O RLY?!

... Yeah, he sounds real unreasonable.

He hates it. I like it. Pity he doesn't just accept our differences. I don't want to, but chances are I'll grow out of it. He was part of the Reaperz Bikie Gang, he admits it was stupid, can't he let me just at least DRESS and listen to what I want??
Did you ever think that maybe the reason he hates your gory films and black metal is because it's a visible reminder of your self-proclaimed obsession with sharp objects, blood and cutting yourself? If he wasn't already on the alert for signs of deviance, you could probably dress however you like and watch whatever you want. But now you've worried him, he's going to judge you by different standards to kids who DON'T self-harm. You can't blame him for wondering if the extra morbidity is good for you.

I'm sorry but I get so annoyed by people who indulge in little self-destructive behaviours, then get pissy if anyone becomes concerned about them. Sometimes you just have to swallow your self-righteousness, accept that you messed up, and do what you have to do for a while.
