Yeah, I knew Abraham Lincoln suffered from clinical depression. I knew he wrote sometimes, although I wasn't sure if there were any records of his depressing poetry.
If being "emo" simply means that you have emotional outbursts, then I'm one of the most emo people I know. Hell, I enjoy fiction that contains emotional outbursts and can make me have an emotional outburst. I like being emotional! I'm far from suicidal though. When someone is suicidal, it sickens me how some people can just shrug it off as "Eh, tell him to stop being such a whiny emo." It's a serious problem and usually the person can't help it. Although sometimes they're looking for attention, still, it's not something that can easily be shrugged off if they actually kill themselves.
