What can you do to stop an emo, from being so emoish?

That's more Eeyore-ish than Emo-ish. :)\n\nThe answer depends on the person.  With some, the "I hate.. [everything]" is a normal teen complaint.  If that's the case, s/he will eventually grow out of it.\n\nOn the other hand, don't ignore a true cry for help.  We're not all psychologists, and we aren't able to diagnose clinical depression, so it's best to err on the side of caution.

Yes, talk about intolerance indeed. If you want to stop intolerance, talk first to the person in the mirror.

Hang out with different people, ones who you want to be with. If they still bug you, just ignore them. They just want to push your buttons and get you to jump on them, getting you in trouble. I know it's hard ignoring people who constantly get in your face, but the alternative is to get in trouble by physically getting their face gone. If they won't leave you alone, after asking them nicely, maybe ask them why they're bugging you. Most times, you'll get some lame excuse, like because they like it, or because I want to. Those kinds of excuses tell you they're just trying to make you mad and get a reaction. After that, don't react to them, no matter how bad it gets. Try to always surround yourself with positive people, keeping your goals in focus. Don't lose your stride to a bunch of posers. Their own lives are miserable, so they want to bring you down past their level of mediocrity. Rise above it. Don't give in to their taunts. I had years of this kind of experience in grade school, the worst being in middle school. Something happens to some kids when they get in middle school. It's like they left their brains somewhere else and living the life of a moron. It will get better, in time. Though it seems hard right now, just keep your focus. <*)))><

When will you stupid emo kids stop posting on this site? I can't take it anymore. You all think you're so cool with your self-inflicted wrist cuts, dyed black hair (engineered every morning to look perfectly messy) and girls jeans. Grow the hell up. Stop whining about your meaningless relationships ending with your equally emo girl/boy friends. You have no idea what real problems are. I will stop here, but refer you to one of my past posts on emo:\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=1006051417253

preoccupy your mind a little will make you not become so edgy and nervous around others. place two marbles in your pants pocket and roll them around. sound stupid doesn't it but you may be surprised at how they will help.

Just be yourself and don't worry about ignorant people who think they are better than you. These people have to degrade you to make themselves feel better. Let them call you names, joke about how you function in the world, and laugh at your personality,etc., it's just their way of turning the spotlight away from themselves because they are afraid if you look too closely at "them", you may find a few flaws. If they would turn on their brights, they would realize everyone is different; has bad points and good points; and acceptance brings people closer. Maybe they are just sooooo unhappy, they want to drag you down to their dungeon to suffer with them. Try extending an olive branch or making a peace offering, and if that does not work, forget about them, do your own thing, and sooo politely tell them to kiss your arse.   \nP.S.  I am a Redneck, shhhhhh....don't tell anybody!!(:

Get the "I don't give a fuck attitude", and just know that you're better than everyone else... and believe in yourself. I hated speeches, but this has helped me... haha... It's ok if it's a bit conceited.

Because most people feel that Emo kids are acting like it for attention & because it's trendy & that irritates people. Everyone has problems & feels depressed at times, but Emo kids try to shove it down everyone's throats & make a statement by being so meloncholy, and it's irritating.

Buy all the cds you can of emo bands and memorize trivia. Buy expensive clothes. Go out with the boy they all like. Assimilate yourself into a 'clan-like' thing where you can pick on people.\n\n\nDisclaimer: they will also hate you. welcome to being a girl.\n\n\n\nOr you could, get some type of talent. Like, singing, music, etc. If you do well in your grades and dont act like you study or try they'll at least think your smart. That's the best bet if you're ugly and fat :D.

I have a cousin that is exacxtly the same. My advice is to ignore him while he acts that way, then ask him what his problem is when he's in a good mood(especially if you have the upper hand, like you just bought him a soda or something)

Every guy has his own flavor.... but to be true the whole theory of "emo"  he's probably looking for an artist of sorts.  A painter or a writer maybe.  \n\nTake it from a girl who's dated tons of emo boys while wearing an abercrombie shirt.  It's not what you wear, it's who you are...\n\ngood luck.

Just ignore them. There's not a lot you can do about people like them. You could always insult them back, but you know that would be wrong. You could stay in a group of girlfriends (or guyfriends) that would help protect you. You could notify the schoolboard, but the likelyhood of them doing anything about it is very low. Oh! A really cool idea is to do something special to your jeans, or at least to one pair. You could draw on them, or tie them up specially (like capris) or you could just make up something! Maybe wear a cool belt and always make sure that you look and smell nice. You don't have to be "cool" per say, but if you have a nice, sleek style then you won't have to worry about them. This is great because it costs nothing! Other things you can do are: 1. wear inexpensive jewlery (just not something cheap looking) 2. Do something with you hair every day. It doesn't have to be fancy, just fun. A messy bun, curly, straight, pulled up in a pony tail, pig tails, crimped etc. Well, that's about all I can think of right now! Also, don't worry about what other people think of you. The main reason I listed all of those things above that you can do to yourself, was for your benefit, not theirs. If you feel good about how you look, then it doesn't matter how everybody else looks at you. \n\nP.S. I only have 3 pairs of jeans too! :D

Chill out.  "Emo" is a term way over-used by the generation who's most guilty of it.  Most things people call "emo" though, aren't really, and it's starting to piss me off.\n\nEmo is hyper-emotional.  Poetry is already MEANT to be emotional.  To have an "emo" poem you would have to have it so crammed full of emotional pointless crap that you probably couldn't even really call it a poem.  Just write what you feel, discard the bad and learn from it, improve the good and learn from that as well.

learn to appreciate the little things\nshare more moments with family\nlisten more and talk less,\nWANT to console in others more than the want to be consoled.\neven if you don't agree with someone's beliefs, don't HATE them but empathize with them, because you never know when you will be faced with the same struggles that person went through! <3\n:)
