Lost Goth

I used to be a "Goth" in my younger years, but after having a family (which i love dearly) i am losing my "Goth" lifestyle. its so hard walking into the school dressed in elegant black dresses or old-school glam-punk. you get looked down upon by the other mums. i've found myself buying the latest catalogue fashions. what can i do to keep myself true to who i am without getting judged?

You shouldn't be letting what those other mums think get to you

If that's the way that you want to dress, that's your business and not theirs, you shouldn't have to dress like them because you feel you're being looked down on.

Be yourself

Why bother what people think of the way your dressed

Yeah I agree be yourself it's good to be different makes you unique

Other mums are always going to be looking down on you, it's what they do.

They're spiteful, vapid women with cars that use far too much petrol and can
hold far too many children.

My advice? Shove it in their faces. Be who you are.
Give your hair pink streaks and put it in a mohawk.
Scare the daylights out of their kids with excessive make up.

Everything which being a goth is coming into play now darling, you're really
standing out from the crowd

there's always gonna be some people that judge you on your appearance, maybe just go with a bit of a toned down version to start with, so you can feel confident in school, which is really important.

i wish my mum would have been a goth when i was younger
i would have loved it

I know this is an old thread but I just wanted to say something anyhows.

I have had quite a few odd looks at my sons school. I am certainly not in the "coffee morning" circle of mums at the gate either, but to be honest i don't give a monkeys bottom. I tend to jjust dress in cloaths I like, and sometimes, they can be a bit odd lol but if thats what I am happy in then siod what other people think. And if any of them want to look down on me becasue I have a few tattoos and a few bits of metal in my face, I couldn't really care. I like how I am and i am not planning on changing.

My ponit is, that you shouldn't change wht you where to suit the pther mums. just make sure you be yourself and be happy

You shud warez wat U Loikz, I get sum funny looks at toimes, But then I am dressed loik a Pirate, and am Curently 70 moiles From the sea, Land locked dont u know, But still, im in the market, and shall be comandearing a Ship of sum description Forth with.

my mum and auntie where considered goths during eighties and i have followed in their foot steps 2 dacades later i might stick a picture up if i get a chance to scan one in

I would not worry about what other people think, will your husband support you if so i don't see what your confused about
