A scary amount of people at my school suffer from edgy kid syndrome and I hope that they find a cure for it soon. Where do I even start? I'm going to choose my friend first, I met her and she was cool whatever. Then she claimed to have depression and proudly showed me her self harm on her wrists. Then she claimed to have add, anxiety, ocd. She would randomly say "Haha! Omg I'm so bipolar look at me!" and she made a huge deal about her apparently being anorexic and not eating in over two days even though she stuffed her fat face with food everyday. She wore fingerless yingyang gloves and said she hated the "basic bitches" (they were actually really nice except for one of them). She liked BTS and claimed that they were the only reason that she hasn't commit suicide yet, and this is off topic but she hated kpop and the next week she loved it. She did things for "aesthetic" and was the tumblr type. She would say depressed things that she probably found on Instagram and made a big deal about liking girls and being lesbian even though she's only dated one girl and the rest are boys. I think she realized how cringey it was and stopped so now she normal. Next is her friend but she isn't that bad, I don't know her really but one time I sat with my friend and she was there and I heard talking, this is what she said: "I'm so edgy that my phone password is literally KILL. If someone asks me how edgy I am from a scale of one to a thousand, I'm like 'a thousand, I'm so edgy'". And she has short hair that is dyed fiery orange that is always straightened, wears a lot of oversized black clothes and chokers but I don't know how bad her case of edgy kid syndrome is bc I don't have classes with her. I'm going to talk about one more person bc this rant is too long lol, this person was in my art class this year and she's a year older. I'm surprised that she didn't love art like most emo kids do, she didn't do much work and the teacher had us sitting at the same table all year long so I listened to her attempts at sounding like a cool Edgelord. Well first of all, she was a skater poser, wore tons of vans and thrasher as much as she could and claimed to love skateboarding, but it wasn't believable to me. She claimed to be colourblind to the colours white and brown but that isn't real, I googled it and she was lying. She thought she was so cool bc the was listening to come as you are, one of the most popular nirvana songs, and it was so cringey to me bc I'm a huge fan of theirs and Incesticide is my fav album. She drew nirvansmiley faces on everything. She apparently had adhd and was sooo depressed and sometimes she put her head down and looked up to see if people saw how depressed she was and drew sad faces. I'm forgetting about the boy I see after I walk out of school, he wears a black button up to his neck possibly choking him, skinny back jeans, black vans, shaved sides of his head with a floppy black fringe, and I don't know him either but he probably brags about how "edgy" he is. Sorry if this is so long, I love to make fun of ppl but I hope it was entertaining.

Bragging about being edgy, now there's something I've never heard or seen. anonymous 6 years ago
^ you're lucky you don't have to experience the extreme cringe when a kid with edgy syndrome talks. I'm surprised you haven't heard of some emo kid trying to be edgy because the mayority of teens do that. I'm so glad I'm just a normal girl, these people think they're so extraordinary and unique when they're just dressed in ugly black with weird hair and fake mental disorders. anonymous 6 years ago
lmfaoooo I know so many people with edgy kid syndrome it's absolute BS makes me wanna push their ridiculously basic heads through a wall (it's ok though bc imagine the aesthetic for their insta) anonymous 6 years ago
^ Yeah, you tell them that they're weird and crazy and they take it as a compliment because being mentally insane is "aesthetic" and "quirky". You're probably not gonna read this but if you do, pleas share your stories they are so much fun reading. anonymous 6 years ago
Lmao. Same with me. Apparently after I break it off with a toxic friendship and suddenly they were all emo and edgy and shit calling themselves Jack, saying things like “satan give me strength” and claiming how they are undead and calling themselves a vampire and just stupid things like that as well as wearing all the things you listed too and just bragging about how “goth” she really is. She just goes around posting everything they think is considered “edgy” and it’s super freaking cringey >3<; Apparently going to the haunted mansion in Disney world is “edgy” too. Who knew? :DD I sure in the hell didn’t, but according to her that makes her gothic 100%. Like please, just stop already lol. It just hurts to see all that.
