It's a friendship. They stand up for us and we stand up for them. And most of all - they've taught us to stand up for ourselves.

"Are MCR dangerous? They wear black, their music is dark. Worried parents and over jealous journalists see in My Chemical Romance a danger. They reproach the band with advising their fans to commit suicide on their new CD "The Black Parade". But the singer Gerard Way sets the accusation straight: "People, who claim this, haven't got anything. We want that people decide to live."

Stereotyping My Chemical Romance as a band that promotes self-harm/suicide, is incredibly offensive to us and them. It's lazy on the part of adults and critics who, instead of admitting that maybe they haven't been there for their kids, choose a scapegoat instead. Kids don't self-harm because some band tells them to, they don't self-harm because they are emo and think that's the right thing to do. That's something parents, adults and the wider world need to know and respect.

This project is us standing up for the fact that we're okay. We don't want to fight, this project is just our side of the story that we leave out for interpretation. My Chemical Romance saving lives has become a cliché, but it's true to some people, and the impact the band has had on those people's lives shouldn't be lessened just because the phrase is considered as a cliché now.

My Chemical Romance is the only thing that makes some people keep on living, and media is trying to take it away. We won't let them. We have the right to stand up for the things that mean a lot to us. We have the right to stand up for our rights. We have the right to dye our hair black without hearing from others that we're emo. We have the right to listen to My Chemical Romance without everyone thinking we slit our wrists. We have the right to let a band effect our lives without other people considering it a cliché. These are our rights. Rights that every people should have without having to fight for them.

I truly hope our wishes are being heard and that we're allowed to be ourselves and have our opinion. If not now, it's only a matter of time, because the more media says My Chemical Romance is bad, the more we prove media wrong.
