Wow, reading all the stuff you guys just wrote... that really sucks. I've never even heard of people at my school treating one another that way let alone seen or experienced it.
But then I'm not emo. So can someone tell me, what is it that people seem to hate so much about emo kids? Personally I just don't find tight pasnts that offensive.

First off the pants arent that tight they just actually fit and if anybody can ever find out just why people hate emo kids please tell me too. They think were spoiled I dont know about you all but I sure as hell ain't rich, is it becasue I write poetry maybe they think Im ***, or maybe its just because I really dont care what they think about me at all but whatever I listen to better music than them so I guess thats all that matters

im like an underground emo kid...you couldnt tell by what i wear...except for my band shirts, like coheed.

lol an underground emo kid...thats like saying I'm a tall towering person I like that though an underground undergrounder

high school was rubbish for me too, im not going to lie and say everybody treated me badly because of my taste in music because quite honestly, i was scared to really express myself. but once in college 6th form, everything changes, people are a tad more mature and i just let everything go, grew my hair, ditched the preppie clothing, and just didnt care what people thought. just wait till college- its a whole lot better than high school.

dont wear girl pants. quit referring to yourself and all your friends as "emos". youre not a genre. you are a person.

Grow a thicker skin

This girl natalie who goes to my collegel, i wore nail varnish one day, just because i felt like it. and she reacted asif somehow i had offended her by being different from her. she was laffing at me calling me grunge etc. I then laughed right back in her ignorant face and explained how she was just a sheep picking on people that didnt do exactly as she did. Ive never heard such an obnoxious person shut up so quickly. stand your ground.

Alienation sucks, I think alot of us have gone through that. Most people who weren't part of the norm in highschool most likely went through that I'm sure. People grow up or at least learn to keep their mouth shut later... eventually.

Best thing is to ignore them, it sucks cuz most likely they'll keep going at it hopefully trying to get a rise out of you but most will stop. Still though, they may stop doing things up front but you'll end up with a reputation of being a cutter, emo ***, etc. But hey who really cares you know? It's highschool, most people in highschool are complete moronic dip ****s. In a couple of years that stuff won't even matter to you anymore.

It's sad, I mean highschool is hard enough for some people, hell life is hard enough for some people, yet we make it harder by alienating each other over the dumbest things. I got my friends to stop alienating others from what music they listened to back in junior high, I mean it's musical preferance, we really shouldn't be hating other people just for that.

What you should do though, is get into a debate with them. Let it lead onto some subject where you can throw things at them that show what kind of tool they are... bring up social norms, popularity, ignorance, etc. I find it funny when people get offended when you call them "f@g, a$$hole, etc." Those are so weak nowadays the only way I insult them is by bringing up things they're trying so hard to cover up. You gotta rip them to their core, show what kind of person they are to world. Like Tommyrocker said, stand your ground.
