Emo Diary (Lima, Peru)

April 16th
Dear Diary, I felt very depressed this day. I watch Jimmy Carillo in the news and described Emos like a crazy movement that wants to get the attention of the people. It is true that Punks hates (as he said). They are being unfair and irrational.

April 21th
Dear Diary, I woke up unhappy as usual. The day get a little better, but not enough. It's comforting that some of us express publicly like Junior Medina. He defended our ideals about music and he was right to say that we only care to express our emotions by the way we look.

May 2th
Dear Diary, I'm more sad and felling bad than ever, Punks are starting to attack us, they may start a march. Most of us don't know what to do, fight or hide. I'm scared they are to many Punks in my block. To many of the ordinary people will not defend us, but they will support the Punks. Life is unfair.

May 10th
Dear Diary, I'm very intimidated. The Punks start sending some sort of ultimatums to us, and they don't lose the opportunity to insult us. Some of my friends are considering the idea to kill themselves. I tried to convinced them is a stupid idea, Carlos the neighbor in front all ready suicide. I hope no-one do the same.

May 16th
Dear Diary, I don't know what to do, Punks start attacking more seriously, they are hurting my friends. Our parents are very concerned. I'm very sad and depressed, my best friend move to Colombia, now I'm really alone.

May 30th
Dear Diary, I cried all day, I got the new that my best friend suicide.

June 1st
Dear Diary, I decided to seek help with my parents. We talk all night, I'm feeling better. The told me that they accept me how I am. I think now I can enjoy more my days from now on.

EMOS!!!

Emos are some kind of urban cult, for e.g Punks and Skates. In my opinion these people are crazy and bad because all their ideals are about how society discriminates them and feel sad for it. That is understandable, but that someones suicide themselves for this reason is fool. Another think I don't like of them are the way they express themselves using a lot of darks colours in their clothes and hiding the half of their face with their hair is strange. The third thing I dislike of Emos is their music too much of their song's lyrics talk about black parade (the place where Emos think will go when they die) or things about dead.
