I'm not justifying the fact that those kids bully you, but wearing your emotions on the outside IS looking for attention. I used to be VERY much into the whole emo thing, I know how it works. You think your teenage issues are so much worse than everyone else's real life problems and you want everyone to know how dark and disturbed and troubled you are by wearing black clothes, heavy make up, dark hair that hangs in the face, trust me. There's nothing you can tell me about being an emo kid that I don't already know.
I used to be called names too, and it pissed me off real bad. However, around the age of 17 I grew the fuck up and realised my "problems" were pathetic. I was not depressed, I was a teenager. I did not have issues, I had emotions. Have you actually been diagnosed with depression by a psychiatrist? Cause if not, please don't come on here and try to tell everyone you have an excuse to dress like you're looking for attention because you actually suffer from depression. People throw that word around way too easily and as someone who had a father (emphasis on had) that suffered from depression, it insults me.
There's nothing wrong with having a unique style, and chances are when its not a style based on showing off how terrible your life is, you won't get made fun of it and if you do, it wouldn't bother you anyway. I always liked the whole metal scene, and when I grew up I figured out how to actually express my style without looking like homo in the process. I got tattoos, piercings, and I still wear kick ass mostly black clothes. I still have super long black hair and wear eyeliner, I just do it because its how my style is done, not because I'm trying to advertise my emotions to the world. I don't expect you'll even understand what I'm trying to tell you because when you're young enough to refer to yourself as emo, you're not really capable of comprehending anything logical, but try to drop the emo act if you would like to have a fairly plesent high school experience.
