This artcle caught my eye because before reading it i wasnt sure exactly what emo was. before reading this article i had always just thought as emo as people who were very emotional and sometimes cut themselves. According to the article this isnt completely incorrect but theres alot more to it that i wasnt aware of. for instince emo is actually an extreme psychological problem which i thought of it as people making a statement or rebelling from something. also alot of the psychological problem is thought to be caused from drug problems. The heart of the problem is depression, a very extreme depression at that. the writer thinks the problem needs to be addressed my school teachers and peers to help this group of young people and i completely agree. people need to be aware of the problem to be able to help "emo"tional teens. The writer looks at the mass depression in our country as a kind of 21st century plague that needs much considering to the reason for the problem.
