But as for being Goth, I never had many problems. I would habitually wear spikes, eyeliner, nail polish, and a trenchcoat. My math teacher (an evil Republican bastard) make a remark about my eye makeup and a cafeteria monitor once told me I couldn't wear my trenchcoat because I might be hiding weapons under it (a la Tenchcoat Mafia?). I looked in the handbook and it said nothing about trenchcoats, so I mentally told her to go fuck herself.
One time I wore a black t-shirt that had a picture of a rooster and the word "Cocks" on it; the principal made me zip up my coat, but once I was away from him I unzipped it. That was total discrimination. The jocks and other "popular" people, girls included, were in habit that year of wearing black t-shirts that on the front had a picture of a tombstone with the word "Lightweight" on it and on the back the words "Did daddy raise a pussy?" but that was justified because there was a picture of a cat. As liberal as my school was in some ways, it was just as convervative in some of the worst ways.

Your school authorizes the wearing of spikes? "Holy pigshit, Batman!" is all I have to say.
As for the jocks, they're going to wear offensive clothing for the sheer purpose of ego-masturbation. You should tell your principal, however, next time he reprimands you for wearing the shirt the situation with those dogs. You'll either get the jocks to stop wearing their boastful bullshit, or you'll be able to wear your shirt again without question. Just designate these hypocrisies to people; you'd be surprised how humiliating it can be for some.
