Hang In There

The humor comes from the double meaning of "hang in there." For an emo kid, who might be struggling with depression and thoughts of suicide, it's a very insensitive thing to say. The phrase is a typical motivational statement, but it takes on a dark meaning when applied to someone who might be considering hanging themselves.
