Goths in school... - Page 23

Heatherzilla · 02-23-2007, 06:59 PM

My school has an over abundance of goth, emo and metal kids. We have no uniform and no one really cares what we wear. We have lots of kids that wouldn't fit in at a normal school so everyone here really sticks together.

Vyvian Blackthorne · 02-23-2007, 07:09 PM

Dearest Lord....Was my expirence perhaps the worst? As a forever goth since ten I'd just like to say the least that school was perhaps one of the worst of sodomy any person could ever endure. I first went to a shitty, bitch ass Catholic school were we had to wear these goddammned prep uniforms that I refused to wear. I came to school one day wearing a chained wallet, black skull T-Shirt and ripped arm fishnets with tight Victorian pants (odd mixture, eh?) and they threanted to call the police on me! This was a few days before Columbine, then after the incident my parents took me out of that school. But the public school was filled with these awful white trash kids who wanted to be black (a word to describe them will not be used here) who thought I worshipped the 'D'vil' and killed people. I asked them once why and they said, 'That's what gothic people do.' How disgraceful this awful prejudice was...sorry for my bitchiness. Finally now I am on my own I am accepted for being goth.

its just the floor length ones...and the ones with lots of layers, of lace and stuff...i have a uniform to wear as well

I haven't been in school for a long time. Trenches and spikes and chains were pretty much it in the "no no" areas. No one in my school ever tried wearing make up, if they were a boy. I had a small number of friends. People found me weird and creepy, even the rocker kids because back then, I just wanted to wear all black. In my junior and senior years I got more creative.

I joined the military about two years ago. I've been battling those regulations tooth and nail. Essentially, I've been fighting to be treated as an equal and fairly.

I abide by the military rules, but I also abide by the very limit of the regulations. I straight refuse to get a high and tight. I had my department try to stand there and force me to get a high and tight just like everyone else. I tried to keep my hair at the time. I cut it to the limit... they wanted more, a tapered it in a bit and made the sides shorter... it still wasn't what they wanted. "I'll be damned if you make me have a fucking high and tight. I'm not a god damned jar head." I came out of the bathroom with my head slick bald. If I wasn't going to have my hair, then they weren't going to have me either. Which was creepy for everyone because despite the uniform, I looked like a skin head... bah.

when I was in school, there was no 'goths' but not long after we left school, a few people from my year turned gothic

raggedyanne · 02-26-2007, 08:21 PM

no 'goths'! What I don't like is when all the preps try to be goth or rocker and fail miserably. It almost makes me want to be emo. ALMOST!

Wolfinlied · 02-27-2007, 01:10 PM

back in my day (makes me sound old) i went to Xavier high school. The principal was Sister Francis and she was a dog, she ripped a pendant from around my neck when i called her sister franny after she told me to remove it. No nail polish, no makeup, no crazy hairstyles, no sunglasses, no caps, All dress coded. It was all rubbish. The school motto was "The truth will set you free". I hated that motto and i hated the big ass plarque of the coat of arms with that on it outside detention hall. I was suspended for three days after redrawing it in detention as "The truth will set you FUCKED" i wasnt to creative but my mates thought it somewhat amusing.

Underwater Ophelia · 02-27-2007, 01:35 PM

My school doesn't really try to stop it, but the security guards bitch a lot. I go to school with Haunted House, and they bitched at him a lot for wearing his Alien Sex Fiend shirt. Other than that...nothing really. I've worn long black tulle petticoats over shorts and porcelain doll makeup and no one has said anything.
Then again, they probably know I'd raise hell, because the slut population has gotten out of control, and no one seems to mind.

Wolfinlied · 02-28-2007, 04:00 AM

the slut population here on our main street at night is out of control too, and they walk around so pleased with themselves, it disgusts me that they could dress like that and do the things they do to be popular (you know what i mean) and come off still feeling good about themselves.

yuk.

raggedyanne · 02-28-2007, 03:26 PM

How can they stand to look like brothel maids everyday? Why does the administration let them wear those clothes and practically sell themselves every lunch hour, while I got dragged in for wearing a pretty modest corset top?! I'd rather be a nun then be like them (no offense to any nuns lurking around)

Underwater Ophelia · 02-28-2007, 03:38 PM

Just out of curiosity, did you mean "pretty modest" as in somewhat modest, or pretty and modest?

kimaru · 02-28-2007, 03:46 PM

There are only two goths at my school, We get some nasty comments and dirty looks sometimes but the teachers are usually okay. There is one teacher who thinks we've gone off the deep end and keeps trying to inspire us to change our lives into something good, she told us to " Enjoy the brighter side of life" . A few months ago she pretty much gave up but now and then she'll come up and say "Isn't it such a lovely sunny day! You should try to enjoy it!". It's almost funny sometimes...almost.

