If people are going to pick on you they will anyway...... If you know who you are and are not afraid to be different, then show it and if they don't like it then tough. It's better to be picked on for standing out rather than hiding in the shadows. Does it really matter what people dress like and look like.... surely it's the person within that counts? Obviously people are scared to get to know people that look different.......sign of the times that we live in.
No.. its easier to get to know a goth =. its the weird goths that get picked on that go to school with big bags on with spikes and chains hanging of them. Most goths are thick if they knew what was good for them they would be a goth in there own time instead of showing it off. Saying there going to poo in your mouth doesnt help them either
