Okay so I'm goth right. And I get a bunch of people implying that I do witchcraft and it makes me angry. If I was as capable as they say, I would have killed/hurt most of these people. They make fun of me and all that but come on goths! Gimme something snappy to say to 'em!

To the guys - "You think it's small now? Better watch out.. twisted "
If you want to play along with it, that is.
I find that the more frustrated you get at people for making fun of you, the more they do it.
Soo, I just try and play along with or ignore what they say..
Not all goths are into witchcraft and all that stuff.
That's why I hate people who stereotype others.

My boss used to do crap like this to me. I was reading Wicked and she starts poking fun at me saying I'm into witchcraft. I didn't mind at first but I let her know it bothered me, more then just a bit. She cept doing this.... One day I looked her in the face and told her "I would rather be a Witch then a b***h like you!", This started the, I'm only joking part. We all know this part, when you finally confront them seriously and they pretend like you were in on this joke the hole time when really you just wanna rip there face off. So I cut her off talk2hand and started to tell her that if she didn't stop she would have a harassment complaint on herself because I was sick of it.
She didn't talk to me for like 4 weeks and then she started to talk to me. More politely this time.

Well you could always go with the "I don't know any, but I'll learn just for you...." and watch them squirm a bit. Personally I didn't have much of a problem with being called a witch since I am pagan, so I do practice magic to a certain extend rather frequently. However, depending on where your beliefs may lie might really effect how you would choose to aproach a topic like that for youself. Sadly you can only really educate the people who want to learn. Most other people just don't listen and buy into the whole sterotyping.

You could tell them you cast a spell on them.
Then when they say "Oh yeah well nothing happened" you can say "I know, ya know why? Coz I'm not a witch you ******** douche bag."

yeah i know what you mean... i just moved to this new little town in oklahoma and the ppl here think that i am some blood sucking devil worshiper that will destroy them...and not only that but before i moved that is what i got too... i have been told to change my style( black,red,rainbow suspenders, saftey pins, whatever else i can get ahold of) because it is not right to give ppl that impression of me. i don't care what ppl think of me and if they want to judge me then let them..it is not my problem that they hate me...for i am not to fond of people myself

I got that kind of guff a lot. Just tell them, with a varying degree of politeness, depending on the consequences of pissing said people off, where they can shove their stereotypes. I've taken a lot of heat over choices I've made in the past, such as jewelery, makeup, my conversion to Wicca, etc. Each time I've told tormentors and bigots what to do with their hate.

OR you *could* learn how to necromance and have dead people chase them down. That would be funny. No, seriously. When I was in school people did that to me, because I wore black and carried black books that did not have the title on the cover, (darn book covers get annoying when reading.) I let them say what they wanted. I was not a devil worshipper but they gave me power, they wanted to be afraid of me. So I let them have their little fear to help them live... thats all it is. They need someone to point the finger at. I'll happily be the scapegoat, have nothing better to do anyways.

Lower your head at them followed by a "death stare" and mutter some words under your breath. Works every time 3nodding . If all else fails, either simply play along, or explain to them in a calm and firm, yet polite manner that you do not practice witchcraft.

Build a good arguement. Such as pointing out that most earth religions do not believe in "satan", they believe in a god of death/the underworld who may or may not be evil, just like any other person. (that takes care of the people who call you a devil worshipper).
Now, for the anti-magik people.........Just offer them some concentrated Wormwood and tell them that it's an aphrodisiac.......and them you can laugh when they get the runs and when they tell you that you lied to them, tell them that's what they get for listening to someone that they ASSUME pratices withcraft.
