Hey, Its Lollypop here, the one you love to hate. sweatdrop

So many people tell stories of how My Chemical Romance has changed their life. Either it be by their music, or their lives, they've made a difference.
So, spill the beans, and show what they mean to you.

Personally, although this isn't as big as what MCR have done for others; My Chem have taught me to be myself, and never give up. Who cares what other people think, stand up for your rights and kick some high voltage a**.

I've changed since I started listening to My Chemical Romance. SO MUCH! Just ask my parents haha. They refer to me as the freak child. But changing myself made me a better person, I don't need to follow sheep and "fit in" to duck under the radar.

Hehe, yeah.

NEXT!

me to they were the first band i listened to 3nodding

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.

mmm i suppose they have a little, not as much as the person above^ but in a way that they sorta let me see that there's nothing wrong with being yourself, and that there is hope in my life =]

O.o

I think they've helped me in a lot of ways.
I have started to write stories, and they've been so good, my parents told me they could publish them! If I do publish them, I will put MCR as role-models. Because, without them... I might not be where I am now.

They are very important and influential in my life.
I hope there will ALWAYS be a 'Chemical Romance' in the world.

I love how MCR helps me deal with little every-day problems, or big problems.
They helped me come out of the closet, and that if someone doesn't like me, o well, who cares. That someone isn't bringing me down.
