^it is really great. In april there is another big fair and then I am going there dressed up as an Elf as well. I will see a few LOTR actors there i hope, and there are so many goths, it is just unbelievable

I hate it when people label you without knowing who you are. I was walking to one of my friend's houses some time ago and a load of kids of about 13 yelled at me "hey, Goth, get a wash!". I happened to be wearing black that day, and it made me laugh so much.

I agree; just believe in yourself and be as you are, don't let <I>anyone</I> change you.

Oro, I agree with you..
No one has the right to change you, because the best thing that you can be is yourself. To stay and be yourself is very important

_________________

It's the one thing I'm very proud of about myself. I've never really changed. I've stood up to people like that. People who harass you and your so-called friends that say you have to be like them.
If I had a pound for every time someone I knew said that "it's just a phase"...well I'd be laughing all the way to the bank by now.
I've proven every single one of them wrong and I'm proud to say I'm still the same person I am on the inside as I've always been.

Almost 20 years now...I ain't about to change now.

Well I am just 14 and I am very much changed last year. But this is who I am and who I want to be and I am so proud of myself for being an alternative girl!!!

That's all you can be is proud of who you are. I think you are all awesome people. Rock on.

It is hard to be different from all the others, but I have a very good friend who isn't gothic or alto or something, and she is still my dearest friend, just because she knows that the clothes don't tell who you are...
Ann I love you!!!

When you first start to express yourself in this way, yes it can be very hard. You know in your heart this is who you are, and no-one can change that. I think that's great you have a good friend that accepts you for you.
That's all you ever truly need.

Yes that is totally true, and that is why I am so happy with my dear friend, she always says that however I will look like she will be my friend
!! That always makes me cry

Yeah people label me as a Goth...

Blech. Labels. I live in a really small town where everybody is labeled. If you wear a black shirt, you're goth, if you shop at abercromie, you're a prep. If I ever use a label I will just have to slap myself and promise never to do it again. Blech to stereotypes as well. I've been asked if I'm part of a cult and I'm like "*beep*?"

When I get really angry and fed up I'll just pound out songs on the piano or my guitar. It's really a great way to get it out.

I just felt like posting this because you're all so open minded and I really needed to get it out! AH!

Exactly.

Two of my best friends are Goth - although they aren't obsessed with blood and violence and stuff like that (penguins, sparklie/shiney things, and stars would be closer to the mark ).

I kind of like black, but I only own exactly 2 1/2 pieces of clothing that color I like silver, and more natural colors better
