My Chemical Romance was one of the first bands I ever listened to.
They taught me that I'm not alone.
That I'm worth something. (before I thought I was nothing)
They also taught me not to take any cr@p from anyone.
I always got teased because I'm asian.
But, now I kick @ss!!!
heart Thanks To My Chemical Romance!!! heart

It's not a particularly dramatic story, but MCR (along with other musical and visual artists hailing from New Jersey) have given me a sense of pride in being from the state. Prior to listening to them, I don't think I really would've felt as closely-tied to my state, but they've kind of helped me get fettered to dear New Jersey. I'll still love this little hellhole even if I go out-of-state in college. :3

I guess they taught me to not take s**t from anyone, and to be myself, no matter what others think.

MCR helped through a rough time in my life. When a friend introduced me to their music, I was kind of depressed and listless. My beloved grandmother had died recently and I had gone to my first funeral. I hate seeing family cry, and there was a lot of crying. The whole thing was so depressing it threw me off balance and I began to wonder about the point of life and if I was really accomplishing anything. MCR's music was like nothing I had ever heard before, and I connected to its raw rage and sadness and beautiful darkness. When I found out that Mikey and Gerard had lost their grandmother too, I was able to understand the music even more. Maybe that's why the first song that stuck with me was Helena. After I became a fan, I began to learn more about myself, and I found new hope. This all may sound really dopey, but it's true. MCR has really helped me in life.

Not many will believe, most think it's a scam, but I was depressed a long time ago.
Listening to MyChem's music and reading about some of them, most specifically Gerard, inspired me to live my life to the fullest, and live every day as if it were my last.

My Chem made me realize that I'm not the only messed up one. xp
I'm more of myself now and I draw and write a lot more to express myself.
So yeah... Not crazy changes but if you look at me now and then look at me a year and a half ago (when I started listening to them), there's actually a couple changes that have really made me a better person. mrgreen

my chemical romance has saved my life twice.
once when i was depressed and secretly suicidal and the album 3 cheers and when i found out about gerard's life story and how he was suicidal and he didn't give up, saved me
and then in the new album, the song Famous Last Words saved me from suicidal (again) and its helped me to try and stop SI
(you cant say that you have stoped because you could start again at anytime)

Xxcall_me_emoxX my chemical romance has saved my life twice. once when i was depressed and secretly suicidal and the album 3 cheers and when i found out about gerard's life story and how he was suicidal and he didn't give up, saved me and then in the new album, the song Famous Last Words saved me from suicidal (again) and its helped me to try and stop SI (you cant say that you have stoped because you could start again at anytime) That pretty much goes the same for me. When I realized that Gerard was just as anxious as I am, that's when I realized that I admired the band so much.

MCR has helped me by showing me not to take s**t from anyone,not to be afraid of being different even though my sis says I'm weird or my cousin calling me emo and telling my family that.they were the first punk band that i ever listened to and now all the bands i like now is because of them.their lyrics are still getting me through a death in my family.finding out that Gerard was also suicidal made me almost cry and my life would just be miserable without any of them.

[.Remy LeBeau] They saved my life. I suppose its not such a bad life but things started to turn pretty sour. 3 years ago My mom had a messy break from my ex-step dad and at first I hated her new bloke. My half sister well I don't see her no more she lives with her dad (my ex-step dad) for about a year now he hasn't let me speak to her or see her and I miss her. My mom attempted suicide, she's allergic to paracetamol and tried to overdose...i had to get the drugs off her. My dad dosn't think i'm good enough for anything, he always calls me a failiur i know he loves me and I love him too but it still hurts that he has no faith in me. Coupled with the fact i don't like talking to people. I wont open up i shoulder my problems alone. But one day all this just got on top of me and i decided 'hey if i killed myself it wouldn't be that bad.' I never thought what it would do to my family, but before i went i kinda...kinda wanted to here something i loved 'cus your hearing is the last thing to go when you die. So naturally i put on mcr i'd been listening to them a while but this just made it clear how much i needed them. I listened to ghost of you and just sat there...and it made me thing of my halkf sister...the line 'never coming home' so i wrote out the lyrics and stuck her picture down. For some reason all my self loathing was still there...but i just couldn't kill myself, i felt stronger then my problems. I called up childline...i felt pretty dumb wasting there time when other kids had bigger worries then bullies at school and my family s**t, but they listened and talked it out with me. I'd have never tried to get that help if it weren't for mcr saying i should. I really wouldn't be here if it weren't for them, I would have missed a lot of things that have made me happy and made me feel like yes actually there is somthing to live for. They made me see i am what i am and i can be what i wanna be. And most importantly they made me realise i wasn't alone. Oh and my mom hasn't done anything dumb since them i'm glad to say, she's happier too and that means i have somthing to try and cling too. Awww... that almost made me cry.

MCR has pretty much saved me and is what keeps away some pretty bad thoughts I've been having. I know that sounds cliched and pathetic, but I don't care, it's true. I've had some really bad experiences throughout my childhood and a pretty traumatic one within the last couple of months. I don't wish to discuss details, but I've been depressed because of this and thoughts of suicide and death are a constant. But I've watched the "Life on a Murder Scene" DVD and I know Gerard and Mikey's stories of depression and suicidal thoughts and just watching/reading how they've gotten through and how much they've overcome, it's inspirational. It makes me think that there's more than just this pain I'm feeling now. And their music's amazing. I have all their CDs and just listening to one of their songs helps calm me down when I'm angry, lift my spirits when I'm sad, or just relax. Their music, to me, is the kind that gives you chills and stomach butterflies because it's just THAT good. MCR really is a band that saves lives, because, right now, it's saving mine...
