Angled haircut, something really edgy
Shop at HotTopic
go to youtube.com and watch the "Lars the Emo Kid" videos. Your friend will definitely want to watch those. LOL
Well first of all, if she is going to the same school, she will most likely be made fun of for not making up her mind on what she wants to be. ( she should be herself ) But changing from "Prep" to "emo" is not so hard. Just throw out all the Ambercrombie and Hollister clothes and get new clothes at Hot Topic. Wear darker shades on the eyes ( LOTS of BLACK eyeliner). Being emo your favorite colors are going to be black and red. If shes going to be emo, there is going to have to be a reason too. Like maybe shes going emo cause of family issues, relationships, wanting attention. But whatever it is stand by her no matter what . Best of Luck!
Well...to be honest I just don't think it should happen but if its what she really wants to do she should start listening to emo music, read up on it and the trend since that's all it is to most people now. Dress the part. By stereotype she should dye her hair black and get it cut where the back is short and spiky and the front is long. If shes all happy..she needs to get over it..get depressed..wear dark eyeliner...keep a journal...

It will tell the fashion and such..
As long as she doesn't start slicing her wrists and whining about how no one loves her, she'll be fine. Let her dress however she wants. Although, might I ask, what brought on this sudden personality change?
Oh and how to be emo? Black nail polish, black eyeliner, black clothes, Hot Topic is a must store.
But you really need the mindset to be emo. You must think depressed. Its not good if you're cheerily proclaiming EMO. People might think of you as a poser.
Let make her your stereotypical emo:
On the outside -
Hair dyed black
Hair straightened
Lots of black eyeliner
Converse shoes
Stripy hoodies
Skinny jeans
Spiky belts
New myspace layout
Depressing MSN display picture
"Emo" music (Blink 182, My Chemical Romance etc)
Bleeding hearts drawn in pen on the back of her hands
On the inside -
Writing poems about pain
Retreating from Hip-hop and RnB cultures
Hate chavs unconditionally
Think like more do less
Omg do not go emo, it's not cool! it's a stigma! do you even know what emo is? no one likes an emo. Maybe she means to go Scene? which is totally different. Scene is hot but Emo is well just sad and misguided. Even better, tell her to be herself and not search for a label, that's just lame. I'm betting you guys are in your teens though but you'll grow out of this later.
that's vary sweet u want to be by her side..emo ppl cut there wrist if u ask me she kinda of being a poser on this and that's what the emo ppl are gonna think she should just be punk i'm punk and it works out...tips on being punk are music and cloths don't wear all black that's gothic wear like pink and balck or lime green and black...take her to hottopic but make sure ur not all prep u might get kick out haha jk jk....best of luck to ur freind
you cant go prep to emo.. well actually my views on emo is wanna be's anyways so i guess she could go emo..just tell your friend to be her self not what everyone else is..trying to be something that your not does nothing for you in this world except give you headaches.
Wow. Someone actually WANTS to go emo? Wow........ Emo is lame. Scene is way better. But the BEST thing to do is not label yourself or anyone else.
So basically she is going to wear different clothes and listen to different music? Big deal..drop the label, be her friend..god, I am so glad I'm not in school anymore
