Goth prevention

My sister is becoming a goth, how do I get her to stop?

It's just a phase lol... she'll grow out of it... eventually

you only become goth if something horribly happend to you so ask her whats wrong ok tryto help don't try to change her may be she was bullyed raped or something make her feel better the more you try to change her the harder it wll be so try to help her not change her

whats wrong with being goth??
just let her be what she wants dude

That's one theory, hyuyhybhyvbvbbvbgh, but most people get into it these days because they think the clothes are cool, they like the color black, and they think they can be more of an individual by being part of a subculture (ironic, I know).

systembreakr, unless she's hurting herself, I don't see any reason why she can't be a goth. Most people grow out of it when they become adults, or some adults still keep a bit of goth in them alive once in awhile by wearing gothic jewelery and stuff.

who cares what type of clothes she wears or what type of music she listens to?

her social life is going to be crap! around my parts, if you are not a sports player, you are basicly dead. im just trying to save her from highschool, which she will be in next year. if she goes into school like that. her life will be FUGGED! people around these parts are horrible.

You can't control her life dude. The best you can do is to talk to her about it. Tell her how you think her lifestyle will affect her in school etc. In the end though, it's her choice.

like seriously just leave her alone I mean if she wants to its her choice you can't control her. If you try why would she listen to you telling her not to be herself I hate people telling any what to be and what not its not good it feels like your asking her to not to be herself and to suffer being somethings shed obviously not into and her social life won't crash its her life I think she's old enough to make her own decisions

but its not herself. she is only doing it because her friends are. HER FAVORITE COLOUR IS PINK FOR CHRIST SAKE! but she is pushing it aside because she wants to be like her HObag friends!

dude I understand what your saying but you can't do much about it shell be her and eventually it'll fade I guess just I don't know I say leave her alone but meh doesn't matter what I say your going to do what you want

just let her be herself... if her favorite color is pink and she wants to be goth so waht?

jeez why are you so against goths. theyre normal people. GOTHS ARE HUMAN BEINGS! its just a fashion. some people are os shallow and think when someone dresses dark, it means theyre depressed but theyre not! thats stereotyping. I mean why dont you want her to be goth
embarrassment?
you think she may be depressed?
you think goths are discusting?
what?
your sister is going through a phase and you may soon enough as well so leave her alone!

so...im not sporty at all im not wwat you call a socialite or whatever its called! does she have to hang around your parts? there are many different tribes at school. she doesnt have to hang around the same tribe of people. she will find her own. uhhh yeah like there are such thing as goths that wear neons (cyber goths and glitter goths) and tartan is very popular and that comes in all colours, you dont need to lovv the colour black to be goth you can like whatever colour you want!

so you're trying to convert her into a mindless drone because you want to spare her from high school?
well high school will end, and if you do manage to convert her into a mindless drone then what?
Leave her alone, she has to figure this out on her own... you can talk to her about being her own person and not listening to her friends, but you cant change her...
If you try, then she wont have anyone to turn to when she realizes she messed up and doesnt want to be like her friends after all...
Just give her space and be supportive...

HAHAHA are you freaking kidding me? me? a phase? I dont think so, I got a great loife, im captain of the football team, homecoming king 3 years running, I got a great girlfriend, I got a great job. im the happiest person in the world. I even have a full ride scholership to OSU for football.

my sister on the other hand is not depressed, she is just as happy as I am. but when she goes to highschool, everyone will treat her like SHYT. im worried about her BCOMEING depressed because everyone treats her like a freak. because thats what goths are, they are freaks. and say what you want, im "a stupid jock" im "stereotypical" if you guys knew how rough my highschool is on people who dont fit in. you would be worried too. I have seen people get emotionaly f'd up because how people treat them, I have seen nasty tricks done to them.

If I was in your situation, I'd encourage her to wear different stuff be like 'why dont you wear this yellow top in stead of that black out, because the yellow one looks way prettyer" orr something,
hrm I ono,
goood luck tho.

Well, first of all let her be, otherwise she WILL reset you for the rest of her life, and if you label her, shell get more into it, so just ignore it.

Yeah you are a stereotypical jerk (no I didnt mistake the spelling), so you buy into the b.s. that people who dress differently are freaks and you're probably friends with the people who will treat your sister badly... you know what, grow up! you're just scared of your own image and reputation being tarnished! so she wants to wear different clothes, maybe she'll change her mind and maybe she wont, that isnt your decision to make

"goths are freaks"...seriosly.. what the hell makes you think like that
anyone can be a freak, hell were ALL freaks sometimes
nothing is normal,
phase or not, its just a sterotype...just another way for soemone to express themselves
most goths would think jocks are freaks
all because no one really bothers to accept all these stupid labels for what they are...labels
people have the right to express themselves and there individuality
they have just as much right as you do
and no, people can get emotionall f*cked up no matter what lable they call themself
its just part of being human
im sure you get dep[ressed too, everyones does
being in a lable doesnt make you any more or any less depressed
because feelings arnt part of labels
if your worryied about her tell her to stand up for herself
tell her to forget about the as*holes who call her freaks
tell her that name calling from mindless people should affect her or her self esteem
tell her to be proud of who she is

phase
my friend went through it but shes's kinda old for it
kinda creepy

It isnt creepy, and it doesnt make her a freak for gods sake, let her do what she wants, its her life.
