Hang In There

I got a detention because I told an emo kid to "hang in there."

Explanation

Experiment

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.
