Goth transformation

Ok… this makes absolutely NO SENSE! You should like a MAJOR poser. That’s NOT what goth is all about AT ALL. Piercings are forms of body art and self expression… they don’t have ANYTHING to do with ANY stereotypes. Here are your REAL facts -

Depression and suicide has NOTHING to do with being goth OR any other stereotype. Depression is a MEDICAL CONDITION that should be treated by a doctor. Suicide is NOT a joking matter. It’s something that should be taken seriously NO MATTER WHAT.

Wearing black and red DOESN’T make you goth.

Being into drugs and alcohol has NOTHING to do with goths or other stereotypes. Drinking is a choice. LOTS of people do it. Drugs are NOT goth. Drug addictions are rather serious and if you DO have a drug problem, you should honestly get help for it. Don’t be afraid to do so, it’ll be for the better. There’s nothing to be embarrassed about or anything like that. No one is perfect. And as a matter of fact, some goths are STRAIGHT EDGE meaning they don’t drink, do drugs OR smoke even! True some smoke and or drink, but do you realize how many OTHER people on earth smoke and drink?! It’s not JUST the goths. And besides, that’s LEGAL as long as your of the legal age - 18 for smoking, 21 for drinking. Drugs are ILLEGAL and, as bad as it may sound, there are SEVERAL people on earth dealing with drug related issues. It’s not JUST goths or other stereotypes.

GOTHS ARE NOT F*CKING SATANISTS! Most goths believe in God and some even GO TO CHURCH. Worshipping Satan has NOTHING to do with being gothic.

There’s more to being a goth than listening to Goth metal, writing poetry, reading and drawing.

If you think you have to go by “certain rules” in order to be/look something, chances are your a poser. My advice to you is just be your TRUE self. Don’t worry about what others will say or think of you. Don’t change yourself for ANYONE. My moto is I’d rather be hated for being myself than loved for being someone I’m not

Now here are some tips for the asker of this question -

Don’t EVER change yourself for ANYONE. If they can’t accept you for who you are, they’re not a true person. True friends/lovers would be able to accept you for who you truly are.
