tell him he is an ****
there is nowt you can do just let them be who they want to be you should be supportive of them
dont oppose it you will only encourage him. Its up to your friend to express himself as he pleases but he will grow out of it and look back and smile
you cant im sorry but its not your battle to fight, let him realize it on his own thats all you can do
you can't control someone else. it's his life, his choice. maybe you should be more open minded instead of calling him a fag. just because you're not into it, doesn't mean it's wrong. best wishes
its a personal choice but if it really bothers you make him listen to some good old punk music.
like minor threat, rise against, anti flag, against me, strike anywhere. any good punk band will do.
emo and punk are two totally different categories.
punk kids usually dont like emo kids.
First, you must be very supportive. Try to consider why he wants to be "emo." Is it because he wants to fit in with other emo kids? If so, it's probably just a phase and he'll get over it sooner or later. Is it because he feels depressed or sad and wants to reflect that in his appearance? Maybe talking to him about how he's feeling or talking to him about getting some help for how he's feeling with keep him from going totally emo. Calling him a "fag" is not going to convince him to change what he is doing.
Hit him, its the only way. Tomorrow youll be friends again. Being supportive and EMOtional will only make him go more deeper into that downward spiral.
you shouldn't say fag. it's not a nice word.
tell him wat he could turn out to be
You friend is obviously trying to express himself. Leave him alone unless his actions get dangerous to himself or someone else, otherwise he may act out in rebellion.
I don’t think you have a right to try to stop him, he is your friend not your property. If you were a true friend to him, you would accept that he likes different things to you.
All these labels are ridiculous what is wrong with people liking different kinds of music and dressing different to the main stream.
tell him how bad outcomes will happen from being emo?
Put him in a coma and make him listen to metal during the coma.
Tell him that there are better things to do other then wearing his sisters eye-liner and complaining about life, and that if there is one completely pointless trend, its emo.
if you were a true friend you would let your friend turn emo. it may be his new way of expressing himself. it sounds like you're trying to dictate his life; let him be himself!
you should be supportive of him instead of trying to make him be what he is not. that can only end up breaking up you're friendship. if you value that, then leave him be.
let him be
i think emo guys are pretty hot to be honest. Its his mind, let him do what he likes but when it all turns on him say 'i told you'
Your friend is wearing eyeliner, huh? I'm sorry to hear that. Having a friend turn into something completely different does of course suck, but if there is any bright side to this it is that the *Emo* trend is just a fad and with any luck, you'll have your friend back sooner than later. My only advise is not to fuel 'depressing' behavior because in most cases it is a sign of craving attention. Don't feed in to the nonsense.
Also, hate to say it but one good quick swift kick in the *** usually does the trick. You don't even need to be the one to do it. Let the right person see him walking around wearing skin tight girl jeans (assuming he is guilty of this also) and eyeliner and surely some sense will be knocked into your friend. Not saying I wish for him to be physically 'hurt' but a good tough reality check is always a nice solution.
Ok, first off, eyeliner on guys can be hot. Look at Brandon Urie(Panic At The Disco) or Gerard Way(My Chemical Romance). Second, if you are really his friend you won't mind him changing; just let him be himself. Only time you should interfere is if he starts cutting or doing something scary.
Although I hate emo and all that goes with it, you can't control who someone else is going to become. My best friend from high skool went from slipknot to sinatra! Not that there's anything wrong with ole' blue eyes, but it was just weird. I've experienced people that change their likes depending on their surroundings (I call those chameleons) and others who just slide into different things over time and others who stay the same old boring thing their whole life. Just keep jamming what you're jamming, especially with that friend around, but let him be who he's gonna be. Honestly, emo is just another fad fashion, and everyone who's really into fashion always looks back to their past and says,"Oh I can't believe I wore that!" Just be who you are and pray that your friend does the same.
Would you accept someone telling you to do this or that and conform to some perceived 'normality' and would you accept some derogatory label? People have got to make their own way in life , it's hard enough doing it for yourself without worrying about someone else.
If you don't like it tell him take pics to illustrate your point even if you want though you'll probably lose your friend.
Emo is a fashion of the moment like punk was last millenium fads comes and go seen many punks lately or rockabillies mods or sharpies?
As for eyeliner it doesn't change your sexuality, Alice Cooper made a fortune and pulled the ladies wearing it!
1) He probably likes it
2) If you're a friend, be a friend. If you're more about controlling him, then he's better off without you.
3) Using the word f*g to refer to anything other than a smoke isn't exactly enlightened...
Leave the kid alone. What harm can it do? He is the one who will look stupid , not you. Twenty years from now, he will have these pictures to look at and be embarrassed about. Hell, I had Farrah Fawcett hair!!!
Take lots of pictures and 10 years from now you can show them to all his potential girlfriends.....
first off your not going to get anywhere by telling him not to.
second whats so bad about emo? my best friend is emo!
beat him both physically and mentally till he caves in and realizes he is going to ruin his life or introduce him to weed and lsd he`ll become a chill hippie
tell him its not the true him...he is just going thorough a normal teenage phase..i think..try to do some of the old things that he used to like to do..or just leave him be...your choice!!
Hilarious! There's probably not much you can do at this point as it sounds like your friend has already crossed over to the emo side. Perhaps the only thing you could do would be to arrange to have a full blown intervention. Get all your friends together at a certain location. Then you want to call your emo friend up and make up something like you want to give some eyeliner tips. Once you get him into the room with everyone, have the group lay out the facts and don't hold back any feelings. Remember, this might the last chance to save him. If that doesn't work, make sure to take loads of pictures because at some point he'll look back upon this chapter of life with much embarrassment.
You know all those public service announcements that are geared towards teens about drugs?
Just talk to him like one of those. "You're so much more fun when you aren't like this." "You're better than that, man." "You aren't yourself when you do these things."
Its a pretty good tactic.
Now if he isn't doing this out of sheer idiocy, I'm quite sure he is doing it to get attention from women. Tell him that these aren't the women he should go for. Simply because mostly these women are crazy, immature, extremely dependent and/or diseased.
The last thing he wants to do is get a crazy dependent chick pregnant who would threaten to cut off his tool or kill herself if he left.
Just let him know the consequences. Then send him to places where he'd most likely get the crap kicked out of him... He'll learn.
Give him huge amounts of Hershey's kisses or some Cadbury's Almond/Honey chocolates.
In extreme cases a Swiss Lindt chocolate might help to inject some wild happiness..
good luck
Are you familiar with the parable of the Prodigal Son? When he finds himself slopping the pigs, he should come to his senses and return to the life he once enjoyed.
