Nope. There's metal detectors though so you can't bring anything metal of the sort unless it's safe lmao.

All during high school, I got away with dressing "Goth" by dressing well.

Unless there is something in the dress code against it, very few people can argue against a button down shirt, slacks, and a tie, despite how many patches or spikes I decided to put in.

^ How can a school stop a student from listening to Goth Rock?

mystiquity · 08-25-2009, 07:23 AM

Even though my school has a uniform (as I live in the UK) we can customize it slightly.
LUCKILY though, my school colours are blacks and red: Black Trousers or Skirt, Black or White Shirt, Red Tie, Any Black Shoes, Black or Red Tights for the Girls & A Black Blazer.
We are allowed up to TWO piercings in each ear.
Up to TWO necklaces,
NO Rings,
Up to THREE bracelets.
Nail Polish can ONLY be in the school colours which is fine by most of us (being black and red)
The only real restriction is the AMOUNT of make-up we can wear: Not too much eyeliner/eyeshadow/lipstick/gloss.
Our school bags have NO restrictions and there can be as many spikes on them as we want.

Other than the eyeliner restriction my school is ALMOST COMPLETELY a Goth school!!

When I went to school, they made me get rid of my mesh shirt. I'm sure it was because they didn't want to see a skeleton. They said it was okay at the start of the year and then changed their minds saying "We can see your nipples." meanwhile they let jack-offs wear muscle shirts. I saw more wrong with other people than just my nipples. so I taped X's on them. they couldn't say anything else except, get rid of the shirt, or you'll be sent home and have a mark on my record for disobedience. What a douche-bag that principal was. Ragging on me because I always hanged around in plain sight of everyone. (Entrance to the school)

I'm the only goth at my school, so when I started dressing 'gothic', some thought I was trying to get attention. Some thought that I was slipping back into depression. Haha.
They really don't do much 'to stop me'. The headmaster is actually really against conformity and sometimes I am used as an example as 'the non-conformist'. It bugs me sometimes.

Wearing a mesh shirt with nothing on top or underneath is COMPLETELY inappropriate.

Agreed, if someone had done that at my school the principle would have given you a lovely trash bag to wear for the rest of the day.

I_Zik · 09-17-2009, 08:47 PM

In retrospect, the shirt wasn't appropriate Underwater Ophelia, mostly it was for an example.
What really pissed me off was their supposed ban on things like spikes, bracelets, and other things of that nature, and I kept seeing it all over the school when the staff would single me out and personally deliver their distaste for what I was wearing. Besides the shirt, which is long ago ripped and shredded by use, I was wearing stuff that a large number of people were wearing too. I asked one of the staff why they weren't enforcing these rules on everyone else with the same passion they were doing for me, and they couldn't give a straight answer. That's what pissed me more off than anything.

Ko Pilot · 09-18-2009, 12:52 PM

Yeah I remember I wore a soft, pliable spiked bracelet once in middle school, and a teacher (that I'm convinced hated me anyways) threatened to confiscate it because it had spikes.

Also, getting picked on by various members of the administration because I wore black was awesome.

Still Jack · 09-18-2009, 01:40 PM

Man, they took away my brass knuckles when I got into secondary school, do I get to be pissed off now???

Yes you do. You should get them back. Everything they confiscate you can usually get back at the end of the year. They should also confiscate hands too. Hands are probably the most dangerous items any school student could have. They can make shivs, bombs, garrote wires, knives, hold/make guns, and even a zombie-assault like vehicles to plow through the masses of student bodies. There's no end to what kinds of destruction can be had at the hands of...hands.

Still Jack · 09-20-2009, 01:13 PM

I was actually being sarcastic. I find it entirely justified that they took away my brass knuckles. Even though, I could probably do a lot more damage with normal household objects...

I know. We all can. I was just trying (horribly) to be funny and informative. I know you probably already knew that kind of thing. Did it work everyone else?

"Shut the fuck up and leave before I stab you in the eye with a pencil."
"Jeez dude, calm down. already"
"I AM CALM!!!!!"

blindNsect · 10-16-2009, 10:11 AM

My High School wouldn't let males wear lipstick or nail polish b/c it was "disruptive."

SweetJane · 10-16-2009, 10:51 AM

Besides my hair always bieng a funny color and wearing a lot of black and local punk band patches, I didn't dress that wierd when I was in school because I didn't give a shit and I was usually hung over from the weekend or a tiny bit stoned because I had "early bird" PE so I could fit all of my art classes in. Three days a week they made us wear these heart-rate moniters to make sure were were getting cardiovascular exercise for a certain ammount of time, but my friend figured out we could tap the sensors at a certain rate, so we'd get baked at our friend's trailer before going to class.

Angelickid · 10-16-2009, 11:51 AM

School's here in Dubai are not so great !!!

Although we have to wear a uniform like all other schools. We're not allowed to have facial piercings but some school's did allow!!

Do not color ur hair.. No nail polish .. no ornaments .. no makeup .. no this and thats ....

If you were found with one of the above mentioned then the next thing u wld find ur self at the PRINCIPAL 's room standin to hear his or her lecture!!!

SweetJane · 10-16-2009, 11:53 AM

NO ornaments? Your school cancelled Christmass AND English classes? Of course, us Americans just put 'em on trees...

That's not so unusual. Those were the rules at my school in Scotland. We were not even allowed to wear earrings, except for a single pair of studs and even then only for the first 6 weeks whilst the piercings were healing.

darkGoddess95 · 10-27-2009, 01:42 AM

goth is cool and scary. I am into the solid silver gothic jewelry.But my school doesnot allow me to wear, so I wear them off school.

carakitty · 10-27-2009, 11:35 PM

Wow, it sounds like so many schools have become so tight-assed about dress codes. When I went to a private Catholic High School we were allowed to wear jewelry + make up for girls (with certain guidelines set of course), could wear normal shirts under our uniform shirts as long as they didn't poke out, and had pretty fair standards for shoes (and tights if we wanted to wear them)

I'm interested to see what my schools code is going to be like when I go back in Jan. I know for certain we need to wear scrubs but beyond that I"m in the dark.

Mourning Would · 10-28-2009, 01:31 PM

My school is very much a Catholic school, our make up must be descreet, we can't have un-natural hair colours (eg: purple, green, pink, etc, etc...). We can't wear much jewlery. One pair of stud earings, no facial peircings, no visible tatoos, no mad hair styles (WHY?!!!! I LOVE MY MAD HAIR STYLES!!!), and if anyone breaks the rules Sister Concepta (who is pure evil, everyone hates her) takes them into her office and gives them a months worth detention and sends them home, or makes them wash off the make up or take out the peircings.

AshiesHubby · 11-06-2009, 12:26 PM

My school is cool about it, I do not wear goth clothes though. No make up or piercing, and my jeans are loose and don't ride my crotch, and I wear a t-shirt and hoodie

TheHandThatFeeds · 11-06-2009, 03:42 PM

I love my school on that part... The let us wear what ever the heck we want. Eventhough I'm the only goth there, or at the moment my style is more industrial I guess. Some of my teachers even tries to get me to wear a fishnet shirt... <.<
