I’m glad that you are so open about your choices, and at such a young age you know what you like. I work in 6th, 7th and 8th grade classrooms, but when I was a teen, I too was into goth. Let me say first that there is nothing wrong with you, and that your parents are just concerned about your well-being. They may not understand why you like goth; tell them why you like it. Does it fit with your mood? Does it help you fit in with your friends? Do you have a dark side that your parents don’t understand? Think about it. If you discuss it with your parents, you may want to bring up how a gothic lifestyle helps you. Do you draw gothic art, or write poetry about your problems? Showing these to your parents may help them understand that goth is good for you. Worse comes to worse, show them this reply. I was once a goth teen, but now I’m in graduate school on a scholarship that pays me $30,000 a year to go to school and help kids your age learn science. Being goth doesn’t mean you’ll end up a loser; quite the opposite. Many of the goth kids I knew in high school are now writers, poets, grad students, and other accomplished individuals. I also work with a PhD student who still dresses and acts goth!
