Goths in school... - Page 11

Well then would it count as being naked if you have a bath robe on? I mean, technically, it is covering yourself....

dreamforthedead · 12-19-2005, 08:02 PM

Not if it 'accidently' fell off at the same time you were giving a presentation to your class. I can guarrantee you'd get full marks if that happened

My most stooooopid! moment in school was a rebelion against the piercing policy that went badly wrong. I wanted my nose pierced but was unsure of how it would look, so I bought a pair of magnetic ear studs and put one on either side of my nose and wore them to school. I got a few looks and some people even complimented e on my brave "piercing". I felt soooo hard core! untill in french I scratched my nose and knocked the outside part of the stud off, the magnetic bits inside my nostrils spun round and stuck together inside my nose, leaving the other out side part of the earing, not wanting to miss the fun, to shoot up my nose as well. This left me in the middle of french with 1 pair of earings stuck up my nose. I had to go to the nurse to get them out again. Did any one else have an experiance like this inthier earlier fumbleings with thier image. Or if you're just startig to fumble, please share your stories. Am I starting a thread?

Oh wow. That story made me laugh. My dad took one of those magnetic earrings and used it as a nose ring, just for a joke. It was kinda funny, especially because he's one of the last people who would get a nosering, I think. I was 6 at the time, so I laughed and disapproved. I used to try very hard to be normal when I was young.

Our highschool only banned the low necklines, exposed undies, exposed midriffs, muscle shirts, very short skirts/shorts, etc.

butterflyfearie · 12-20-2005, 10:12 AM

OK, I might have been living on the moon for a while, what the hell is a muscle shirt?

joyslayer · 12-20-2005, 02:22 PM

Not usuallt a tanktop, but it is generally a brightly colored shirt worn by guys that is like a second layer of skin. It show of muscles. They happen to be one of my fetishes. I would get very distracted if someone were to wear one at my school....

dreamforthedead · 12-20-2005, 04:08 PM

Cant blame you there

joyslayer · 12-20-2005, 05:58 PM

Yeah, especially when hot friends wear them......

She_Is_My_Sin · 01-19-2006, 01:41 PM

My school is quite relaxed about the whole goth look.I can wear make-up & nail polish & most teachers won't really mind.They are abit stricter on piercings.Occasionally I have to take out my nose stud when requested or when I go to assembley (it is a hassle though...it caused a big nosebleed once. However I got to miss information tech.) They aren't really that bothered with my boots or chokers/rings either.I did get told off for replacing my school jumper with a long black cardigan but nobody noticed for a while because the jumper was black too.

Needled · 01-19-2006, 03:27 PM

My school isn't strict in the least. I have 3 facial piercings, and noone says shit about it. I mean I'm sure they aren't exactly pleased with the way I present their school to visitors, but that's not anything I'm worried about. I wear make up and stuff.. clothes they don't care about. I mean the can't tell me to stop wearing certain clothes/colors and looking the way I want... If you're going to do that, talk to the sluts who come partially nude. Certainly not dressed for a learning environment.

And I found this kind of interesting, thought I'd go ahead and share.

I have 1st lunch period (there are 3) and none of my really close friends have it with me, so usually i just finish up homework and shit during lunch. Well one of my not so close friends starts a conversation with "Oh, you know that goth girl Melanie?" I was personally friends with this girl long enough to find that she.. well, she wasn't what I expected. I thought she was authentic, and that she would be someone I would have something in common with. Well, turns out she's just a loser wearing a good charlotte hoodie.

Anyhow, I speak to Christian on the issue. I tell him not to let Melanie fool him, and that she was certainly not 'goth'. Then someone else jumps into the conversation claiming that noone in our school is goth because "goths don't even come out in the sunlight". I didn't even get the chance to reprimand him, for I couldnt help but laugh.

See, these are the kind of imbeciles who DON'T deserve a withering remark, 'cause they're stupid enough to be harmelss and they also provide infinite comedy moments such as this. (Not to be confused with your common garden-variety imbecile, who absolutely deserves wrecking.)

Oh man, reading some what what you guys 'n' gals write, I think your all very lucky.

During my schools days we had to wear tweed and blaming blazers. Freshly pressed starch white shirts, charcoal grey trousers, not black and grand-dad shoes, not boots; shoes! Anything remotely outside the regulation was frown upon, detention and shit was the punishment they give out for non-comfirmers.

Hmm... I think I spent just about everyday in detention or being told or given lines about the school's rules. Looking back, I never one actually took homework home...

swt&inc angel?? · 01-19-2006, 03:55 PM

My school claims theres a dress code but most of the teachers wont say anything. Except they wont alow you yo wear a long gothic skirt if your a guy,and you can forget wearing anything saying your gay. A friend wore a shirt that said I like girls that like girls and they yelled at her. I can kinda understand that though.

epithet · 01-19-2006, 04:00 PM

During my History class the other day, we had a long discussion about freedom of expression in relation to dress codes. I was the example, which was vaguely amusing. I believe my teacher's exact words were, "See, Caelyn is one of the most interesting people I've met. She just chooses to wear black."

I don't see how wearing black detracts from my interesting...ness.

But anyway. Most of the dress code violations at my school come from people wearing too little clothing, as opposed to too much black/spikes/make-up.

Most of my issues come from the student body. I actually got sent to my counselor's office at the beginning of last year because the girls in my gym class were giving me so much crap about the way I dress. The counselor just asked if I wanted to switch classes. I said no, because it wouldn't have been any better.

There are stupid people everywhere. Sometimes, if you ignore them, they leave you alone.

joyslayer · 01-19-2006, 06:15 PM

And other times, if you run them over with a lawn mower, they go away too!

gothboy13 · 01-19-2006, 06:36 PM

What I do is ignore people who think I'm weird. It makes them feel stupid and I get the satisfaction of not wasting my breath. People shouldn't judge other people on the way you dress, its just too low, and most people judge people before they know you. I've learned that the hard way and that's not a good way.

joyslayer · 01-19-2006, 06:41 PM

Nope, the hard way kinda sucks dead aligator testacles. BUt what are you gonna do, no one writes out the lessons, learn from your mistakes I say, and don't eat pickles with a chocolate milkshake, not a good idea.

gothboy13 · 01-19-2006, 06:46 PM

Yeah, eating pickles and chocolate milk shake is quite nasty, I've tried it before. I have learned from my mistakes, and have become a better person because of it.

UltraNEO* · 01-19-2006, 06:47 PM

Unless your pregnant and you've got those strange cravings.... what is it now, pickles'n'icecream? But i wouldn't know, only every seen this happen to other people on tv.

[edit] darn... gothboy, you beat me to the reply.

gothboy13 · 01-19-2006, 06:49 PM

I seen it on t.v. so i figured I'd try it and i regret it dearfully.

joyslayer · 01-19-2006, 07:54 PM

I tried it, simply, because I was brain dead at the time. Baaaaad thing to do when you can't tell a duck from a worm.

ROFL...
Wish i could of seen the expression on your face.

epithet · 01-20-2006, 03:44 AM

I bet there would be a market for pickle-flavored milkshakes. Mostly among pregnant women, of course.

Blushing Heliophobe · 01-20-2006, 04:25 AM

I loved 'em seperately, but not together! Eeeww...

cannibalnuns · 01-20-2006, 04:41 AM

Goths in highschool..... I do not give a shit, I have passed that point in my life. All I can say is be yourself. However be careful. That is one reason I hate things a s such. But hey to whoever this appeals to. Just do thebare minimum and even better than that. Don't let pricks push you down. God I need sleep.
