This girl aparantly went on tv because she was fed up with the way her parents treated her (because of the way she dressed) *caughs* brat *caughs*. Read the article carefully as they describe what the girl looked like when the news people contacted her. THEY CALL THAT GOTH? I don't think Andrew Eldritch's picture should have been in the article either, but I guess they thought it would give the article more credibility.

Then also pay special attention as she describes her transformation to goth. It's truly very funny.

...she was so angry about how the local town was treating her, she penned an article in a the local town newsletter....

OOohh! There is a firey one. Nothing more threatening than an outcast goth who decides to...write an angry letter?

Because, you know, thats so goth. :)

I think some of the replies that people left there have made me shake my head more than the event itself. If you have a minute scroll down and read Andy's.

Yeah, the commentators are idiots for the most part.

I can't imagine why anyone cares about this girl. What teenager is really happy with the way they're treated all the time? Who cares?

I couldn't find andy in there

It says "Andrew" as the name but he refers to himself as Andy in the first or second line.

I generally didn't care about how I was treated. I knew I was a teenager and that I was going to be treated like shit, especially with how I dressed. Everyone will grow/earn respect over time.

can you copy and paste it?

grrr
 

posers all of em.

Hello, iam Andy and iam a 17 year male old goth from lancashire well got to say iv been a goth for the past year, and the differeance that people treat u like is astonding, some people will treat u with abit of respect, others seem scared and others just laugh at you and think your a joke, and others will just shout verbal abuse at you its just a shame they dont realise how much happier iam now rather than a year ago, because b4 i was a goth i weighed about 13stone and was quite ugly to be honest, but since then iv lost two stone in weight and hav so far grone my hair to my shoulders at the back and my fringe touches my chin id say it is deffinately worth it because now i feel alot more confident in myself that i have my own image and people actualy are wary of me rather than pushing me around and bullying me all the time like in my old high school

There it is, in all its glory.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
if you become goth you WILL LOOSE WEIGHT

Now I have a mental image of Elvira saying "TrimSpa, baby!"

:D :D

You mean it wasn't eliminating red meat and soda from my diet? Dx
My life is ruined!
