The reason I love My Chemical Romance

The reason I love My Chemical Romance.

It was a year ago, my little sister noelle would listen to this band. She would go on and on about how amazing they are and I would just smile and changed the subject to something I knew about. One day she was on her laptop I came and sat next to her. She had the Helena song playing and she was looking at pictures of My Chemical Romance. On my stupid behalf I freaked out that she was listening to them I did NOT like the idea of her even talking about them. (note : I listened to Ozzy, Kiss, Rammstein, Rob Zombie, Green Day etc.) I read and heard of MCR being a suicide band and how they basicly would tell people to cut themselves. I know but it was just the only thing I would non-stop hear about them. I notice after we moved that was when she started to listen to them. She became quite, MORE anti-social and didn't like school at all! When we were little she used to love school but once we hit 12-13 yrs old it stopped. I just didn't see that it was new school we went to that actually made her that way. I just instantly thought it was MCR's fault.I know I was overeacting but I was so scared that my best friend in the whole world could ever think about suicide. I told my sister that she shouldn't listen to them at all... EVER. She just ignored me and I sadly and stupidly began to actually hate MCR for a bit.

About 2-3 months later, me and my sister were in our room, I was doing I don't know something and my sister put "You Know What They Do To Guys" by MCR on. I didn't know who the band was but the song was awesome! I asked her who was the band and she said MCR. I nodded and thought hmm thats not a band song. After that I just thought of them as an okay band.


Then about 5 months ago, I was really depressed, My dad's illness got alot worse, my mother would call me a piece of shit or something else along those line on a daily basis. I basicly raised my two baby brothers because my mom wasn't a mother and my dadwas to sick. I was teased, shoved and scolded at my school, sometimes I would try to fight back but the mocking only got worse and they would get older, bigger guys to pick on me. I came home one day acting like nothing is wrong as always and went to my room. My sister was on here laptop laughing so hard at something. I smiled and asked what was she watching. She sent me a link on Steam and it was an fan video called MCR moments I rolled my eyes and laugh. I started watching it and then Gerard Way said something and then someone commented on it  that made start crying (without my sisters knowledge of coarse) it was

"Just to know that it's okay to be messed up, 'cause there's five dudes that are just as messed as you are." and

"If for one minute you think you're better than a sixteen year old girl in a Green Day t-shirt, you are sorely mistaken. Remember the first time you went to a show and saw your favorite band. You wore their shirt, and sang every word. You didn't know anything about scene politics, haircuts, or what was cool. All you knew was that this music made you feel different from anyone you shared a locker with. Someone finally understood you. This is what music is about." that was the comment.. the girl said she missed that quote in the video.

Over a week or so I started to listen to every song of My Chemical Romance's. I listened to all the lyrics, I watched many interviews and realised they actually helped my sister and they were also helping me. I didn't take anyones shit I beat up a girl that called my sister a whore because thats just not right and I wasn't gonna let someone else be bullied for nothing ever again! I made amazing friends with people I never took the time to notice that they sat next to me in class. I was back to my happy self again.

And now  I spread the word of My Chemical Romance, when I even think about cutting I listen to "Sing" or talk to my sister about it. They made me a better person , gave me self confidence, and made me want to sart a band that will hopefully save lifes like they saved mine and my sisters. Thank you My Chemical Romance for making believe that shit gets better no matter how bad things get.
