i dont wanna be an "emo kid"
Three different people called me emo because I was scratching myself with a tac. No I am NOT trying to be emo because I am way to terified that I will die if I even come close to any razor, or knife, or whatever. But I was just bored I wasn't like trying to be emo or anything. So now those three people are spreading rumors that I am emo. At my school if you are called emo then you suddenly are part of a group of people who die their hair jet black and cut their wrists. I saw that group and I don't want to be apart of that even though I am gonna die my hair black. (i've been trying to get my dad to let me die my hair since I was 7!) also i listen to all the same stuff the emos listen to just because i like it i cant help it if we like the same stuff. what can i do to stop the rumors?

just ignore the rumors. YOU know you're not emo. That's all that really matters. screw those immature idiots
If people don't talk about you, then you aren't worth talking about.

who cares if people think you're "emo". it's just a label anyway. "emo" is a musical genre. some consider "emo" a clothing trend. a person cannot be "emo". it's ridiculous. tell 'em to shove it up their asses. kthxbye. [:

If I was you, I'd ignore the rumors. As long as you know the truth, then what's the big deal? See it like this - kids are judgemental these days, so if they don't like you for the things you do, or what you wear, or what type of music you listen to, then they came fuck themselves. If they love you for it, then hey, that's fantastic too. But getting upset over this is stupid. Let people think what they want, you're not gonna be able to change their mind, and when you try to, then they're gonna think that you really are emo. And being emo isn't about dying your hair black & cutting your wrists [although that's how everyone has made it out to be], it's a lifestyle, and a different outlook on life.
Who cares if you were scratching yourself with a tack? When I get bored, but I put a safety pin through the skin on my arm. Does that make me emo? Not really. Just ignore the rumors, think positive, and have a LOVEME OR HATEME attitude. Fuck what people think.

The rumors sre true. You sound like and emo. I'm sorry, honey, but that emo music has converted your brain to an emo.
My advice: "If ya can't beat em, join em!"
Good Luck, emo baby.

I'm not going to sit here and say that labels mean nothing so just do whatever you want. They may be really ridiculous and unnecessary, but it's becoming a way of life now. Most of your peers will take them very seriously. Labels can have a huge impact on your life. Who you hang out with defines who you are and if certain people won't hang out with you because you dress a certain way, that can be a real problem. Following the labels, no matter how silly they are, makes things so much easier. As for the rumor, just as long as you don't lose your current friends over it, don't worry about it. It's just worthless namecalling and it'll die down eventually. If it's bothering you now, though, please don't add fuel to the fire. Dying your hair black is a very bad idea. You may feel like it's the real you or whatever, but you're not going to keep it black for the rest of your life, almost guaranteed. It's really not worth it. At least wait until you're out of drama-city (aka high school). By dying your hair black, you're just asking for people to say things. You need to be able to handle a bit of namecalling and ridicule before doing anything like that and it seems like you're having a hard time with it already. Don't be the martyr or the rebel by pretending that labels don't exist. You'll look like a complete loser and probably end up with no friends. Sorry, but that's how the world works. Conformity can be a good thing. Don't conform to the point where you are unhappy or hurting yourself, but remember that not conforming usually hurts much much more. Find the happy place somewhere in the middle. Good luck. :)

i think you should ignore them, and do what you want to do. it dosen`t mater what they say, as long as you like it.so, basicly follow your heart, and be who you want to be.

I know that rumours can hurt but Don't get wrapped up in their stupid games and rumours - its what they want.As long as you know who are you are there is nothing to worry about, Just don't care what they think of you.
If its gets worse, please write back.

ok this emo kid crap is getting fucking ridiculous. can i say fucking in here? oh well.
I guess i don't get why you're so offended for a few random kids to think you're "emo". and cutting is a serious thing, not something to just be thrown around and laughed at.
Music is music, listen to whatever the hell you want. or if you're really just so concerned about what people you don't even know think, put highlights in your hair, get extensions, wear pink, get designer everything, walk around school like you own it and be a Prep. everyone loves those but punks and im sure you don't want to be a punk either so who cares.

first of all, there is nothing wrong with being emo. all that means is that you have a different perspective on life; it may not be the best point of view, but at least it`s different. I'm emo...and most of what you said is true, but don`t trip. If people believe the rumors...then that just shows you how low they are and are influenced they are. There probably isn't a way you can actually "stop" the rumors, but you can inform people that anything those three people say isn`t true. Trust me, I`ve gone through a ton of that stuff, and most of it works out. Maybe if you become friends with emo kids...you'll see its not so bad. Then tell the people who started rumors about them and maybe it will change their mind. I hope I make sense. xxx3

It sounds like you are slowly becoming an "emo kid" just because you like the same stuff as emos but you are never truly one of them because you are scared of razors. So to stop the rumors, make sure other people know your not emo by proving it to them show them your wrists or show them your not friends with the emo kids.
Hope I helped
