signs your child is a goth...

12 of these apply for me, and I'm not nearly a goth. But I really think this is a joke, I mean "Pursues dangerous cult religions. Such include: Satanism, Scientology, Philosophy, Paganism, Wicca, Hinduism and Buddhism."?! Philosophy is a dangerous cult religion? And Buddahism? And what about "Shows a declining interest in wholesome activities, such as: the Bible." Who enjoys the bible, prayer and church? Was Tom Sawyer a goth? "Complains of boredom" applies to every teenager. "Drinks alcohol" applies to just about everybody.

 

Damn that Count Chocula! He's corrupting our youth!

 

According to the handout, if they only get 4 points including the last one, does this mean they really aren't a goth?
Wish I could write stuff this funny.

 

Goth appears as a funny fad, but the 'medium is the message'.


Fashion appearences are never coincidental.
It's body art.
It doesn't drape us, it exposes us.

Think of the 'neutered limp phallic symbol'.
The ubiquitous symbol of every civilized-man.
The symbol that we hang around our necks.
Morning, Noon, and Night.

No mere coincidence, that!

Likewise,

Goth refuses to hide the 'death-drive funeral-march of civilization', but is compelled to wear it in public.

Compelled to bare witness, and publically mourn.

Goth mourns the death-fear that shriveled the sex of civilization.

Mourns the little homo-erotic sado-masochisms of our competitive life.

Mourns the clueless parents who can drop children like ignorant pups into the dog-eat-dog pack of civilization.

Personally, I think the Goth Kids are an under-statement!!!

 

I have 23 of those.

 

What a laugh!

I feel sorry for any children who's parent's took that seriously...

 

Haha....OMG

 

Is Vice Pres. Cheney on his way to becoming a Goth?

Don't know if he eats Count Chocula for breakfast, but
-He dances funny
-Wears dark clothing
-Watches Cable TV or other corrupted entertainment sources
-Associates with other people that dress, act or speak eccentrically.

However this one relates more to Micheal Jackson:
-Insists on spending time with friends while unaccompanied by an adult.

 

That one is a hoot. What normal teenager wants an adult around when hanging with their friends? And I would pity any teen having to live this restricted!

 

:X I get the feeling we've all been branded goths with this one OMG.

Where's my bloody mary

 

this is a fucking joke.
i can't believe they actually write stuff like that, not only is it offensive it's pathetic. You don't have to be goth to have 5 off that list anyway.

I would laugh...but I'm actually quite concerned for the mental health of the people who wrote that.....

 

oh dear, out of the first 6, 5 apply to me.

i must go buy some count chocula, if they sell it here...

 

My gothness rank is 23, at least. Which makes me more than four and a half goth! ^_^

So I guess that I should just vomit black blood on people like those that make up lists of that, sodomise them with a crucifix, and ritually slaughter them in an occult pagan ritual In the name of Satan Almighty!

 

id rather worship satan than god, just to piss off the people who made that.

 

I wear black, I wear band t-shirts, I wear dark makeup, I associate with people who act that way, I can never sleep at night, I'm "excessively awake" during the night (I have insomnia, so sue me!), I speak out when I'm bored, and I like to be alone...
Oh yeah, I'm such a dangerous satanic Mormon kid! Jeez... Yes, everyone who wears black is some depressed self-harming Gothic person...Whatever.

 

it is quite clear that anyone who isnt completely religious like them is a goth.

im sure the goths would be very, whatever the opposite of amused is

jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez

 

They claim to be doing the work of God, but they are just full of hatred. peace will never come until these people grow up. they are going straight to hell fo hating people that are different than them.

 

Ohh I just went through and counted, I have 20 out of 36, and I'm a hick. Though I suppose this doesn't really apply to me since it is signs that some teenager is a goth.

 

So I raised Hippie kids, in a heathen enviroment (not really heathen, but it was according to them) and my kids say NO to stupid drugs, don't go around telling people they are "Vampyres" and never have gotten arrested for smoking pot in plain view at school. Hmm, my "heathen hippie" kids were raised to think for themselves, their kids were raised NOT to think at all, and it just made them MORE prone to bad "influences."
These people, their tactics don't work.[/QUOTE]
YES!!! As the mom of 3 awesome, fantastic people, a 20 year old daughter, a 17 year old son and a 14 year old daughter, i agree with you 100%!!!
Children need 3 basic things: self esteem, respect and love. . Mine are living proof this philosophy works. I laugh at parents who think they can *control* their teenagers. If they haven't instilled a strong sense of self-respect and spiritual awareness ie. the Golden Rule, kindness, enthusiasm and a trust in the wonder and delight of life, etc...in their child by the time they are 3 to 5 years old, they have failed miserably. By the time a child is 10 or 11 years old, their psyche is fully formed and shaped by everything a parent has fed it.....And the influence for positivity is over...No amount of *control* can fix a fundamentally unhappy child...& an unhappy child is self-destructive. Self-respect is the key...self love, self awareness and as my sister above says, the ability to Think FOR Yourself. I also firmly believe that we each have a right to explore all aspects of our spiritual path and it is our responsibility as parents to know what spiritual path our individual kids are walking....they have a right to walk it....to learn their own lessons, in their own way....this understanding is available, but parents have to seek out esoteric information...it is available. i could go on about what i know about raising great kids, but i don't have hours right now! Yay for us awesome Moms!!!

 

i also agree with the other posters, and have to say i must be a goth too! and i taught my kids to question authority and am proud of it! Yay for cool Moms!