Underwater Ophelia · 02-28-2007, 04:02 PM

Oh...that's obnoxious. I guess we can chalk it up to their misunderstanding, but I hate it when people equate goth and mental problems.

Awww, I'm sorry that happened to you Vyvian. If I were you, I would have worn a swastika arm band to school. See what people would have found of that. Guarentee that would have shut them up.

Mir · 02-28-2007, 07:22 PM

Goths in a shallow grave.. oh wait, I'm in the wrong thread.

Mirazatha · 02-28-2007, 08:09 PM

My old highschool didn't care. Mainly because there were...4 or 5 goths, a top count of 8. And most of the rest were gangster/wigger types, who thought they were gangster, but were just dressed-up pasty-assed white guys smoking weed laced with god-only-knows what and skipping school 50-60% of the time. So they didn't really care about us. One guy who still goes there i could actually use to arm somewhere between 3 and 5 people effectively.

Wolfinlied · 02-28-2007, 11:46 PM

lol @ Ophelia. Thinking goths and mental illness are the same thing is a big problem round here the cops harrass and threaten goths around here that they will be taken to hospital and sedated for the way they look. They see that as solving a big crime problem, like we do it all or something. We were blamed when a church burned down when it turns out the person who did it was a goth and was actually a church attender who was angry at god. So now if we see the "fashion" police on our main street we have to hide because we either get thrown in hospital or kicked off the street for the night. They are trying to maintain a "crime free and clean community". Sorry if there are a few spelling errors, im half asleep.

angelic mortician · 03-01-2007, 09:41 AM

i left school behind years ago, although i wouldn't mind going back there just to see how they react with things these days.
they were kinda tolerant at my school, but then again, i was barely in school towards the end.
fuck em, do what you want!

Panther · 03-01-2007, 10:49 AM

I actually didn't have a problem in school. I was a thespian, so a certain amount of weird was expected.

Only thing that gave me trouble about my clothing was when they instituted uniforms. Even then, I rocked the khaki and white polo shirt as hard as it would rock.

I even had a fairly large following. . .after I started wearing things, like knee high socks, other people did too. It was flattering and scary at the same time.

At least in high school. You could not pay me enough to go back to the catholic school I attended for grade-middle school. Unless I went back a suicide bomber and wiped out the entire class I graduated with.

raggedyanne · 03-01-2007, 02:11 PM

Bow down to the wisdom of Panther. School sucks. period.

Except for gym. Who knew that the teacher was allergic to the perfume the preps were spraying everywhere. lol

maggot · 03-01-2007, 05:15 PM

You could always wear skin-tight khakis and knee-high boots over them.

For the polo, all you gotta do is write shit on it. :P

HAH!

What was your solution?

DecadentHeroine · 03-02-2007, 02:05 AM

We have a stupid uniform, with ties and chequered skirts and white shirts. I wear jeans instead of the skirt and get sent to see either the principal or the deputy. I got in trouble for wearing fishnets with the skirt as well.

Although when I wore knee-high leather boots with platforms and walked past the deputy's office, she giggled and said "Ooh, how exotic!"

Caught · 03-02-2007, 08:00 AM

I've got no problems with my way of dressing either, I get some weird looks or insulst from brainless people on the playground sometimes but most of the time it are just people i don't know and i'm qiote popular with my own grades and maybe thats because i'm the only goth from my grade. There's one more goth in my school but she's in her last year so next year I'll be the only one, surrounded by a lot of emos.
But further I can wear what I want, never had a complain.

On the playground?

Caught · 03-02-2007, 05:38 PM

Wel maybe it's just my sloppy translation for the big place we have to go to after lunch and during breaks, were veryone meets everyone.
