A fictional book used to preach and teach good morals, but somehow along the way it was taken seriously by people, and for thousands of years people have been following and preaching its every fictional word.
Following the word of the Bible is no different than following the word of the Harry Potter series, as it is full of incredibly unrealistic magical works. But despite the many self-contradictions, hypocritical preachings and simply unreal magical occurrences, people are still willing to tell you that the Bible and God are real. Most of these people are willing to tell a perfectly respectable and logical person of any religion/race/ethnicity that they are automatically "going to hell."
They are also willing to BLINDLY believe anything that an official-looking person has to say.

Person 1: "DUDE! did you know there was a guy named Jonah who lived inside of a whale?! and that Moses parted the Red Sea with his magic powers?!"
Person 2: "Where did you hear that bullshit?"
Person 1: "It's not bullshit, I read it in the Bible so it must be true!"

Ok, I really want to get this straight. The ORIGINAL definition of "emo" can be broken down like this:
"Emo" is short for "emotive hardcore," or "emotional harcore." The word "hardcore" is referring to hardcore punk music. Emo is a form of hardcore punk music, although after different "waves" of emo coming and going through the years, there are still some bands that differ from the original emo music that can still be defined as emo.
NOW-
the word "emo" is being used to describe the current sub-culture of the supposed genre of music that is emo, although this current subculture is often found not to listen to real emo music. It is actually true that the original subculture of emo looked completely different from what our perception is now.
Just because somebody dresses or looks "emo" doesn't mean that they cut themselves and act sad all the time. And if they do, it's not always necessarily to get attention. Depression is a real thing and should be taken seriously.
"Emo" kids should be given the same respect that is given to any other kind of person, because we are all people and deserve equal treatment, regardless of how we look and what music we listen to.
