Goth, Freak Or Something
for all my life i've been this goody 2 shoe prep and i am sick of it. i never had a mean personality that is usually related to preps though i dressed like one and most of the time tried to be one... i started to hate it cause i felt that i wan't to be myselfe and it pretty much got me depreessed and realy sad...
now i dress and act like how i want to, but i also feel that sometimes i am being a bit preppy and not myselfe.
so my main question is: how do i become a goth or a freak, cause i am realy sick of being myselfe and need a change and i want to be a freak or goth.
help me.

Re: Goth, Freak Or Something
once a prep, always a prep.
goths/punks and all 'freaks' in general are born, not made. and no matter what you act/dress like you will never have the mindset of what you so close-mindedly call a 'freak'

Re: Goth, Freak Or Something
I never really got along with the preps. I'd dress kinda baggy shirted and just jeans, but that was only because I thought I was fat and I didn't want anyone to see my disgusting fat. I'd have a couple talk to me, but I don't have any clue on what was wrong with my personality to make them not talk to me anymore. After that, I just shrugged it off since they'd sit there and whisper things about me and I've been found to be paranoid around them since. (Thinking back on elementary) but now I'm fine with my body and think NO such thing. Now I dress in how I want to. I don't know what you wanna consider it as, but goth/freak (Freak? That's okay, but it's kinda disturbing to call it that in a way). DRESS how you want. Yes, if you're UNcomfortable with how you are, then do whatever you want with dressing because no one can do anything about that, but...prep? Is there ACTUALLY a certain way to be a prep? There could be the nicest prep in the world...to accept and such. You can be a druggy and a prep (seen ones do it to be cool, ANYone could tell it) but be what you want. To think that goths (I'm gonna leave "freak" outta it) may have a mean attitude or whatever, I've known one of the sweetest girls to be punkish/goth and (Maybe she let in one punch to an extremely annoying, as you call "prep") but she's sweet, and you don't just change it for your attitude or because you wanna "look" tough (Which isn't what all of them are) Don't just assume though. Dress how you FEEL comfortable dressing. So fashion's just a big bunch of bull to me. Don't look good in what others would see you as, because they'd still see you as the same ol' you if they just look inside you.

Re: Goth, Freak Or Something
I donno. I think maybe that's just assuming, but yeah. Dress in what you want. Goths are to themselves, like preps are to THEMselves. I dress in...actually, I don't know what anyone would consider me. Everyone's got their own personality so I wouldn't really say goths are like that. Like me saying preps are stuck up rats that like to think they're better than everyone, even the people that hang out with them, but they're not all like that. *shrugs*

Re: Goth, Freak Or Something
i know that it is super shallow, and i know that it matters who i am inside and not how i look, and i also know that labeling sux but it is also a part of out lifes.
but i just feel that i must change and i want to be a goth or something.. i feel that i am drown to that...
i dunno.
n/m.. ignore me...
btw, where i live, "freak" is a sort of labeling, not a bad thing.

Hurray! More pseudo-goth kids! Just what the world needs.
I'm actually being mildly serious. They provide much amusement.

I agree.
Edit* You don't know what real "Gothic" is. So please, child, spare me. Spare this forum. You're no better than those "Good Charlotte Punks" GET A LIFE. * I know I might get warned for saying that but it had to be said.. the last part. Yep.*

Freak where I live, (I don't know if anyone else thinks so) but in my family, I'm the only one that thinks "freak" is a good lable. (Letting out another:) "Hell," I call myself a freak all the time because it's one of those things about me that makes it really fun to get other family members weirded out. I just meant that it might insult some people so pretty much that. Sometimes, I think I should be more specific. (I think that's why my posts come out as long now)

Re: Goth, Freak Or Something
umm..dont be a poser. It is cool to be yourself. Just don't dress like a freak or goth. I hate labels. And don't be like Avril Lavigne and be fashion-core. Avril sucks...she is poser. Another thing...if you have a hot topic where ever you live....don't shop there and cal urself punk/freak/goth. That is a BIG poser.
I fell asleep with a thought in my head, woke surprised that I wasn't dead
I wish there was some place that i could go,
something i could do that would take my mind off of you

Poser's starting to become a label now. I guess everyone's a poser because everyone dresses in what they like to wear and the stores are open for people that like the stuff. I agree with you imahopeless if you're trying to say people wanna call themselves a punk/goth/freak while shopping there thinking that must be a place for everything "punk, goth, or freak" but, all in all, just a place to shop for things you like. Not to be cool. (Sorry didn't make sense)

Double agreed. Not only real goths, but people sick of seeing others not be themselves.

Re: Goth, Freak Or Something
If you try to "make" yourself something you're not, then you're going to get harrassed my the true goths and "freaks" and you'll be called a poser. Just a warning. No one will appriciate or respect you if you try to be a "goth" just because your bubblegum pop lost it's flavor. I seriously recomend you reconsidering. Be YOU. Don't be a steryotype and don't try to "fit" into a group. Because if you do you're just plain typical.
