How do I tell mom that I'm emo?

u walk up to her and say “ hi mom I’m emo”

Think your mum should have figured it out by now. Im sure if my kid dyed their hair black and listened to emo music I would figure it out. Why should it matter anyway?

just make a compliment on something that looks emo while your mums around and go “man that is so rad. its like so emo” and then your mum will figure out youre emo. but seriallly dood, emo is a subculture like chav, skater, goth etc. last year when I went through an emo phase, I was ashamed of saying or even thinking that I was emo because I thought that emos were depressed and cut their wrists…how dumb I was then. yeah emo has nothing to do with being depressed. =) yeah now I wear watever the hell I want. I reckon im more alternative now.

Hm… Okay… Emo is a genre of music, it means nothing else. Except some people consider it a style. Why would you need to tell your mom? If your trying to say that you have some things going on emotionally then find out whats making you feel that way and deal with one problem at a time. If you want to talk to your mom about some problems, then just sit down and talk to her. It will make her feel good knowing you can turn to her when something is wrong.

well shes probably aware of a lot of bad things that people consider emo. emo is a genre of music and now a style of dressing. emo has nothing to do with self harm (thats has its own catagory) its really just like being part of a stereotype… goth, punk, prep, jock, nerd, gangster…whatver esle there is now days. sum up all the reasons why you consider yourself emo. and tell them to your mum. it shouldnt be a problem if you dont do anything thats wrong.

She would have picked up that something is different with you like my mum did, I think they more discovered me, than I told them, its best if you tell them though , when they find out for themselves they feel somewhat betrayed…?

Just tell her your going through an emotional time right now, you just need time to adjust and find your place in the world, your depressed and want or dont want help…etc…if you need more help comment me!

why are you emo anyway? that is the spirit of depression! I rebuke that spirit.
