Because depressing teenagers is REALLY HARD!
As far as I know, teenagers aren't in the real world yet. If you call the real world by the term "High School", I'll laugh at you so hard that I'll probably die at the spot from the lack of oxygen. Teenager depression is nothing more than some relationship with some girlfriend or whatnot. Want to get depressed? Go to Africa. Seriously, you guys have it all with iPods, Television, radios, whatnot, while people in Africa barely have anything to eat, or to entertain themselves. Now please, don't use the "depressed teenager" reason, because I think it's been overused.
Now sure, I can emphatize with Gerard Way's father's death, but come on, that's Cancer here, and it's something that almost everyone has experienced, either through themselves, through a relative, or a loved one, so I can't really emphatize with one person dying of cancer, because I already had an uncle, a grandmother, a cousin, and many other more relatives and loved ones who suffered from it. Now if you look at the big picture, go to Africa or Asia. People have lifespans of only 35 there. Everyday, someone dies of hunger or malnutrition, or AIDS, and there's this kid in the radio moping about something that's so individualistic and trying to shove it down our throats when it's not even our own problem. Now if he goes and gives his money to Cancer Research, donate money for AIDS research, and/or just give a small amount to humanitarian work, I'd give props to him. I'd even ignore his music, and probably just give him the quits for now.
