http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/wereokaynow/ 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. www.mylivingromance.urli.net My Chemical Romance is telling us we belong to this world. They're telling us that it's okay to not to be okay. So sign this petition if you're okay now.

Completely, Not a second thought. For such a long time there's been talk about how My Chemical Romance is Supporting Suicide, That it's their fault, How they are not a good band. And it makes me laugh, truly does. Because if those people, the media and whoever even thinks that must not have heard these boys talk. Because if they just listened, one time, one time when these wonderful boys talked. They'd know, All this band wants is to save lives. They want to help, and they want to reach out and show people they are not alone. And it's because of that many fans adore them. I myself didn't need help saving my life, I wasn't on the track to depression. But it's because this band that I never ever did go down that road. My Chemical Romance Taught me not to be afraid, not to feel left out, because I'm not alone, I have many things to live for. And for that I'm grateful, and I believe in this band. So as stated, I support this Petition all the way. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/wereokaynow/#sig4069256 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. THIS IS THE TRUTH. MCR SAVES LIVES, IT HAS ALWAYS SAVED.
