"Hannah was a happy 13-year-old until she became an 'emo' - part of a sinister teenage craze that romanticises death. Three months later she hanged herself."

Love this quote: "Emos like guitar-based rock with emotional lyrics."

jesus I love this article. Also wonderful: "My Chemical Romance made it to No.1 in the UK chart with Welcome To The Black Parade in October 2006 - the 'black parade' is a place where all emos believe they will go when they die"

That's enough bullshit, I guess.

When did everyone get so stupid??

Guess what, rocket scientists of the world? Happy people don't kill themselves.

Suicide isn't the thing people do because they are overwhelmed by how fucking wonderful life is. It is NOT the starshines and rainbows way to express joy and contentment.

If you are truly baffled by someone's behavior, it probably means you don't know them half as well as you think you do. This is the classic incompetence problem--people who are incompetent *always* give themselves high marks for whatever it is they suck at. Parenting, despite what most parents seem to think, is something LOTS of people suck at, and the ones who suck the worst probably give themselves highest marks.

I'm not saying that girl killed herself because her parents suck, but I *also* would not say she killed herself because of emo. That's crap. She killed herself because she was unhappy, and was unable to see any path out of it. Emo didn't MAKE her unhappy, nor---obviously---did it make her happy. (I'm not gonna say it helped anything, but that's a different conversation. Also, there's the conversation about whether people can be MADE happy--or unhappy--by ANY outside influence, or if it's all internal mechanisms at work.)

Sorry for the tirade. I just get so tired of hearing about how someone's happy child died by suicide, and now we have to blame ____________________ because it warped their fragile little minds. It is so much bullshit. Some people just don't know how to cope with distress, just like some parents can't accept that their precious little DNA propagator wasn't as happy as they wanted to believe.

The only difference between theory and practice is that in theory, there is none.

Agreed

You said this better than I could.

Emos didn't invent cutting.

Bebo is huge in the UK,

Bebo is huge in the UK, there's a whole group of kids in some town over there that killed themselves through it.

You can kill through

You can kill through Bebo??!? That's AWESOME!

Seriously though, I guess this means we can expect more "Think of the children!" shit on our social apps then.

whoa

A check of Hannah's home page on social networking site Bebo revealed her pseudonym, Living Disaster, and that she'd decorated it with a picture of an emo girl with bloody wrists.

Hey! People really do use Bebo!