Btw, this chic is also in her twenties. I went through this stage when I was like eleven like most kids. anonymous 6 years ago
Oh no please tell me you're kidding. There is no way a full grown ass woman does that shit. The Gabbie Show is a great example, bringing in her PTSD, depression, anxiety whenever she can to remind people of how bad her mental health is. She has an unhealthy obsession with mental disorders, named a fucking album "medicate" and oh just stop it won't you. I still can't believe she is almost thirty, she is literally a twelve year old disguised as an adult talking about how dark her life is. It's okay if you want to open up about mental health, but this lady is overdoing it. She also overreacts when she cuts her hair or dyes, no one cares. What I hate about the people the most is that they think that they are so unique because they dress a certain way and cut themselves. Teenage angst is the worst thing ever, these bitches are so pretentious. anonymous 6 years ago
^Nope. Not joking one bit. And she started going down that path just bc I told her the friendship was over. She went through some kind of...rebellious stage bc of it. She acts like a damn child despite being 20. Holy shit-dude. She’ll even watch “scary movies” (more like movies like Monster House and Invader Zim and all that) and call herself emo. It’s really really freaking cringe yay lol. Like she don’t even know how to be edgy to begin with. And, while I want to laugh, I tend to feel sorry for her that that’s what she believes makes her emo. Watching children Halloween cartoons lol while dressing in all black. I am sorry I wasn’t willing to put up with your manipulative ways and you isolating me from my friends and family anymore that you had to go all “edgy” on everyone lol. Whoopsies! It’s ridiculous. Much less now she acts like she is depressed and also does self harm, even threatens to kill herself if she doesn’t get her way, and has anxiety and pretty much every other health issue that I have also (yes, she copied me on EVERYTHING that was wrong with me).
I only let close friends know of my mental illnesses, other than that, I don’t like to talk about it much.
Tbh, as someone who suffers from it, it’s not easy to talk about it. In fact its...humiliating. You never feel like you’re normal and you always assume everyone is laughing at you behind your back bc of it. Or sometimes you will feel like you are the one thats lying about your own mental problems? Weird, right? But that’s anxiety for you in a nutshell. Mental illness is not a joke nor is suicide and I can never understand why people these days thinks it’s perfectly fine and “defines” who you are. Yeah, it defines something alright. It defines that you need some serious help.
And I agree. I HATE IT whenever people go around pretending, or faking, they have some kind of illness. Like, literally they will never understand the pain and suffering of it you got through. Shit, I think it’s awful to live with and I was born with a mental health problem. It ain’t no walk in the park that’s for sure. You can get used to it and ease it, but it’s nothing to joke about.
I honestly like to tell everyone they are unique in their own way but not if they are making a mockery of people who are suffering which is basically what it is in my eyes. They’re mocking the people who suffer with real depression, PTSD, OCD, anxiety, etc. and it’s not cool. It’s just wrong.
And as I said, I became that edgy child at eleven (minus talking about mental problems or self harm bc I could never bring myself to go that far all I did was try to dress in black) and they all do but lawd why adults??? Like they should have gone through that stage already lmao. anonymous 6 years ago
Yes I totally agree with you on the last comment. I don't have a mental illness and I don't know how it feels to have one but I would never never pretend to be sick just to be labeled as "edgy" or some shit. I hate it when people say "omg look I'm so depressed and I cut" because do they really know how much it hurts to have depression and other disorders?? Do they know how much people struggle and want to die because of it?? And do they know that most of these people can't even tell others that they have a mental disorder because they feel ashamed?? My mother has had depression ever since she was thirteen or around that age (the age that most kids with edgy kid syndrome are), and she talks to me about how embarrassed she is to have this disorder and that only her closest friends know. She hates talking about depression and denies that she should go to a therapist. Meanwhile we have these stupid children proudly showing scars and loudly saying "I NEED THERAPY HAHAHAHAHA I HAVE DEPRESSION AND SCHIZOPHRENIA AND I AM A PSYCHOPATH.". Im sorry that an emo twenty year old claims to nave your mental disorders but idk she can't stay like that forever (hopefully). Soon enough she'll realize that she is the cringiest adult woman ever and will say "Damn, what was I thinking?? I mocked my friends illnesses and acted like a child". I'm glad I only dressed in black with long bangs and never got to self harm and fake illnesses, I was only ten and it didn't last long. I thank my fifth grade teacher for telling me to stop being "emo". anonymous 6 years ago
