Honey, you're thirteen. Believe me when I tell you that what you're going through is just a phase and I know that probably makes you really mad to hear that. I felt mad when people told me that my 'I wanna be a master thief' phase was just a phase... Now I want to be a scriptwriter ._. Big difference, eh? But look, emo is a state of mind, standing for 'emotional'. It's not something you can just become by dressing in all black (I do that and I am most certainly NOT emo) or wearing heavy make up like those pop stars on TV. You are using stereotypes, which is wrong in this world and you will look back on as immature. Please, do not even think of cutting yourself either. It's very dangerous and it's not worth it because if you cut the wrong spot, you can kill yourself. Not to mention, you won't want to look at those scars on your wrists when you grow up. Your mother is worried about you and she's getting protective because you're at that age when you think that parents know nothing about you, when quite frankly, they do because they too have been teenagers at one point in their lives... Like, maybe a really long time ago, but that's not the point! By the way, I'm sixteen, so I wasn't thirteen too long ago either. Sorry if it sounded like I was lecturing you, but it's the honest truth.

Okay, first of all, just because someone is emo doesn't mean they need to cut themselves and be depressed or shy. I know people who have been 'emo' and have actually been very outgoing.
Have you somehow forgotten that you're 13 years old? You are not an adult, and you're not even old enough to wear make-up. Paint your nails, do what you want, but you don't need to look like a fucking raccoon, and you don't need to wear all black. It absorbs heat anyways.
Your mom is your mom. She is the boss. You live under her roof, so you must live by her rules. You don't get to just do whatever the hell you want and think it's okay because you're a teenager. If that's your train of thought, you've got a long way to go and your teen years will be quite miserable sweetie.
I'm all for self-expression, but there's no need to be stupid and whiny about it. Wear your black, but not all at the same time. Wear your dark make-up, but do it naturally. Emo doesn't mean clown.
