Ah yes, the emo phase -- something that is the inevitible for the majority of us; like going through that awkward tomboy phase. Some of us go through in early middle school; others early high school. I was a "late bloomer" as some may say. I didn't go through mine until Junior year of high school and it didn't end until the middle of Senior year. ..Yikes. These are 30 signs that I was finally over my emo phase; maybe some of you could relate.
