Goth And Get Frowned Upon. Yet Rolemodel In School

I'm a goth too. People expect me to be morbid and depressed all the time, but although I have a mild interest in death and what comes afterwards I'm definitely not depressed. The media only shows the bad side of society because when someone horrible happens, like a school shooting, it's inevitable that someone will report it to the newspapers. However, when someone does something really nice it goes unnoticed because it's usually quite subtle and if anyone notices at all it isn't deemed as being dramatic enough to be shown in magazines and on the television.

I consider my self a goth. I know people complain about not labeling people. But as humans we cant not help class people. Thats a fact.

I Wear alot of victorian style black gothy clothes , And beautiful make-up.

Iv had alot of trouble in society. People calling me names and threating to beat me up or kill me.  However in school im a A*-C student and has been said to be a rolemodel to the school's younger students. Im proud to be diffrent and so should evreyone else.

In my opinion i think that the media shows to much of the bad-side of people. They dont show the good things they can do to influence the younger generation. Knowledge can go a long way ^___^


Im stealing This Forum Thread To Tell You All To Be PROUD TO BE WHO YOU ARE (:

you are so right,
there are too many peeps that follow the crowd and are too scared too be different
because they will be put down by the way they look or the way they want to look
it's sooooo anoying cos life's more intresting when we all look different!

why can't peeps stop giving out put downs and start doing pick me ups

Sad init
no one can accept who anyone is let it be goths,hippie,emo and so on(only peeps who understand)

Yeah,
how do they know they slit there rists?
do they follow them?
and like goths are acused at being facinated with death
somtimes thats true but were do they get it from
i know a lot of goths and they just like dressing in black
and it was as simple as that but they still got called, "death kids"

OMG, if it was me i wouldn't have the guts to say it too ur face
Jesus, what a perv

but that somes up society for ya
stupid twats throwing around comments to peeps that look different
makes me feel sick inside

Hey!!!
2-3 years ago, I was a goth too...but as I grew older, I realized, that dressing always in black is not always good. Being an outstander is good when u have similar friends. And I realized, I can hear goth music, dress up sometimes like a goth, but I hav to choose my clothes properly not to be seen as a freak.
At the university, there is one guy, dressed always in black, has long black hair. He must be a brave person, dressing like this in a solid, so same world, where the women hav to wear high heeled shoes, simple skirts, 1-2 coloured shirt...but I think later on, he will hav a lot of problem with his style. I mean, would u be able to trust in a lawyer or in a judge who wears so much black and has a strange style?

I dont think il ever change. People in the court room dont judge you from what you wear. They are around to establish the truth and justice. Most people tend to wear smart attire when attending court and other job interviews as such. But thats just me. Some people go through a phase and try out diffrent styles , and i did. I felt comfortable what i wear. I Dont wear black 24.7 i do wear other colours too. ^_^

I dreaded secondary school. It was okay at the start , went down-hill but i built up courage and started to ignore the idiots who had nothing better to do than pick on me.

Besides , there is nothing wrong with a strange style ;p (:

Maybe it's ok in other societies. But not in here. U r judged for what u'r wearing mostly! The first impression is the most important!

I would actually trust them more.... they are less swayed by public opinion and more likely to think it out and form their decisions based on that instead of what others say they should do.

Who gives a crap what everyone else thinks you should "do with your life?" It's YOUR life, YOU have to live with your actions, successes, and failures, not them.

After almost 30 of years being an "outsider" I have come to the conclusion, after much questioning of "insiders," that a LOT of it is just flat out envy and jealousy, after all, they don't have the cajones to be all that they truly want to be, don't have the fortitude to wear "that dress" that they love so much, don't have the courage to admit they like that song/movie/whatever to their "friends."

Not saying everyone secretly wants to be goth, by any stretch, just that they wish they had the courage that these people show in face of judgmental twits and prejudice schmucks and they allow that to manifest in trying to beat/berate/subjugate those free spirits into the yoke of conformity and secret misery they suffer.

If more people would insist on being themselves instead of allowing themselves to be poured into someone else's idea of success and "happiness" the would would be a much happier place.... not to mention a lot more colourful.

Freedom is worth all, IMO, especially when you consider that it is one of the greatest things you can pass on to the next generation.

Rozii,
i've made friends with goths and goths made friends with me
and i'm not one myself

not all groups of people don't make friends with one and other
and not all of them moan about them not being accepted in society
so don't think goths,emo's,hippies,"high" kids and so on
grumble about themselves being frowned apon cos most of them accept it and get on with their lives, and don't like peeps reminding them of it.

I Mix with alot of people and dont complain , however im rasing an issue upon others thoughts , feelings and actions.

Clothes are clothes yet we still prefer our own way in following the trend or not so trend. The first impression doesnt always count. You dont know the person and they dont know you. Talking is the key part (:
