as a person that suffered depression and wanted to die through many of my teen years i think its terrible that people complain about emo kids. they are called whiny and people think its sad and funny that some may cut themselves. all i can think is that if someone is truly depressed (not the fakers that just want attention) people should do what they can to help the person. teen years are probably the toughest to deal with socially, so why shouldn't people make more of an attempt to help kids that are dealing with serious mental problems? depression is something that should be taken seriously. when teens kill themselves everyone wants to ask how they missed the signs, but when society sees depressed teens, we tell them to perk up or call them punks. why don't people take depression more seriously in "emo" kids?
