Goths in school... - Page 26

My school doesn't really do much. The only things they've done are try to get my tall, adorable, least-intimidating-thing-in-the-world friend to stop wearing his trench coat [they said it was "scaring the students" when we were having a series of people writing bomb threats on the boys bathroom walls.. which turned out to be a 'gangstery' type.]

And if your skirt comes above your knees so much as three centimeters, I'm convinced security would tackle you and force you home. Thing is, they ONLY do this to the gothy types. Which makes me a little angry, even though I'm not one for short shirts. :/

Once again, I think making students take off trench coats is completely justified. COMPLETELY. After all that has happened in schools, it could be a danger. You can easily hide drugs or guns in a trench coat.
However, if they enforce this rule, I think all coats should be banned. Not jackets, but big coats.

And they should probably make EVERYONE take off they're jackets and not just mine. Its understandable how someone might be offended by "Sex Gang Children" painted on the back, though. Still, if you're going to enforce a rule, enforce it on everyone. No jackets is a rule anyway.

It probably is dangerous, considering all the stuff you can hide under there. And I would agree, if it were enforced on everyone and not just him. Infact, I know quite a few people around my school who wear trench coats and don't get anything for it--even a particular lad who runs around biting people and claiming he's a vampire. Though once he did get his backpack searched, they never said anything to him about his huge jacket.

I don't think trench coats are a big issue in reality...

Our Dress code mainly cracks down on the Preps and The Gangstas...

Our Pricipal Respects the Goths of my school... As do the Secerity Guards and most of the teachers. We're all friends withthem and can get away with wearing dresses, skirts, chains, corsets, almost anything because My school is cool.

And you're in what? ninth grade?

When I was at school (ha! Back in the day six months ago

) they only bugged you about big hoop earrings, open shoes (during metalwork), and couloured socks. The Socks had the biggest fuss about them for some reason

maggot · 03-31-2007, 06:11 PM

Why did they care about socks and hoop earrings?

cradle · 03-31-2007, 07:04 PM

Well actually, schools will fuss about the dumbest stuff ever, magg.

maggot · 03-31-2007, 07:32 PM

Well I can see things like short skirts and plunging neck-lines, but some things just seem ridiculous. o_o

They worried about the big hoop earrings because some of the girls a couple of years below me had some major issues and the principal didn't want girls walking around with hunks of ear missing...

As for the socks, well brightly coloured knee-high socks and mary-jane shoes became fashionable at the same time my school started cracking down on uniform. . . and yet I still managed to wear my black coats and odd socks without a detention

Fast talking does wonders.

I come from a very funky performing arts High-school, where every one is pretty open to every thing (the head of the Art department is a 6 foot 5, guy with tribal tats running up both arms and the back of his head, and 1 gage silver ear fangs) aswell as the majority of kids being what society would label as goth. It rules.

raggedyanne · 04-02-2007, 06:11 PM

that sounds awsome. Next year I'm going to this charter school where anything goes. I mean, you carry your laptop everywhere, the principal goes by his first name and acts as the bell system, and everyone is either goth/ punk/ hippie/ or stoner

maggot · 04-04-2007, 03:31 PM

1 gauge?

Did you mean 0 gauge?

He has a friend who makes jewelry, and he got them custom.

maggot · 04-21-2007, 06:05 AM

That's kinda cool.

Aaroneet · 05-03-2007, 12:23 PM

In my school, it is considered satanic to wear jeans. Enough said.

That's most certainly not enough said. What are you talking about?

HateMeImGothic · 05-08-2007, 10:18 AM

(I think they wear uniforms) So in a way he has said enough.

Aaroneet · 05-08-2007, 12:09 PM

I meant to say that in my school, it is forbidden to wear jeans and sneakers. While the faculty claims that they are being liberal for not instituting unifoms, they end up restricting every form of attire, save anything that resembles a uniform. At the rate that they are going, there should either be a more lenient dress code, or the faculty should resort to making school uniforms mandatory. Anything Goth-oriented is, needless to say, enough to get a suspension, and, metaphorically speaking, enough to get you crucified in the eyes of the faculty.

Can you wear a nice black skirt, black tights, and a black nice shirt? That could be pretty goth if you do it right, and that's uniformy.
Or you could wear black "slacks" and a button up pinstriped shirt or something. That could be gothy.

My school doesn't alow anything 'extreme' which actually means we have to dress in standard office work stuff. The art students can wear little less formal stuff but it's still too strict.

ashtraygirl · 05-14-2007, 01:26 PM

my highschool doesnt really have a dress code but i get bitched at whenever i wear my kill hannah hoodie. theres always some teacher that asks me why i want to kill hannah. >_<

Subphonic · 05-14-2007, 02:07 PM

My school had a rule, somthing like 'no unnatural hair colours' so some guy dyed his hair 50/50 black and white (Johny 5 or someone did it at the time) but still got pullled up. I used Henna to slowly turn my blond hair pink...or 'strawberry blond' as I called it!
