I want to be emo I'm being emo cause I have a lot of problems in my life but my dad says not to turn emo on him... and people at my school make fun of emo people but people at my school I can deal with. Its just my dad I'm worried about... I NEED YOU GUYS TO HELP ME!

What should I do?! :confused:

P.S I do have problems in my life that really are depressing

So... what exactly is EMO? And why would you not want to be the best you can be and normal (I am assuming EMO is not a normal aspiration at this point). Why not improve yourself through education, looking good and expecting the best out of life. Develop confidence, feel confident and people will recognize that trait in you and respond favourably.

How EMO do you want to get?
Clothing style?
Emotional extremes... drama queen... depressed...

My suggestion to Emo's is start your own style that expresses positive emotions as well as the typical. Like you could use colors to reflect your moods.

Colors and Moods (http://iit.bloomu.edu/vthc/Design/psychology.htm)

You might want to explain to your dad that you like the style but you are not into cutting and (list of emo stuff not into)
IF your intent is to do the style and not the negatives.
