could never sleep and i would spend a lot of the time writing sad poetry. when my dad finally noticed, he took me to see a therapist. i've been seeing my therapist for nearly a year now and i've actually never felt better about myself, even if i dont fit in at school! xD
but the scene/emo/whatever you wanna call it style just stuck with me, and i still listen to the same music and stuff.

Can we just kill this thread? Please?
I think Nexus made a "How did you become scene?" one. I think we should keep that one and get rid of this one, cuz it's annoying telling people that emo is a music genre.

RE: HOW DID YOU TURN INTO AN EMO?"(pls post ur story 2&
Well... basically in 2nd grade, there was this girl who had a friend. Gradually, over 3 years, this girl lost her friend and became an outcast amongst other 5th grader. She lost most of her friends and went into child counseling.
When middle school came around... she met up with some old friends from some old schools. She got a new slate and was happy once again and was happy.
Then when seventh grade came around, she met her new friend Ashley (who has nothing to do with the rest of this). The girl and Ashley started to hang out with the wrong crowd. They would talk about drugs and alcohol at lunch. She went out with this guy and he cheated on her. Then a new boy came around that she was already friends with. He broke up with her for another girl. She skipped the class she shared with him. She got a Saturday detention for it. She got home that day and cut the word FUCK into her arm. Later that week, the teacher saw it and turned her down to the principal. The couselor and took her instead. The counselor contacted her parents. Throughout her next years of middle school, she cut at least 2-3 times a month.
She got to high school... and met more friends, and old friends. She is still friends with Ashley who she shares everything with and who has similar experiences but they get through it together.
She starts to cut more often and more often. She does something she never thought she'd do (cyber sex). Her dad yells and yells at her. In october or september is when she becomes more obsessed with black and punky clothes. She discovers the amazing sub-culture of the world of "emo". Not knowing about scene. She starts to get more black clothes, but very few.
Her teacher notices she acts different, and they talk it out. She and him are friends (nothing more; for those who have dirty minds... silly people
)
She up to this point has about 20 scares on her left arm.
By her sophomore year, she is cutting at least once a week. She attempts suicide on October 30th, 2007 (yes I remember the date, exactly)... because of many things. She goes to a psychiatric hospital for a week. Comes back better. Second semester on the new year, she meets someone new. Her health teacher who assigns a goal paper. To choose a goal to work on a goal for the entire semester. She chose to work on cutting. He was open to hear her stories. And she always told the truth if she did or not. A lot came out of that assignment. She has not cut since the first week of June, which is about 4 months.
She hasn't had sex since April...
and she hasn't drank since May-ish... (she's never done any drugs).
In like March, she buys her first pair of skinny jeans. And tries with what she has to create a punk look. Shorter hair, spikey now.
That is my story. Tried to be descriptive and short... If I gave EVERY detail... I'd fill a book, literally.
