"Some time before her death, Hannah's parents, who live in Kent, noticed scarring on the inside of her wrists. When they questioned her about it, honest and open as ever, she told them she'd inflicted the wounds herself and that it was part of an emo "initiation ceremony". Only after her death would they discover how she had secretly chatted online to emo followers all over the world, talking about death and of the "black parade" a place where emos believe they go after they die."

Of course lets blame the music for this. Of course this girl was completely mentally stable. Of course her parents did the right thing by not pushing the issue of the scars on her wrists.

Maybe we should start blaming the parents? Or maybe journalists shouldn't begin to criticize what they seem to describe like a species - "emos" - before they know the whole story.

I'm sure the person writing this article has never listened to a My Chemical Romance, Good Charlotte, or Blink-182 song long enough to realize that suicide isn't encouraged. But in order to make a statement, they obviously feel the need to terrify parents into banning most of this music from their teenagers' lives.

One-sided journalism is NOT okay. One of the main principals in journalism is to stay neutral to not take sides and just provide the facts. However, this is far from what The Daily Mail has been doing. This petition is to stop one-sided journalism, not just against the species of "emos" but against any topic that hasn't gotten a fair overview.
