Some say music is not a type of music. That it is more of a fashion and a way of feeling, hence the emotional. Just recently people have been considering emo to be a genre or music.. Taking back Sunday is one of the many bands people consider to be emo.

Wondering why everyone hates emo? Not all emo people are cry babies or suicidal. Many emo kids come from families which are having serious issues whether it being money issues or what have you.

I think emo is just another label, but my definition of it will be for real. Personally, i used to cut, but I stopped. Take it from me. It's hard to stop! I am bi, but I'm not afraid of it! People shouldn't judge us for what we do and who we are. Emo is a music genre, but also a state of mind. If you're emo, don't be afraid of it. It's just who you are! It's perfectly normal to have a sensitive side, although I'm sassy sometimes. I'm really sensitive when 90% of the time. I love being who I am, though I get bullied a lot. I don't care. Well, in my opinion, emo is just how people describe over-sensitive people. I write tons of poetry, and I'm in middle school. I am not ashamed to say I like girls, ever since I was 9,I have liked girls. I can't help how I feel! But over the summer, I've changed a bit. I'm not AS sensitive, but I still am. I don't let people put me down. Emo is just about being sensitive and expressing how you feel about something. If you get suicidal thoughts, talk to someone, trust me! Don't make the mistake I did. I am a lot better off without blades.

Based on a survey of more than 20,000 random teens, the data collected challenges conventional wisdom that teens engage in risky behavior because they think they're invulnerable. The majority number of teens surveyed said they take chances because they feel hopeless and figure that not much is at stake. Their behavior threatens to turn their apathy into a self-fulfilling prophecy. A study over seven years shows teens who thought they would die early were much more likely than optimistic kids to be subsequently diagnosed with AIDS. They also were more likely to attempt suicide and get in fights resulting in serious injuries. The magnitude of kids with a negative outlook was eye-opening.

Adolescence should be a time of great opportunity and carefree exploration. But a large minority of teens feel like they don't have a long life ahead of them. The study suggests new way parents can detect kids likely to engage in unsafe behavior and potentially help prevent it. Most teens act withdrawn and apathetic but if the parents see strange signs with their teen, it's best sit down with their teen and keep an open mind. Open discussion about their teens sense of fatalism might be a great way they can figure out if their teen is at greater risk so they can take the steps to bring it to the attention of their doctor.

It was once widely believed that teenagers take risks because they underestimate bad consequences and figure it can't happen to them. It's extremely important to talk about how perception of risk influences risk-taking behavior. New research bolsters evidence for an even stronger case against the invulnerability idea.

Fatalistic teens weren't more likely than others to die during the study; there were relatively few deaths, 94 out of the 20,000 teens. The researchers analyzed data from a nationally representative survey of teens grades 7 to 12 who were interviewed three times. Of 20,594 teens interviewed in the first round, 14.7 percent said they thought they had a good chance of dying before age 35. Subsequent interviews found these fatalistic teens engaged in more risky behavior than more optimistic kids. The study suggests some teens overestimate their risks for harm; however, it also provides evidence that some kids may have good reason for being fatalistic.
