is my brother turning emo

hes probably turing into what he THINKS emo is unfortuanlty majority of the people who talk about emo and majority of the kids who call themselves emo still have no idea what the word actually means emo is nothing more than a style of dress and a genre of music it has NOTHING to do with cutting (self harm) depression (a mental disorder) suicide, eating disorders, ect because feelings and emotions play NO part in any label or stereotype which is what majority of the kids who talk about emo and majority of the kids who call themselves emo still don’t understand

sum kids just do that stuff because it looks kool and som girls like that and if theres a girl he likes he might be trying to impress her

Just because he likes and wears black doesn’t mean that he is emo. You don’t need to label everyone as soon as they start showing a slight sign of being a emo and most 12 years aren’t emos.

Yope and Dope.

Almost everyone goes through this stage. I definately did. Just don’t be too quick to stereotype. Just because he wears black doesn’t mean that he is emo. He may be gothic or punk. Just let him be who he is and don’t criticize him for how he dresses. Accept him for being your brother. :) Sam

There is a lot to be said about how a human develops, let alone an adolecent boy. That being said he might be going for a goth look more than emo. I’m afraid if it’s emo you’re just going to have to put him down. He’d be hopeless:p.

No I dont think so. in my oppinion, You are only emo if you are deppressed. emo= emotional. I asume its just the style that hes been seeing everywhere and he just thinks its “cool” to seem all hardcore or something lol

Probably just a phase, I wouldnt worry until he starts painting his nalis and wearing eyeliner.
