Freedom of Self-Realization in Terms of Emo Girls' Clothes

Medics and teachers become worried every day more about the state of mind of modern teenagers. Sociological surveys witness that each day more and more teens fall into depression and become inclined to commit suicides. Loneliness, shortage of understanding and disregard from the side of adults are amongst the wide-spread causes for such a deplorable situation. A great amount of teens search out resolution of such problem in becoming the supporters of various subcultures like punk, emo, goth and so forth.

You might witness an amount of complaints from the side of adults and educationalists about the baneful influence on the teenagers' mind of these subcultures. Teenage psychologists, quite the opposite, assert that the very subcultures assist teenagers to outlast hardships and defiance of everyday stressful conditions. Let's take the culture of emo to prove this statement. Emo boys and girls, despite the living social opinion that they're aggressive, show reverence to everyone irrespective of the ethnic belonging or faith. The most important point is that emo people are capable to throw down the gauntlet to the standards of community in the terms of emo clothing and look. Emo girls and boys clothing varies from the average way of dressing up: both sexes wear gym boots, dark close-fitting trousers with thorny waist-belts, colorful pins and straps, a dark coat and a bag over the shoulder. An emo clothes isn't the method to discern from other people but just the method to exist. The anger of some people can as well be aroused by the appearance of emo boys and girls. Both emo boys and emo girl pierce their noses, tongues and other parts of body; both cut their hair short and dye it dark leaving a long lock that covers half of the face and is colored pink; both make bright make-up. In emo culture eyes are supposed to be the essence of feelings that is why emo girls and boys accentuate their eyes with black eyeliner and dark eye shadows. Psychologists state that there's nothing abnormal in it as young people are able to express themselves unreservedly this way.

To say more, outward look and clothing aren't the mere things that differ emo boys and girls from typical teens: they have peculiar psychological state. One might simply discern emo girl from the rest teens because of her extraordinary sensitivity and modesty. Openness and frankness are as well the peculiar traits of character. Strong feelings of affection and sensitivity discern emo boy from other teenagers. It's rather dissimilar feelings, though, that discern from the models ordinary citizens have used to. The degree of expression of these feelings is several times bigger with emo boys and girls, for instance, they may be rather dejected if they don't get commendation or reciprocal feeling of people who are around. In contrast to emo young people, medics state, average teenagers in such conditions usually retreat into themselves that at times ends with self-murder. Emo boys and girls do not hide their emotions deep inside; they communicate and share their opinions with each other. Well, is there any reason to forbid your children to mix up or to become a part of any youth formation? As the final point it is needful to say that parents and educationalists shouldn't forbid their offspring to be apart of any youth subculture or youth group and give them freedom for self-expression.
