Trellia’s comment: Another tragedy in the alternative community, once again brought about by sheer intolerance and cruelty.  And the Daily Mail have the nerve to call Emo a “sinister cult?” I find the bullies reponsible for this far more sinister…

    ‘Darkly emotional’? Well, as much as I disagree with that, this was still terrible. Bullying is one of the biggest causes for suicide, and then these other people just blame it on ‘Emo’…

    killing oneself wont bring salvation, but more sadness 4 his loved one.
    it wont force the bullies to stop there doing, actully it can influnes them 2 do more.
    a life was wasted beacause it was diffrent, all because of sheer ignornce and hate.
    may he rest in peace(i highly doupt thou…)

    Angel, have you been tested for dyslexia?
    I’m not being a douche or a smartass.
    Based on the way you misspelled ’seriously’, ‘there’, and ‘understand’, it seems possible you may have slight dyslexia.

    I think it’s retarded that people make fun of others for the way they dress. I completely understand how that kid feels. I get ridiculed for how I dress, I used to really take it in and let it affect me but now I just smile and thank them. I personally could care less about what people think about me. I’m comfortable with the way I am and if others don’t like it then it’s their problem not mine.
