my mommy likes to wear my staightjacket to work.
but she yells at me because of the very very very heavy amount of makeup i wear. and she listens to my music and sings along with me (except for the screaming parts. thats my job.)

WOW. Lucky. eek

thank you. (if that is an adequate response)

My Parents don't care either way, they've always let me do what i want as long as i look at more than one veiw of any particular subject. I think it's because my mom's a non-church going christian, and my dad's Alexandrian wiccan, a recovering catholic which is why he chose alexandrian. they could care less, as long as i dont let my little sister listen to too much of hte massive amounts of metal i listen to. She likes some of it which is nice. my mom is the one i can talk to about stuff, she's more open minded than my father, a right winged conservative Wiccan, which i find extremly contridictory. but he's military so *shrugs*. my parents like my long hair and they dont yell at me when i buy things like resin skulls, so i guess im lucky.

my mum's been weird....at first she was screaming at me that i should be burnt at the stake then she found some of the sites i was look at (tip if you share a computer try to cover your tracks sweatdrop ) and she said "its important to experament but id much rather you were christian"

me = confused

My parents never minded. My mother is a seamstress, and she loves costume dramas. My path to gothdom started with a reenactment society, and I wear a lot of Victorian or pseudo-Mediaeval stuff, so the clothing really intrigued her. It got to the point where we'd sit down together and sketch out ideas, or go on little spending binges at the fabric store. She does sometimes laugh at my makeup, though.

My father doesn't care if I'm 'goth,' as long as it doesn't hinder me from making something of myself. In fact, since I'm aiming for an artistic profession, he thinks it's probably useful for me to look unusual. It helps that I never wanted tattoos or piercings, though. He doesn't like that sort of thing, and I think it would have made him go buggo.

I guess my mom's used to it now, she still hates it now, she sometimes says I'm 'going to far', I don't think I am... My mom like some of the music I listen to, not all of it though, Maybe she's not all that pissed because I passed on spray painting her car, and running it into the lake, O.o ...  

[themagikat]

hah, yeah, demolition of cars does tend to make some people angry for some reason

my father doesn't know because he only sees me once every 10 months now.. and my mom is rarely home engh to notice... so no they don't know... hell... they don't even know my favorite color let alone what i would be steriotyped as or the crud i do on a regular basses....

My parents think that it's a phase that every teenager goes through rolleyes . They don't understand and don't want to.

wow i guess ive got the easiest life outta all of you. I started getting goth in my Frosh year of Highschool at my first highschool. after sophomore year i had to move to my dad's house where there are absolutely no goths and very few punk or semi-goth people, so I had to tone it down a bit. I had to stop wering all the good black stuff and settle for dark blue and sometimes white -_-'. Ok, so now I'm in my senior year and about to graduate (one more week ^_^) and I'm starting to shift myself back to my old goth self. I went and got myself one of those long a** trenchcoats from Hot Topic, a few studded items, and my long lost Converse All-Stars. So basically I'm almost back to bein full goth, but i dont think i'll be doin eyeliner until i go to college where the parentals cant have a say >:^)

My mom was always cool about my gothism, and even encouraged me to find my own way around religion. Naturally, I leaned to the occult at first, but then realized that and organized religion restricts from the possibility of being truly spiritual with onesself and the universe, because organized religion tells you how the world is, gives you all the rules, and afferms the actions of itself and its followers. If spiritual equilibrium is found through onesself, it is entirely more personal and fulfilling, while more difficult.

I still pick debating battles with the preps and the Watchtower people i come across, but to me it's all fun and games.

The depression and insecurities I still deal with all stem from back when i was in 1st and 2nd grade. I was the kid always getting picked on and made fun of and alienated, and I was scarred from it. It's caused alot of familial rifts and depression, but I'm starting to find my way through the worst of it. Although I've always been close to my mom, I've never felt truly connected to the rest of my family, which is saying alot since My dad's side is all Jewish (very into keeping a tight family). My mom never really talkes about her side of the family and nobody ever calls or visits for holidays so for the last 18 years its been as if they dont even exist for me.

Well anyhoo... I think that was just about as much as i cn put down at the moment.... PM me if you feel like testing your philisophical skills against mine biggrin

my parents dont really care but they dont like the music clothes and such

it can get annoying to have parents unnacepting of their offspring's tastes.

i used to have to hide my sketchbook(s) from them since they think my art is "weird" (surrealism to them is not art, that and my mom wants me to be some divine scientist with the cure for cancer or aids)

I hate it when parents force their religion on their kids -_-'

Surrealism can be fun at times. ^_^ Too bad that it's an underappreicated artform. Of course then again my surrealism can get rather odd in a hurry, but that is what happens when bordom sets in during school and you have pen and paper handy...  

[Pyroball]

thats when I do my best art!
