Can someone tell me something good to stop me from becoming Emo?
People turn ’emo’ because they are sad or feel out of control or ‘stuck’. It would not hurt to talk to someone about how you’re feeling – it could be any one thing or maybe a constellation of things that are making you depressed. I find that when I am not happy, every song I hear has lyrics that strike me as relating to my situation, and eventually I find myself seeking out this music. I realize after I get over whatever it is that by seeking out other sad things and people, I am prolonging my own misery. If you dont want to turn emo….don’t. When you just WANT to be sad or angry or ‘down’, you should just try to force yourself to do something fun, happy, or uplifting. For example, wear a clown nose all day and refuse to explain it to anyone with anything more than a wink and a smile. A personal favorite of mine is to go to a toy store and act like a little kid for a little while. Ever see ‘Dont Tell Mom The Babysitters Dead’? No one cant have fun on a huge bouncy ball…
