I had to smile when I read this. I loved Goth in the ’80s. My friends would wear a white base on their faces, and look dead, dye their hair black and wear black clothes. Did my parents like it? No. But it was how I constantly felt about the pressure that one goes through when you are a kid – it’s probably the hardest time in your life. But that is a ritual of entering adulthood – defining yourself in a way that may differ from your parents. You are becoming independent, and that style of dress is much more original than the A&F and Gap clones that your mom probably wants you to be. So, welcome to adulthood! But part of becoming an adult is understanding where the other person is coming from. You mom sees your dress and behavior as a reflection of her, and wants people to look at her as a good parent. Your mom needs to understand that Goth is about thinking, clothes and music that is closer to Halloween than devil worship, and that it somewhat rejects peer pressure of brands and conformity. Once you understand each other, you may be able to work toward some kind of compromise that will make you both happy. And that is part of growing up.
