Instead of actually taking responsibility for failing to notice their child's problems, they decide the best thing to do is just to attack the entire genre of emo and make a big public furore out of it. Disgusting, it's like the Marilyn Manson thing all over again.

and by death
I mean suicide
Oh for fuck's sake.
'emo initiation'? It's a fucking CD, not a cult. You've hit the nail on the head, this is just the paretns passing the buck because they weren't responsible enough to realise their child's problems.
^Pretty much this
Parents blame child's death on Emu

Rod Hull?
Rod Hull RIP
The only time a game between Man Utd and Inter caused Hull to go down.
I can't believe
I've never heard that joke! And in such an unlikely setting...
Whilst it is a shame for the parents to blame a genre
The girl seems to have been a bit misguided on what 'emo' is (if what the NME says is true).
this is surprising
since lyrically it seems to be a happier genre than some
everything should be blamed on emo !
Global Warming = hairspray
for example.
lol

"The Black Parade is a nickname for the place where Emo fans believe they will go when they die."
I can't wait!
hmpf

wtf
"Hannah, described as a model pupil, had started cutting her wrists but told her father it was part of an initiation into the Emo fashion."
...
Complete and utter wtf.
Isn't the Black Parade...
... the name of an album, rather than some sort of pseudo-metaphysical concept? Jesus, and I thought the sub-standard of journalism at the Daily Mail was a stereotype....
jesus.
Two weeks before her death, she started following U.S. band My Chemical Romance.
One of their songs contains the lyrics: "Although you're dead and gone, believe me your memory will go on."
Surely that's the message behind loads of songs?
No one committed suicide because of Candle In The Wind did they?
<insert jokes about how shit Elton John is here>
Hmmm.
Why are they trying to mix this new supposed 'emo' ("i cut and listen to mcr lol") trend with the original one? You can't really say that it started in the 80s when they're completely different.
"The Emo phenomenon began in the U.S. in the 1980s. It is a largely teenage trend and is characterised by depression, self-injury and suicide."
DOESN'T WORK GUYS.
I thought
MCR regularly condemned suicide at their gigs saying how it wasn't the answer to anything etc. etc.
Maybe if the parents gave a shit about their daughter then she wouldn't have to try so desperately to find love from a social group or scene
Matty, thats unfair, as are many of the other comments on this thread
Nobody who has lost a child can understand the pain that the girl’s parents are going through.
Those of us who DO have kids can perhaps BEGIN to understand.
You’d be going through the most desperate heartache at having lost your 13-year-old daughter. And because she committed suicide, there would be the thought in your mind that it was somehow your fault, that maybe if you’d done something different, she would still be here. You’d feel you have failed in your responsibilities.
So you’d try and rationalise it as having been due to some external agent. Cos if you thought it was your fault you’d just give up on living.
So I don’t think anyone should blame them for making statements about music being to blame which will probably have been taken out of context.
Rest in peace, Hannah, and I hope the parents find some peace too.
If you want somebody to be angry with, look to the newspaper.
I have kids
and if, in some point ( some comments were definitely too harsh ), I can agree with you, I tend to think that the people who're fast accusing something or someone, are the one that are feeling the more guilty about what happens. So they try to vent their feelings on something else. It's easy. It's understandable. Doesn't mean it's right.
the reporting of emo in this way
is sort of like people wearing bin liners in 1977 because it said that's what punks do in The Sun, it's the sort of hackery that keeps journalists in work and jeremy kyle on tv, just an easy way to ignore all the underlying problems with the poor girl and shift some papers. Perhaps the parents could have done more in retrospect, but...
What is the coroner's excuse
for being misinformed and small-minded then?
Honestly, when have teenagers never been like this?
"find love from a social group or scene"
she's a teenager.
No
Big Weekend for her, then.
Very few 'emo kids' actually cut themselves, which kind of pisses me off. I mean, I'm stuck in an existential hole everyday, but because I don't have a fringe nobody recognises that. Alas.
Guilty LoL.
^^^
As someone up there said, if the NME report is to be taken as gospel, it sounds as if the girl had a very naive and misguided perception of what 'emo' is.
If that is the case - no wonder the parent's are blaming it for her death. They'd have no other perspective to draw from.
On a serious note,
I think someone I talk to on the internet is done this, and I need advice.
He's been gone for over a week, and often spoke about suicide... is it wrong of me to be suspicious? Any time I expressed concern for him beforehand people would reply with "it's normal teenage behaviour, I was like that, probably worse"... it makes me sick.
Should Texas is the Reason be expecting a supina?
:D
