at my school we're all pretty lucky.
The dress code says we can't wear spikes or chains or pants that are really baggy that cover our shoes.
We can wear as much make-up as we want, dye our hair any colour we want, and have whatever color nailpolish we want.
and I noticed some of you said that the teachers are prejudiced to you, not at my school. Most of the "goths" get along better with the teachers than most of the "preps" it's great.
But sometimes a teacher's wife or something will come in and they'll be walking through the halls and you can see that they're uncomfortable with all of the kids around.
I like my school. Now just if we could get rid of the dean of students, who is very creepy{he follows you into the bathroom]
I also noticed how some of you said that the other kids are really mean to you.This is something I'm not so proud of but, at my school the goths usually out number everyone else, so in other schools where being goth is shunned, here it's like you have to be goth to fit in. everyone's afraid of us, not because we're different, but because the kinder-goths are extremely anti-prep and they'll threaten the hell outta everyone else. But The older ones take care of that =^.^=

MELLOW!! hi.
Wow... it's wierd that all of these Catholic schools are so strict. I'm Catholic, and one of my friends wears bondage pants to our church (well... he prety much only has bondage pants and one pair of jeans), and the priest and nuns are all really cool about the way we dress. *shrug*
But that's not school... Our school hates individualism... not many of the teachers, but our administrators. Our English teacher said that if we could write coherent reports/comlaints she would deliver them for us (I forget to whom), but because I have permission to leave class five minutes early due to a medical condition I've had no problem except the wig incident. I have a lot of respect for my teachers... for one thing they work without a contract at my highschool. But I really don't dig the rentacops.
They had to escourt my dad to a classroom to give me a permission slip that I forgot at home! My freind's mom had to be escourted to a parent-teacher conference! One of our hall moniters was fired after the entire volleyball team made a formal complaint because he was making TOTALLY innapropriate comments about their butts and insisting that my freind's pockets had to be searched after some money was stolen (You could barely fit you hands into her pockets!)
Basically... my school is kind of scary at times. I just didn't notice because I have so much leway in terms of how long I can take to get to class.

My school seems really lenient compared to these. The vice-principal and my Spanish teacher are the only ones that seem to care that I wear a spiked bracelet. Even so, all I have to do is take it off for my Spanish class. I usually wear long sleeves, anyway, so it's not all that obvious. I can't exactly blame them for getting on my case about it-- after all, it's their job.
Otherwise, we can basically wear what we want. One of my classmates wore bondage pants and a semi-straightjacket with chains a few days ago. Everyone else was wearing togas (don't ask) so he stood out, yet not one of the teachers confronted him about it. Many students have pink/red/blue hair or mohawks and none of the teachers care. A few guys wear makeup, as well.

I nearly took out my own eye with the damn thing once. I still like it and will wear it forever... or at least until I find something better to wear. The best thing about it is that no one ever takes a swing at me since I reflexively block with my right arm (the one with the spikies.)

I've noticed that about some of my frends... it's almost as though wearing spikes is self defense that just happens to go with the outfit. The town I live in is small, but it's a college town, and some people are just intollerant. Some of m friends wear spikes or carry bizarre weapons like night sticks for self defense because they get attacked a lot by drunks and meth heads on the strip. And the fact that you can't count on the cops to help you because there's like on in a two hour drive radius... they only seem to show up when they feel like busting you for doing something that doesn't even hrt someone else. like smoking pot or under age drinking. meh.

at school, they think of me as a crazy person. But some think me as a goth. my teacher is also a goth too. unlike my classmate, she's a shit too much bubblegum pink in her's. Duh!
but sometimes i am a goth fully. wearing black or red at all times. i hate trendies out of bubblegum pop& ripoff.

It's amazing how much and how often schools can get away with lying through their teeth purely because they're schools.

At my high school, the teacher's always tell you to take of the dark eyeshadow and eyeliner off. Also the black nail varnish but people get away with acrylic nails. We have to wear our blazors during school even in the heatwaves. Too cold for winter and too hot for summer! We get in troublw for bright hair dyes or streaks except blonde streaks. My school is also catholic so no satan signs are allowed either.

To say the true, there are a few goths in my school and no one really cared about the fact that they are goths. I have my hair dyed red and wear spikes and other stuff and no one cares. It's true that sometimes some of them only do for self defence since sometimes it's dangerous around the school.

At my school there is almost no dress code. you can wear almost anything you want the only thing you cant wear is bikini tops and tube tops and no really short skirts and thats about it. They dont care about how much makeup you wear. And they dont care about piercings. Most other schools do.

okay, my school isn't exactly fair on things like I used to think is was.
I wore a skirt on halloween that was well into dresscode, like it was at least two inches past the tip of my middle finger and I got bitched at. but perfect little -scratches name out with a marker- can wear a skirt that shows her ass.
aye. -.-

and people should *really* get KICKED OUT for thongs sticking out of their pants.
I mean really, who wants to see that?
Everyday in my Earth Science class there are four chicks that always wear thongs and they're always showing.
and I *have* to sit in the back because I'm at the end of the alphebet. argh -.-

mlwlildevil, I can relate to your 'skirt' situation.
Back in my highschool years, I got told off by my Italian teacher, for having my dress 'too short' when it was at a decent length, midway between my hips and knees. Yet, there were girls who wore skirts that barely covered their ass and some got away with it. Also, there was this girl in my english class who wore a thong under her tracksuit pants and as she bent down, her thong raised above her pants. The same teacher who told me off, called her parents and about this, telling them that its not appropriate to wear such things to a Catholic school.

My school banned all chains, leather clothing (asside form shoes), boots, you CANNOT wear all blakc clothing, i'm surprised they haven't killed the whole eyeliner thing. ITs wuite annoying. Here they all are telling us not to be conformists, and when we finally have something, they ban it all.

That's a tad harsh. And with the whole underwear thing, I must admit I am guilty of that sometimes although I always check to make sure it isn't showing. Very self concious. I don't want anyone to see my underwear.

The only rule that could have applied was that we had to look "decent". As I was always covered from nek to toe, and usually wore long-sleeved tops and dresses, they didn't have anything on me. I also always wore heavy eyeliner and black lipstick, which never seemed to be a problem.
I guess the trendy people that looked like whores were the focal point.
It might be that they never pressed the point because I was the only goth at my school anyway. And just about everyone loved me because I was quiet, polite and interested in literature.

Not really many adults love me. Can't imagine why though. I mean, i'm not that bad. Maybe i am.... O well. My school just dooesn't like people who wear anything other than hollister or ambercrombie. Teachers just seem to be a different breed.
