i got beaten up by chavs once in Hampstead,London...

They started hitting my friends for no reason (who aren't goth), so i got aLL my friends away and they ran into a shop...

Then i faced them and said we didn't want any hassLe and began to run to the shop as weLL...Two of the chavs were on bikes though, so they caught up and started circLing me...They started beating me up and then threw me into the road...

They thought that i was a guy...That's why they stopped beating me up and didn't steaL anything...

They thought i was a goth boy, and that's why they started so much on me. i was more angry than upset when they went "OH s**t, it's a girL"...

If this paper you're writing is so important, you might want to consider brushing up on your spelling skills. neutral

No, no violence has ever been aimed toward me. I'm just full of that much win.

I don't know if it counts against me, not technically being goth and all.

But anyway, everything ranging from gangs assaulting me, to being hit with a baseball bat, having half-bricks thrown at me and I've had a couple of people try to shoot me too.

Come close to being hit by cars several times ( I never knew u were supposed to drive on the sidewalk) Been chased down by "gangs" Lots of threats.

Got jumped downtown one time i lost the fight but i got a few good hits in. it happened because some a*****e decided that he didn't wan't "trenchcoat-wearing faggots" on his block and i asked what he wanted to do because i was clearly halfway through "his" block before i knew it three other guys came out of nowhere beat me down and took my wallet. (well tried to it was kinda chained to me.) so they kicked me a bit more until the point where the belt loop snapped.

well, if you dress alternative in any way (punk, hippie, metal head etc) i will still be able to use it.

Violence...hmm.

I've been nearly run-over by various people *guess why*, yelled at/threatened in various languages, chased, had people try to beat me up, and harassed by prejudiced biggots.

EDIT
By 'harassed', I mean taunted and have had bottles/rocks thrown at me (almost broke my neck once).

had "******** you f*****t" spraypainted on my house, then got jumped while trying to find out who did it. i guess the guys were dumber than even i thought.

Thats your own fault.... you didn't make a united front with your friends, you know like a normal person would.

A friend of mine was physically threatened countless times at her old school. She got stuff thrown at her in hallways, rocks thrown at her afterschool, numerous shoves and spit a few times.
When she tried to tell the school they advised her to see the counselor about her image provoking the other students.

Sounds akin to what happened with me, one of my teachers (prior to leaving the school system for good) told me, the reason I got tormented so much, physically, mentally and emotionally, was because I was never in.... not so much I was never in BECAUSE I got tormented.
