9. Real question: Are EMO's human?

If they are NOT, problem solved.

14. There is no doubt they are humans

I wonder what do they represent, depressed teens, insecure teens, how is their life style?

15. More seriously, portraying themselves as EMOs is only making their self esteem and the situation

with their peers much worse.

11. Emos need to be tickled...
