I see a lot of people here and on the internets try to take advantage over the disadvantaged, the emo's. Whenever a thread is made by a person having a bad life, and then the person makes a thread, you can be assured that he/she will be bashed. There are those person's who call them losers, or "LOL emo" they feel so good about it, because chances are, they will never be in that sitaution.
According to them, the world cannot really throw anything serious at them, and of seeing the disadvantaged writh in agony, they are satisfied. They are so satisfied with the prospect they had a superior childhood, or anything else they can draw upon as a comparison to make themselves feel significant. Of course, for those lucky individuals, deriding the insignificant is something of a casual thing, but still worth it. These bright individuals have not really seen the darkness of the day. but this is when I ask the question.
We can be sure that these prospective individuals do have some need for power. We can also assume and consider that these individuals have, unfortunately, holes in their hearts. They are also weak somewhere inside. So my question is, simply through observation, if Emo's suck at life but somehow survive, would the narcisstic prospective individuals do any better or worse if they were suddenly transferred into the place of the Emo and into his/her life, and grew up with an exact similar childhood? Would these lucky well off individuals do worse because when they are of high status they are still not satisfied regardless of how successful they are now?
I'm aware that the poor unfortunate beings still cling to life, and that they are not considered normal by societies standards. But what is exactly considered normal? Would a normal person survive well if they were in that poor person's shoes or life?

its all about maturity level. those who always yell "emo" are immature and are disrespectful. people have good lives and bad lives...the bad ones need places to vent and the internet is the only place they have. its no wonder suicide rates have sky rocketed the last 10 years...'emo people' can't even hide behind their monitors without being harassed.
but good work on the last few lines, i highly doubt those with the 'good life' can deal with trauma in their lives.. they don't have resilience.

I, and I believe most people not belonging to the emo scene, define emo differently than "emotionally affected person".
When I see the word emo, I think of suburban/generally well-off kids who, despite never having really been through trauma in their lives, whine incessantly about dark matters. It's normal to vent, but to complain about how hard the world is when all you've lived through is the normal teenage bullshit is most certainly worthy of ridicule. This varies case by case of course; if someone is in a legitimately hard situation, they do not deserve to be mocked. They deserve to be supported or ignored.
But, seeing as this isn't the case for a significantly large portion of what we on the internet see of the emo population, your argument doesn't really apply to the emo scene, but rather just to those who have suffered a legitimate tragedy. Examples of that would be a death in the family, a hard break-up (though if you can't move on from this one given time, you still qualify), other large, sudden losses or a history of idol abuse. I do not think the majority of TL (granted, some retards would) would respond in the manner you outlined to any of the above.
Without such tragedy to mourn over, it's mostly just whining or a case of "poor me ;_;_;_;", neither of which has reason to be tolerated.
As for the question, the flawless living the lives of the flawed, that is really varied by person. You cannot ask such a universally applicable question, as different people have different breaking points; some people truly are emotionally weak, some people can move on quickly through a lot of bad shit, some people just adjust with time. It's all individuality, so you can only observe and question on specific cases, and the only time I would truly deem it worthy is when an individual isn't sobbing over some trivial thing.
